Learn how you can reduce and take control of stresses in your life.
The nonstop pressures and demands of your work life is the greatest challenge of the 21st century workplace. Companies trying to compete in the marketplace depend on workers to achieve greater and greater levels of productivity. As the pace and complexity continues to increase, it is essential to effectively manage the pressures you face when you feel overwhelmed and overworked with barely a spare minute to get your breath. This topic attacks stress from a knowledge level as well as an application and problem-solving level. It includes cognitive and affective objectives, enabling you to understand all facets of stress, know how to respond to stressors, and take responsibility for your own stress functioning. It presents compelling ways to manage your stress to minimize the debilitating effects of distress on the mind, body, and soul and productivity. It helps you make a distinction between destructive distress that causes depression and energizing stress that makes it possible to finish by the deadline. This topic is especially relevant to help you overcome holiday stress.
