Stress is part of life. We actually need a certain amount of stress to learn, grow, develop and be healthy. However, when stress becomes overwhelming it can negatively affect our health, productivity, and relationships. Understanding what stress is, how it affects us, and specific ways to manage it are the keys to being “positively” stressed. In this workshop you will identify the differences between good stress, distress and burnout. You will also learn and practice a variety of stress management skills, and create a personal action plan for being “positively” stressed.
