It or that

Can I use ' that' or ' this' instead of ' it' in the following sentence? If not, why can't I use them?

. These days we regard stress as a necessary evil of modern living. Yet stress is not negative and without it we would not enjoy some of the highpoints in life such as the anticipation before a date .
