Course Outline

Stress & Its Causes

  • There are two types of stress: distress (adverse stress causing negative feelings and physical dis-ease) and eustress (beneficial stress fostering positive feelings and motivation).
  • Discussion of the specific stressors faced by participants.
  • Examination of burnout and how it differs from stress, noting that burnout is more permanent and pervasive.

Impacts of Stress

  • Exploration of the chemicals involved in the stress response and natural daily energy peaks.
  • Understanding how these chemicals trigger fight-or-flight responses, promote short-term thinking (which hinders problem-solving required in stressful situations), and suppress the parasympathetic system (essential for health, such as digestion and memory storage).

Reducing Stress, Routines & Plans

  • Study of well-documented benefits of mindfulness (awareness of feelings, thoughts, and attention), physical exercise, morning routines, meditation, belief re-mapping, and energy techniques (such as tapping or visualizing feelings and releasing them).
  • Development of a feasible morning routine plan, which can be expanded upon and used as an 'emergency' coping strategy for overwhelm, panic, or acute stress.

Reflection & Action Planning

  • Reflection on personal goals for the day (reviewed at the start of the course).
  • Self-advice on one to three key actions to take differently to return to work focus, and strategies to regain track if deviations occur.

Requirements

  • A willingness to share personal feelings in a group setting.

Audience

  • Professionals working in highly dynamic and fast-paced environments characterized by competing priorities, vague goals, and shifting targets.
  • Individuals who frequently experience symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, worry, fear, imposter syndrome, lethargy, overwhelm, or strained relationships.
