“There cannot be a stressful crisis next week. My schedule is already full.” - Henry Kissinger
Stress. It is a part of life. It cannot be avoided. For many, stress is perfectly manageable and taken in stride. Indeed, some even thrive on stressful situations, while for others it can become debilitating, impacting relationships, job performance and health. Book stores have entire sections devoted to stress and stress management, and the phone book is crowded with professionals who make a very good living trying to help people deal with stress. The fact is, most of us know what stresses us out, and we have a pretty good idea of how to reduce that stress. But knowing it and taking action are two very different things. This audio conference presents a layman’s view of stress and stress management, identifying sources of stress and discussing the ways in which we can reduce the impact stress has on our everyday lives.
This audio conference covers:
- What is stress?
- Common sources of stress
- The impact of stress on our lives
- Tips for reducing the impact of stress
- Useful resources for self-learning
