Hans Selye, the father of stress management, said that if he had it to do over again, he would never have used the word "stress." He would have used strain. Your participants can learn to reduce the wear and tear on their systems through specific learning and techniques to interrupt and manage stress buildup. Recuperation is one major phase to add to one's daily planning. And the general buildup of high positive energy takes on more importance in daily lifestyle as well as long term health maintanence.
Participants learn to assess stressors in their lifestyle, environment, and organization. They practice three techniques for interrupting stress buildup. And concentrate proactively and specifically on preventing stress or strain in the future. Internal self-monitoring is introduced to lay down the basic skills for internal self-management and enhanced living.
