Theflow of the coursehas been very carefully considered with concise video tutorials in clearly defined sections, in a logical order.Section 1 - UNDERSTAND THE STRESS REACTIONThis forms the foundation for everything that follows. How the body and brain respond to pressure and the effect of the stress reaction. How the brain’s survival mechanism produces ‘lower order’ emotional reactions that can be unhelpful and inaccurate.Section 2 - HOW TO REFRAME YOUR THINKING WHEN FACED WITH A CHALLENGING SITUATIONUnderstanding the ‘thinking traps’ we sometimes fall into. How you can step back, strip out the emotion and focus on what you can control to re-assess and handle challenging situations. A practical exercise for you to analyse and reframe a stressful situation you’ve experienced.Section 3 - HOW MEDITATION AND BREATHING EXERCISES HELP WITH STRESSI’ve found that meditation is quite misunderstood. What it is, how it works, how to do it.

In this section I talk about the science behind, and benefits of, mindfulness and breathing techniques, including scientific evidence of how they impact the brain and the stress reaction. And I’ll explain how you can make it a beneficial habit (which is especially useful if you’ve tried meditation and given up).Section 4 - BETTER FOCUS, LESS STRESSI’ll explain why technology makes us butterfly between tasks. You can do a quiz to explore your relationship with your phone and I’ll talk you through 7 practical micro-steps you can take to spend less time on your phone. I’ll explain why multi-tasking is a myth and there are practical ideas on how you can work more productively.Section 5 - HOW YOUR LIFESTYLE IMPACTS STRESSHow aspects of your lifestyle impact the way the body responds to pressure and can help build resilience. Here I’ll talk about exercise, getting out in nature, sleep and the benefits of learning something new.Section 6 - SUMMARY - BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHERI reflect on what I've covered throughout the course and you can start to build a personal plan to manage stress and build your resilience.
