Stress Management

Stress Management is to deal effectively with stress and entails achieving Physical and Psychological well-being by addressing and harmonising these areas for optimal well-being. About this course Stress management starts with identifying the sources of stress in life. This is not as straightforward as it sounds. While it is easy to identify major stressors such as change of job, relocation or stringent timelines but identifying the sources of chronic stress may be more complicated. It is also very important to understand how one’s own thoughts, feelings, and behaviours contribute to one’s everyday stress levels apart from the external events or situations. For an individual, it is difficult to avoid, for a prolonged period, threatening external event or situation which engenders a feeling of anxiety, tension and worry i.e., stress. This gives rise to some obvious questions like ‘How does one get into stressful condition?’, ‘Why do I feel drained out?’, ‘Is it good to take extra load for growth?’, ‘Does time-management help managing stress?’, ‘Is managing stress in my hands?’ ‘How as an individual should I approach and manage my stress and lead a controlled life?’. This course addresses the above questions encompassing understanding of stress, stressors and ways to deal with stress. This course will be useful for every individual, irrespective of one’s profession, even for the homemaker and the freelancer, to understand and manage stress and acquire this important life-skill and thereby keep one’s mind and body healthy. What you'll learn What is stress? Types of stress Symptoms of stress How to identify the stressors Consequences of stress Techniques for managing stress Time management for managing stress Spirituality and stress management Syllabus Week 1: Stress and Symptoms: What is stress? Types of stress Can stress be helpful? Symptoms of the stress: Physical, Emotional, Behavioral and Mental Week 2: Stressors and consequences of stress: Work level stressors and individual level stressors Short-term and long-term stress Consequences of stress Burnout Personality type A and type B: How they respond to stressors Week 3: Stress Management as a life-skill: Physical well-being: Exercise, Breathing, Nutrition, etc. Psychological well-being: Self-control, understanding personality type and moderating response, cognitive restructuring, social connect, positive self-talk, etc. Spiritual well-being: Meditation, Yoga and other relaxation techniques Stress associated anger and fear and dealing with them Work-life balance Week 4: Time Management a stress management technique: Relationship between time management and stress management Procrastination and stress Tools for time management: prioritising, scheduling tasks, SMART goals, delegation, learning to say ‘No’ About the instructors HAVYANG ZALA Assistant General Manager at State Bank of India For more details and to apply online, please visit here.

About the Program The program is a series of meditation-cum-contemplation sessions for working professionals. These sessions are very carefully designed by Divya Gupta, who lives in the Himalayas and practices under the guidance of Buddhist masters, so as to prepare the willing ones to not only become aware of their emotions, but also learn to transform them in their professional and personal lives. This series of month-long sessions comes with a unique blend of wisdom and compassion based teachings so as to enable the participants to develop a clear, aware, concentrated, contemplative, joyful and a balanced mind. Each one hour long session shall consist of 20 minutes of Shamatha (single-pointed) meditation, 15-20 minutes of talk on the topic for the day or an analytical meditation, and 15-20 minutes of Q and A. The sessions includes topics such as mundane happiness vs genuine happiness, attachment vs. love, anger vs. depression, reality that we perceive vs. reality the way it is, what we know vs. what we do, fears, cultivating awareness, self-compassion, Judging oneself vs judging others- how it’s far from truth, and many more that have a significant importance to cultivate an emotional stability and balance even at the face of most challenging circumstances that life can throw at us. Methodology Input: The external influence that we receive through our 5 senses plus our sixth sense our mind. An example of it would be ‘someone speaking negative words about you’, ear sense is at work here Mental Management: The processing that keeps happening in our minds (mostly without our being aware of it). It includes the feeling, thoughts, intention. An example would be ‘why bad things happen to me’, thoughts are at work here. Output: The expression that we give externally as well as internally as a result of the mental engagement processing. An example would be speaking harsh words as a response, expression of anger is at work here. This program is designed mainly to focus on the MENTAL ENGAGEMENT that happens in our mind without our being aware of it. We would be understanding this framework to begin with as to how the input affects us in different ways that in turn affects the mental engagements and lastly leading to an unskilled response to a difficult situation that makes ourselves and others agitated or disturbed. Gradually we will move on to transforming this mental engagement in a way that is beneficial for yours and others well being while also trying to build an understanding to bring it in sync with reality as per the Buddhist view. Eligibility This program is mainly designed for working professionals of all backgrounds.
