Enjoying Less Stress & Being Mindful – Stress Management Training

Home Courses Enjoying Less Stress & Being Mindful – Stress Management Training

Course Overview

Enjoying Less Stress & Being Mindful is practical stress management training designed to help participants better understand stress, recognise their personal stressors and develop practical strategies for managing pressure more effectively. Participants explore how stress can affect the body, thinking, behaviour and performance, and identify the situations and habits that may contribute to unnecessary stress.

The course introduces practical techniques for managing workplace and personal pressure, including mindfulness, breathing and body-awareness exercises, positive self-talk and acceptance. Participants also explore how boundaries, conflict, organisation and everyday habits can influence their stress levels.
