Objectives
- Learn to understand that stress and anxiety are normal bodily reactions and that these feelings have a purpose. Learn how we can cope with stress and anxiety more effectively through greater self-care.
- Short term stress: identification of bodily reactions to stress and anxiety in difficult situations, such as a tight deadline or communicating with a demanding colleague, and techniques for managing them.
- Medium to longer term stressful situation: how to separate the benefits of stress, such as motivation, excitement and feelings of achievement, from the negative consequences of it. Learn how to re-programme stress as normal and see it as courage.
- Being courageous is demanding on the individual so learn how to stop and self-reflect, and replenish your needs, as well as checking in on your colleagues.
