Online: Balance your stress

Reduce unhealthy stress

Without stress, we wouldn't have survived prehistoric times. Because without stress, we would not be alerted to danger. Even now, stress enables us to work under pressure, deliver a good performance, respond quickly to any danger, and make decisions. But too much stress is unhealthy. In this course you'll learn how to recognize stress and stress signals and how you can decrease unhealthy stress, for example through mindfulness, meditation, and other relaxation techniques.

For whom?
What and how

Those who suffer from stress often insist the cause lies somewhere outside themselves. "I'm so busy, I have to do everything at home on my own, then there's the kids' busy schedules, and I have to look after my mother too." Whoa, wait a minute! Stress is not a "thing" that's introduced into your life just like that. You are the one who can control your own emotional burden – what you feel and how you think. In this stress management course we take you step by step, exploring the things you can do to reduce stress levels to an acceptable, manageable level. A level that suits you in your particular situation.

What will I learn?
Stress is a hot topic. Magazines and newspapers regularly publish articles about stress, burnouts, bore-outs, and absenteeism caused by stress. Our society is definitely affected by it. And, more importantly: you're probably affected by it. Which makes life a lot less fun. In this course, you're going to learn to look at your "weak" points using mindfulness and meditation. By living consciously in the here and now, you learn to leave all these thoughts be and let them go without judging them. You'll be working on your stress using techniques such as RET, REI, and SMART. In addition, you'll also be given pointers on how to recognize and deal with beginning and advanced stress, with the help of the stress test.

What will I do?
Stress. What is it, exactly? Are you suffering from tension or physical issues? Well, you're not the only one. Everyone suffers from stress at some point. Just take a look at the people around you and you'll soon find out. A little stress every now and then is no problem, because we need a certain amount of stress to be able to function properly. You know, to perform under pressure, deal with exciting or busy times, and to be alerted to danger. But this course about stress and stress management takes a closer look at unhealthy stress: stress that really bothers you and can make you ill. It will help you recognize, monitor, reduce, and even utilize your own stress. Signals such as fatigue or headaches are often just brushed aside as minor complaints. They're not taken seriously as a physical sign of trouble. And that's not a good thing, because they are important warning signals.

After this learning journey, you'll know:

how to recognize, reduce and cope with stress
how to let go of stressful situations and thoughts
techniques such as RET, REI and SMART
