If you’re an ambitious, driven person, someone who enjoys what they do and the life you have  ... you also know that it comes with quite a lot of stress. 

For many of us that has become something we just live with ("middle lane stress").  It will ease when the project finishes , the kids aren't sick, you can go on holiday or take a break.

But it doesn't really end. It's relentless ... and it's eating away at our energy, focus, quality of life & work, relationships, free time, confidence, and goals  ... basically LIFE!

With all this going on, there isn't really time to look for strategies to manage the stress better.. and it could be worse?!

The reality is that even small stressors can  leave their mark physically and mentally.

How good would it feel to be able to face up to a challenge or pressure at work with confidence, energy & motivation?  To know that you had support and skills to thrive through a stressful period or to help those you care about when they are struggling?

What could you achieve if you were able to bring your best to every thing and everyone when you really needed to... even if you were stressed.  No more regretful  "if only I had said  / done X. Why couldn't I think of that earlier, why did I react like that?"

Embrace Stress introduces proactive, pre-emptive stress management strategies, which help you to recognise, reframe, and reset stress-related triggers and behaviours.

At the end of the course you will have a personal plan for dealing with stress, and growing more confident and resilient in the face of adversity.  

Don’t let stress define your limits, use it to drive you forward. 

This guided online course will change the way you look at the stress producing habits and events in your life (big or small). You will regain control of the way your mind and body respond to stress.

The Stress Reset course is for you if you …

• self-manage current stress 
• need to be able to perform at your best under pressure, when it really matters
• want to know how to pro-actively approach future stressors to become more resilient,
• want to minimise the health implications of stress;
• want to help staff or friends through stressful situations; 
• interact with stressed individuals (at work or at home!);

"There were some real eye-openers during this 6-week course... highlights were understanding how even small stress in my life was impacting work and people around me; how easy some of the strategies to reduce stress and start thinking clearly are; and, on a bigger picture,  I wasn't living my life to align with my values which was making me seriously stressed"

John C, Investment Banking

"I went off down a few rabbit holes of discovery

There are several tips from  this course that I use everyday and look forward to doing. Others I will go back to when I need to

This kinder, less harsh approach to stress has really helped me through a period of immense change"

What’s Inside The Stress Reset

General practice has become to avoid stress and relieve its symptoms. But science suggests that increased self-awareness, self-acknowledgement and acceptance are key to finding balance and success long term. 

The Stress Reset course combines key elements of coaching, self-development and science in a way that is accessible and relevant to everyone.

Because we all experience stress differently in different circumstances, the course covers nervous stress, overwhelm, worry, personal conflict, the physical and mental impact of stress .. all with one aim... to help you overcome it and keep living a life you love without giving up your goals or aspirations.  Stress will NOT define your limits. 

Module 1

REFLECT

Before we start the course, it’s helpful to set a baseline for our current relationship with stress. We will look at the definitions we use when we talk about stress, and the importance of “stress mindset” … what you believe about stress matters.

Module Highlights:

• Assess Your Stress 
• How to change your Stress Mindset
• Define stress 

Module 2

RECOGNISE

Stress is your body’s natural way of responding to any kind of demand or threat… but there is more to this response than fight or flight. 

We look at the biology of stress; how the mind and body play equally important roles in the process; identify your own personal stress response and exactly what triggers it; and we look at ways to relieve physical symptoms of stress.

Module Highlights:

• Understand the science of the stress response - physical and mental - and it's place in the modern world.
• Identify your stress triggers and symptoms
• Create strategies to limit knock-on effects of stress and avoid counter-productive responses.
• Start building a "personal self-care kit" - ways to relieve stress that work for YOU

Module 3

REFRAME

You cannot necessarily control everything in life, but you can control how you view it. 

We begin to explore how we can use the stress triggers and symptoms to start to change our reaction to stress. We also see how the little habits our brain has developed to promote survival can trip us up in the modern world, and how to work around them.

Module Highlights:

• Learn how to transform feelings of nerves or stress into the power to perform well under pressure (presentations, interviews, exams, competition,..)
• DIscover how certain thinking patterns can trigger or exacerbate stress ... and how to change them
• Specific strategies to calm nervous or anxious reactions - minimise "mind - blank", stay calm, think rationally, reduce tremors or physical weakness,...

Module 4

REALIGN

Research on resilience shows that having a sense of purpose helps people persist through – and bounce back from – adversity.

We identify the things that are most important to you – your values – and how you can connect with them to find strength and solutions under pressure. This includes a deeper dive in to procrastination and worrying – both frequently associated with stress

Module Highlights:

• Identify your values and how they can be both sources of stress 
• Learn how to build more of your values into daily life for greater resilience and a buffer against stress
• Strategies to prevent procrastination
• Discover how you can "Worry Well"

Module 5

RECONNECT

Stress can be isolating. WE can feel inadequate, singled-out and alone in our struggle.

We will look at how connecting and caring for others triggers the biology of courage and creates hope; examine and extend our support network; hone in on why personal conflict can be so hard to deal with and simple techniques for dealing with it.

Module Highlights:

• Learn how the stress response wires us to value and seek support 
• How you can use this to support long-term physical, especially heart health. 
• Identify your "support squad" - who can you turn to when things are tough
• Understand how to approach personal conflict
• Using empathy and compassion to find calm and reconnect with those around us 
• The benefits of Gratitude and Kindness

Module 6

RENEW

Without our stress responses, our ability to effectively learn, form memories, and change our behaviors for better survival would be severely diminished. But is it true what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger? 

We identify your strengths, how you can utilise them to perform well under-pressure, and the value of reflection in building resilience. We will also look specifically at overwhelm – when we feel inadequate to the task(s) at hand – and what to do about it.

Module Highlights:

• Identify your core strengths and how to use more of them to raise confidence
• Learn how to identify opportunities for growth from adversity 
• Build strategies to feel more resourceful under pressure
• Discover how you can "Overcome Overwhelm"

Module 7

REFRESH

The pursuit of happiness has become a big source of stress… but science shows that there are small shifts and habits that can make a big difference. Learn what psychology and neuroscience have discovered really makes us happy; and how to build more of them in to your day without creating more demands on your time, money or energy.

Module Highlights:

• Learn what psychologists and neuroscientists have learnt about what really makes us happy
• Identify how you can do more of the things that underpin personal happiness
• Discover how you can get more out of your day / time
