Description
This course is for you. We aim to help you be the best version of yourself, to be that person who can be resilient in the face of stress, who can find joy in life. Using both individual presentations and professional dialogue, this course will help you understand the nature and sources of stress in your life. We will present specific content about how to develop your personal identity and resilience, as well as specific skills and activities that you can use to meet the everyday challenges of life. Educational materials are balanced with skills development; we include both written exercises to help you think creatively about the concepts covered and experiential activities, such as meditation, relaxation, and guided imagery.
Some basic concepts of Positive Psychology are woven into this course. This school of thought emphasizes what is going right with people, and as professionals, we want to help you build on that. We want to help you go beyond just coping, or getting by—we want you to THRIVE! In a world that seems filled with bad news, frightening changes, and people drawn into negative, opposing camps, we offer an alternative. It’s not an antidote; we can’t make the bad stuff disappear. But we offer a different viewpoint, a set of skills that can help you to realistically access the positives within yourself and find glimpses of good in the world. We welcome you to a journey toward your best self.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone seeking more peace, joy and purpose in life
