Course Description
Everyone experiences stressors at work and in life. No matter what your job responsibilities might be, you’ll experience stress eventually. Sometimes stress can be helpful, but other times it can be harmful. How we react to stress is important because it can have a negative impact on both physical and mental health. If stress isn’t properly managed, it can compound over time. This can lead to other chronic health issues like anxiety, insomnia, and digestive issues. So how do you notice signs of stress in your body? What can you do about it?
In this course, you’ll learn what stress is, how it can manifest in your life, and how it can impact you over time.
