Everyone experiences stress – 3 out of 4 people have felt so stressed that they were unable to cope. However, stress is a natural response to feeling threatened. Experiencing stress can be useful, motivating us to complete tasks that we might otherwise put off. However, experiencing lots of stress, or long-term stress, can impact our physical and mental wellbeing.
The first step in managing stress is to understand how stress works and identify the stressors. Effective stress management helps you break the hold stress has on your life. In this workshop Bloomwise provide tips and strategies for identifying and managing stress in your everyday life so that you can be happier, healthier, and more productive.
