mindfulness is important, also self care!
I learned to do manage stress by doing phusical activty for 30 minuts.
I realize that I really need to stop when I'm feeling stressed. I know how to breathe but I don't do it consitently and I don't ususally look at my emotions and then analyze and then choose. I need to slow way down.
Stress is a normal and natural response, but allowing it to overwhelm you can be a problem. This course introduced me to new ways of managing and recognizing stress. I look forward to implementing some of it's methods, such as taking time for mindfulness in my day to day.
I found the stop, breath, reflect, and choose method can be very helpful in stressful situations. Exercise and eating healthy has always been a big part of decreasing stress. Too bad many people don't do it!
I have learned to take a moment in stressful situations.
I had so many takeaways from this course
Two helpul ones related to 1) Using structure as a way to gudie and plan for effectvness, which ca then help us manage stress and allow for time to counter stress and 2) Tpping into self-care, midnfulness, good food, and plenty of sleep as ways to fortify health for better resstance to negafuve impacts of stress
It was a great reminder to not catastrophize and see stress as performance enhancer
I learned to deal with my work stress!
I usually deal with the effects of work stress by doing some exercise, like walking on my lunch break.
excellent class I will use some of the techniques discussed
Stress is to call an action from each you, to perform the task at a higher level, or over-react and cause stressed.
I learned strategies on how to manage stress. Also, if after taking a moment to stop and breathe, trying your best, and realizing that some things are just beyond your control, then you have to let go.
Stress can lead to physical burdens. It's encouraged to step away, breathe for a moment, reflect, and move forward with whatever has caused the stress ... sending a reply to an email that angers us a minute after receiving it may not be the right choice. Doing so can create tension that could've been avoided. It's best to step away: push yourself away from the desk, breathe and think, and then perhaps send a reply that will be a bit more calming, yet professional.

I always knew how to deal with stress and anxiety however, dealing with it daily makes you forget and focus on the stressor, give in to what will make you feel more energized, easy and less task taking at the end of the day. Coffee, junk food and not doing anything after a long day of work. Which adds to your stress and anxiety. The Covid19 pandemic did not help and made it worse. This course reminded me that its time to refocus and re-assess the way I approach my team and my work. Good health is very important and will help me cope up with the demands of work at the end.
It's been a tough year, with a monumental learning curve. I need to not let work overwhelm everything else. I plan on working on a better balance between work and the rest of my life. I've already added some of the stress deduction techniques. But have found others that I'll be adding.

Maintaining an even keel and letting things slide off and repeat positive affirmations. Exercise and eat healthy foods. All great advice.
I've learned that small activities, such as taking deep breathes, can actually help. After reflecting on myself, I've realized that I've set higher standards/expectations on myself than perhaps actually placed upon me. Still have work to do to manage my stress level.
