Make your life better now
When will your life get better? Is it when your mortgage is paid off, or when you get a new boss, or — if you live in Alberta — when the economy improves?
Why not make your life better now?
“Too often, we apply a ‘Life will be good when…’ expectation to our lives,” says Continuing Education instructor Kirk Macdonald. “But really the time to enjoy life is today, and one way to do that is to learn how to manage our stress.”
Macdonald, known for his powerful and grounded facilitation style, teaches the one-day Business Seminar, Stress Less: Managing What’s on Your Mind, on April 18th from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm at the downtown campus.
“Being stressed is a natural aspect of life,” says Macdonald. “At times, it can show up in our sleep patterns, diet, or through relationship conflict. When that happens, taking intentional steps to manage stress may be appropriate. The emphasis of this course is to briefly discuss elements of stress, then — more importantly — establish a specific action plan for each participant to apply to their own situation.”
This seminar is also intended for anyone, who may not be feeling particularly stressed at the moment, but understands the importance of learning positive stress management tools, in order to prevent stress from threatening their future health and wellness, explains Macdonald.
“Stress, either negative or positive, is a natural consequence of life. How we prepare ourselves to respond, rather than react, is up to us. Anyone who attends this workshop-style seminar, will have the opportunity to develop strategies and receive individual feedback for effective implementation.”
