Essential Skills: Managing Stress
March 5 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
ABOUT THE LIVE WEBINAR
Stress can significantly impact our health by weakening the immune system, making us more vulnerable to illnesses and infections. It can also lead to chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and digestive issues. Additionally, prolonged stress affects mental well-being, contributing to anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. This stress management workshop is designed to help you understand and manage the unique stressors of farming. You will explore the factors contributing to farm stress, recognize the symptoms and consequences, and learn how to measure your own stress levels. Using practical tools such as the ABC Model of Stress, this workshop will guide you through fostering self-confidence and cultivating mindfulness as key strategies for managing stress. You will also receive tips on creating a positive state of mind and practicing stress management techniques that you can apply immediately.
