It seems that the amount of stress and how we manage/control it is different for each individual. Healthy stress for me is the tension to that keeps me focused on a goal, striving to succeed and the little voice that encourages me to keep at a difficult task and not quitting. It can be motivational!! Unhealthy stress is when I start to recognize that I either have too much to realistically complete or that something out of my control is happening and I focus/obsess on it too much. The trick to managing the unhealthy stress is recognizing it. Standing up for my own balance and saying I need help or saying 'No, I will not do XXX'. When I get obsessive on something, I need to stop, breathe, meditate and slow down. Like everything in life, it is all about balance!! There is good stress and unhealthy stress.
