Outsmart Your Overwhelm: Simple Strategies to Stress Less, Live More (Part 2)

Presented by:   Michelle Rembert , ChildServe

Note:  This is a continuation from the previously offered session Stress Live, Live More held the spring semester of 2018.  While new content will be presented, attendance at Part 1 is not required to attend this course.

Description:  Feeling overwhelmed?  Well you’re not alone. We live in a world becoming increasingly busier. Trying to juggle the demands of life and career is one of the biggest problems employees report.  When you have so much on our plate, your life start to feel chaotic—you can become frazzled and stressed.  When this happens, the fight-or-flight system kicks in and our brains go into survival mode—at the expense of being able to think clearly, problem solve, make decisions or take action.  The good news is that you can use the power of the mind-body connection to get past the overwhelm (or better yet, prevent overwhelm!) and get back on track to stress less, accomplish more, and live more fully.

Objectives:

1. Identify the meaning of overwhelm and some common causes
2. Understand overwhelm from a brain and mind perspective
3. Identify practical, simple tools based on neuroscience, mindfulness, and positive psychology that can help you manage overwhelm, increase focus, improve productivity and live with greater ease and well-being
