Stress: is it a real enemy or just a scapegoat in order for us to excuse ourselves for behaving in hectic and confused ways, and not to take good care of ourselves?
We all know how difficult it is to fight stress and to achieve inner peace, even for people who have been trained. We have to deal with distractions, rejection, setbacks and difficult people on a daily basis which leave our energy and emotional resources running low.
Some common cases of stress:
– Moving to a new country
– Separating from our partner
– Thinking about our next career move
– Facing challenges with our children
– Looking for a job
– Financial problems
– Organising a big event/ project
– Feeling lonely/ missing friends/ having difficulty finding friends
– Struggling in our relationship
– Taking care of a member of our family
Defeating anxiety, stress, negative thoughts, procrastination and fears has never been easy. And it never will be. Not because there is something wrong with us, or because we are doing it the wrong way, but because it is something that indeed requires from us conscious effort, time, practice and a lot of mental energy. We are actually rewiring our brain: the aim is to change neuron paths that have existed since childhood and which make us behave in certain ways, and create a more useful path where things happen differently and are linked to different, more positive thoughts.
Yes, it is difficult to fight stress, but in this workshop we will acquire some useful tools that give us a chance to succeed.
In this workshop we will learn:
· What stress is and what the counter-action for it is
· How to be more in control of our thoughts and emotions
· How to protect ourselves from stressful and negative thoughts
- How to take care of ourselves and engage in healthy habitsJoin us and give yourself a chance to fight stress and to promote your self-care!
