Welcome to the most practical, innovative and empowering Stress Awareness Workshop ever to be presented in South Africa!
Learn to positively identify stress in your life, understand the basic physiological and chemical pathways of stress, and how to consciously enhance your stress experience to maximize your performance and harmonize your life. Our life stressors are sometimes well hidden in our daily lives and spiritual belief systems, and have become accepted as what our life is about. By stopping our lives for a moment and changing the way we perceive things, our whole world view shifts, we can never go back to the same way of responding to the world so we have to change. The Stress Awareness Workshop is designed to teach individuals to cope more effectively with the stress in their work environment as well as in their personal lives. It is based on simple proactive principles to empower the individual to consciously decide to be pro-active and solution orientated as well as understand how their thought process adds or reduces stress in their lives.
The primary objective is to teach individuals how to understand their personal stressors, and maintain optimal stress levels in order that performance and efficiency can be sustained for longer periods of time. This is done by teaching the individuals to be more relaxed, alert and focused which will help to increased productivity.
