There is this word: hormesis. Basically a fun or safe stress that helps us feel better. One analogy is making love – a strenuous vigorous even laborious act and after orgasm we feel a huge release and then relaxation. Sauna, cold plunge, breathwork, meditation have this hormesis. A hot sauna or cold plunge can feel uncomfortable and even stressful, and then after we feel fantastic and much better than before.
