STRESS MANAGEMENT
LEARNING/IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM
READ/LEARN
Read the pieces in the left box (printing what would be good for reference, putting those into referenceable notebook or file)
EVALUATE WHERE YOU ARE
PLAN WHAT YOU WILL DO (Hopefully copying as much as you can and/or jumping from others' plans)
Read, use to devise your plan:
resource which provides powerful effects (with work)
Address and prioritize these factors:
Physical - Maintaining homeostasis, rest, health, exercise, relaxation
Calming during the day (see Coping Strategies, below)
Consider the pieces on Calming the Mind, reprinted below but copied from the stress contents/links page.
PRACTICES TO IMPLEMENT
These, as in any new practiced behavior, alter habits and rewire the brain's response system, lowering the alarm function and doing more automatic screening in the left prefrontal cortex, where the happiness center is.
IMPLEMENTATION
The items in your plan, of course. Keep the reference lists for practices, above, to review every week.
Do a weekly plan every week! Tickle it up on your calendar/device.
