Stress Management Workshop

Stress is a condition or feeling experienced when a person perceives that demands exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to mobilize.

Stress is often termed as a twentieth century syndrome, born out of man's race towards modern progress and its ensuing complexities. Just about everybody—men, women, children and even fetuses—suffer from stress. Relationship demands, chronic health problems, pressure at workplaces, traffic snarls, meeting deadlines or growing-up tensions can trigger stress conditions. People react to it in their own ways. In some people, stress-induced adverse feelings and anxieties tend to persist and intensify

Stress and health are closely linked. It is well known that stress, either quick or constant, can induce risky body-mind disorders. Immediate disorders such as dizzy spells, anxiety, tension, sleeplessness, nervousness and muscle cramps can all result in chronic health problems. In the long run they may also affect our immune, cardiovascular and nervous systems, contribute to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other cardiac risk factors such as addictions (smoking, alcohol etc.) and obesity, eating disorders (unhealthy food habits), gastrointestinal disorders such as an ulcer or irritable bowel syndrome, precipitating attack of asthma or migraine.

Stress is known to worsen many immune related medical conditions, including diabetes. It suppress the body's immune response, increasing susceptibility to infectious diseases. Chronic stress tends to affect the balance between oxidants and antioxidants in the body which may result in pathological responses causing functional disorders and diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease. It can also accelerate the aging process.
By Learning to understand and manage stress we can prevent the counter effects of stress.

A stress condition can be real or perceived.

A significant amount of stress symptoms can be avoided or aroused by the way we relate to stressors. Stress is created by what we think rather than by what has actually happened to us.

So here is a workshop that gives you a comprehensive idea about what stress actually is, when it can become harmful to us, how to identify that we are getting adversely affected by stress and we need therapy. It will tell you about practical tips and solutions to keep our stress under control. It gives you information about breathing techniques, meditation and the importance of regular exercise in stress management

Research suggests that stress can actually increase our performance. Instead of wilting under stress, one can use it as an impetus to achieve success. If handled positively stress can induce people to discover their inherent talents.
