Course Description:
We are more conscious of our health today than ever before. But what about stress? Stress is a normal part of everyday life, and our picture of our overall health would not be complete without some consideration of how stress affects our emotional (and physical) health. Our Stress Management Course will guide you through the intricate landscape of stress, fostering an understanding of how to harness its energy to your advantage. This course is not just about minimizing stress; it’s about mastering the art of equilibrium, discerning a threshold where stress propels rather than hinders, and acquiring the wisdom to prevent stress from exceeding its productive limits. You will also learn the basics of good emotional health, how to improve your self-image and become more self-aware, and how your emotional health ties in to your physical health.
