WHAT PEOPLE SAY
The perfect tool for identifying, tackling and controlling stress factors.
Maija Anna Ludbārža
20% THEORY + 80% PRACTICAL TASKS - THINK, WRITE, DO
Read the intro of each chapter and then fill the tasks.
Some of the tasks require deeper thinking, some more creative. Some suggest to get up and go somewhere. Some instruct to take a deep breath.
In short - by doing the tasks and discovering how stress works you become increasingly more aware of what triggers stress in you and your reactions to it. Those moments exactly give you the opportunity to change your responses, actions and perhaps the environment.
