Course Outline

Stress & Its Causes

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

Impacts of Stress

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

Reducing Stress, Routines & Plans

  • Examining the well-documented benefits of mindfulness (being aware of your feelings, thoughts, and attention), physical exercise, morning routines, meditation, belief remapping, and energy techniques (e.g., tapping or visualizing and moving the feeling).
  • Developing a feasible morning routine plan, which can serve as a foundation and an 'emergency' go-to technique during moments of overwhelm, panic, or stress.

Reflection & Action Planning

  • Reflecting on what you wish to gain from today (reviewed at the start of the course).
  • Guiding yourself on the one to three key changes you aim to implement to regain focus at work, and planning how to get back on track if you forget.

Requirements

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

Target Audience

  • Professionals working in dynamic, fast-changing environments characterized by competing priorities, ambiguous goals, and shifting targets.
  • Individuals who frequently experience any of the following: headaches, stomachaches, worry, fear, imposter syndrome, lethargy, feelings of overwhelm, or unstable relationships.
