Stress Managment

We had a stress management workshop on Nov.5,2007 at St.Clair College. It was hosted my Tim Field, my strategies teacher. The first half was teaching us about stress, why it happens, what are the causes, what are the effects....
We filled out sheets about us to determine our stress levels. After filling out my sheet i found that most of my stresses are coming from my job and school. With being back in school and making less money because of it i feel very stressed. I scored a 340 on the stress test, which we learned puts me in the range of 80% likely to become ill.
After we learned what makes us stressed and the consequences of it, we went up to the board room and learned how to control stress and relax.
Once in the board room, we had to remove any distractions (ie, coats, books, wallets...) and sit back and relax. We listened to "The Joy of Stress, Power Nap" and totally RELAXED! It was very nice to sit back and feel your body unwind and destress!
After the workshop i realized i will have to learn to spot myself getting stress and stop it ASAP, before i die of heart problems,.. haha.
