Online Stress Management Course

People respond both physically and emotionally to stresses created by events and the environment. This is because the mind and the body work together in a complex way to create the whole individual.

Stress is an everyday fact of life. You can't avoid it. Stress can be defined as any change that you must adjust to. While most people think of stressful events as being negative, such as injury, illness, or loss of a job, they can also be positive. For example getting a job promotion, buying a new home, or falling in love can all be stressful. All stress is not is not bad, in fact stress is essential to life. It is how you react to stressful experiences that creates a stress response.
