Stress from work and home life has escalated progressively in recent years, affecting our health levels, and has been exasperated by the pandemic. The Building Stress Resilience workshop will help you learn how to manage the stress you are feeling by explaining the effects of stress on the body and providing 10 scientifically proven techniques and tools to manage stress. You'll learn the number one way to immediately lower your stress level that you can do anywhere, anytime.

Do you feel that most days you are spinning your wheels, going full tilt, but not moving anywhere or making any progress? You may feel pressure to be productive and are struggling just to keep up with all the hats you have to wear. Learn some practical ways to feel like you've won the day, even if it hasn't gone all as planned. Find out what you should do the night before, why you should always make your bed, and the number one question to ask yourself each day.

What you eat, or don’t eat, can have a significant impact on your energy levels and productivity. This workshop will share a general explanation of how diet affects the brain and hormones, which food should be consumed and which should be avoided, and what vitamins, minerals and supplements are helpful for good mental health.

You know that feeling of stress piled on top of more stress? It’s not in your head. It’s exactly what’s happening in your body. However, there are ways that you can reduce your stress by simplifying life in a number of ways and taking back control over your mindset, circumstances (where possible), reactions, and surroundings.

It may seem like a good work strategy to do one more thing or push through. But, in fact, our focus and productivity will go down when our energy is depleted. This means we have to work harder and longer to get the same results that we would have had if we took the time to recharge. In this workshop, you’ll learn activities that will help you relax, calm your mind and energize you. Come to both to enjoy the experience and learn to recharge yourself.
