Course Outline

Understanding Stress & Its Causes

  • Exploring the two forms of stress: distress (negative stress causing discomfort and adverse effects) and eustress (positive stress fostering motivation and beneficial feelings).
  • Discussing the specific stressors faced by participants.
  • Examining burnout and differentiating it from general stress, noting that burnout is often more persistent and widespread.

Effects of Stress

  • Analyzing the chemicals involved in the stress response and the natural energy peaks during the day.
  • Understanding how these chemicals trigger 'fight or flight' responses, promote short-term thinking (which hinders effective problem-solving), and suppress the parasympathetic nervous system (essential for health, such as digestion and memory storage).

Stress Reduction, Routines & Planning

  • Reviewing well-documented benefits of mindfulness (awareness of feelings, thoughts, and attention), physical exercise, morning routines, meditation, belief restructuring, and energy techniques like tapping or visualization.
  • Creating a practical morning routine plan that can serve as a go-to 'emergency' technique during moments of overwhelm, panic, or acute stress.

Reflection & Action Planning

  • Reflecting on the goals established at the start of the course.
  • Identifying one to three actionable changes to reintegrate into work life, and planning strategies to stay on track if distractions occur.

Requirements

  • An openness to sharing personal experiences and feelings within a group setting.

Target Audience

  • Professionals working in dynamic, high-pressure environments characterized by competing priorities, ambiguous goals, and shifting deadlines.
  • Individuals frequently experiencing symptoms such as headaches, stomachaches, anxiety, fear, imposter syndrome, lethargy, overwhelm, or strained relationships.
