Stress-proof your life: practical stress management techniques

4th April 2011

Is your life one big juggling act? Would you like to learn practical ways to prevent and manage stress?

We all lead busy lives and need a range of skills in order to deal effectively with life’s challenges. There is a fine line between positive pressure, when we feel motivated and good about ourselves, and negative stress, when we start to feel overwhelmed and our emotional and physical health can suffer.

In this half-day skills workshop you will learn how to

recognise nature's early warning signs of stress
make sense of the causes of your stress
use practical techniques to support you in everyday life

At the end of the workshop you will have new skills which, with practise, will enhance your health and happiness for life.

What will the workshop cover?

the early warning signs of stress
understanding personal stressors
how personality and other factors influence the stress we experience
practical stress management techniques
guided relaxation exercises

Is this workshop for me?

If you know that you are in a busy phase of life, juggling lots of things, then this fun and practical workshop will provide you with tools to stay in control and enjoy life. No previous experience of this type of workshop is necessary, just an open mind and a willingness to take part. You won’t need to share confidential information.

What kind of workshop is it?

There will be a maximum of 12 participants and a mix of activities including some exercises that you are invited to do in pairs and groups. There will also be a variety of guided relaxation exercises. I take great care to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and relaxed: activities are designed with that in mind.
