Stress is a full-body response to the challenges of life that everyone experiences, often amplified during the busy holiday season. This time of year can bring additional pressures from family gatherings, travel, and end-of-year demands. Being able to skillfully turn towards and cope with stress enhances well-being and helps you navigate the stressors of the holidays. In this session, participants will learn how to improve their mindset by understanding what stress is, how it impacts the body, and how to manage it effectively. Opportunities will be provided to explore and practice quick, evidence-based relaxation techniques that can be easily integrated into daily life, helping to maintain calm throughout the holiday season.
