As the semester responsibilities build, so can our stress. But did you know that how we view stress can impact our performance and overall health? Research shows that stress may only be bad for you if you believe that to be the case. In other words, it's all in how you relate to your challenges.
Faculty and staff are encouraged to share this information with students so they may join the Carruth Center for Counseling and Psychological Services tonight (March 26) in the Engineering Science Building, Room E207 from 7-8 p.m.
This workshop will walk you through understanding stress, identifying your areas of perceived stress, guide you through a mindfulness practice that can help you relate to and turn towards your stress in new ways, and use a reframing exercise to articulate the new perspective shift you've created. This session will include a few slides, some guided exercises and time for Q&A at the end. Feel free to bring a journal or notepad, but a worksheet will be provided.
