Why INNER Stress Management?
The most damaging effects happen to the body and brain when we feel helpless or overwhelmed. By being proactive and learning
effective stress management skills we can become more confident in dealing with stress. The more inner-self understanding we have
of our physical, emotional and mentally states, the less helpless and overwhelmed we will feel when stressful events happen.
About INNER Stress Management
Stress is an important part of life. We need it to grow. If stress is turning into distress it requires healthy management skills. We
suggest managing stress from the inside-out. Outside stressors can not be eliminated, but we can change our inner relationship with
the stress in our lives. The goal is to develop three simple inner management skills.
The Workshop includes a 3 part learning model for INNER Stress Management:
* Study materials on stress-loops, nervous system, hormonal system and emotional energy.
* Practice to release stress from the body and restore the mental energy.
