Does the temporary relief of the holiday break seem as if it has worn off? Are you feeling a little “stressed?” We all realize that stress is a part of life. We can’t avoid it; however, some of us have the ability to cope with stress in a more proactive way. Not having the right tools in place and reacting negatively can leave you prone to suffer stress-related symptoms and illnesses.
The goal of this program is to learn the tools to manage stress in an effective way. Our time will be spent covering the following:
- What is stress and how does it cause damage?
- Baseline: How stressed are you?
- Humans are animals: The physiology of stress
- Taking control: Power over stress
- FUEL – Fill Up Energy Level
Participants will leave with a proactive plan of action to cope with stress, reduce or eliminate symptoms of stress and even reduce their risk of diseases, which are caused or made worse by stress.
