Description:

This course is a practical introduction to the elements of life balance and stress management. We will define stress, distress, work-life balance, prioritizing, time management, and other stress-management concepts. We will use self-assessments and the students' own experience as an opportunity to explore these issues. This course will give individuals the effective skills to identify stress-related symptoms and help them to deal effectively with overcoming stress. They will learn specific tools that will immediately reduce negative stress, help increase productivity, teach them how to use energy in the right direction, and improve life balance. Creative projects, reflection papers, and proven relaxation techniques such as mindfulness and breathing exercises will be integrated into the course to facilitate the learning of students.
