Life can be really hard sometimes. Even when you usually have the tools to cope, challenges can come at you unexpectedly and throw you off balance now and again.
The hard part is that during these stressful moments, you often find yourself stuck, not knowing what to do and where to go. Whether that’s dealing with a tough situation at work or managing conflict in your personal life, it’s important that you find a way through.
The five modules in this pathway will help you identify your warning signs of stress and equip you with a handful of tried-and-tested strategies to help you be happier and healthier in the long run, not just when the going gets tough.
This module focuses on understanding how stress impacts well-being. You will be introduced to the stress continuum in the form of green, orange, and red zones and see how a person responds behaviourally, emotionally, physically, and with their thoughts. You’ll also be introduced to the A-B-C model, which stands for Awareness, Balance, and Connection. The next three modules focus on this model.
Awareness is a crucial first step in identifying and understanding your responses to stress. When you’re aware, it becomes simpler to pinpoint what might be causing your stress and figure out how to manage your response. This module will help you increase your awareness and give you some skills to help you recognise and reflect on your early signs of stress so you can intervene early.
Balance isn't just about managing stress when you find yourself in the red zone; it's also about meeting your personal needs while handling life's demands. To do this, you need to have the skills to actively recover from work or any other situation that causes you to feel stressed. This module will teach you a few practical recovery skills to help you restore balance in the moment. You’ll also learn about some other types of balancing skills you can try when you have more time and space.
Reaching out and connecting with others isn’t just useful when you’re experiencing stress - it also helps you to look after your long-term wellbeing too. And, while other people can usually offer you practical help and problem-solve, just the simple act of reaching out - even if there’s no solution at the end - can improve your response to stress. This module will discuss some ways you can reach out to others and strengthen your support system. It will also show you other opportunities for connection beyond your relationships with other people.
This module recaps the content in modules 2, 3, and 4 and encourages the learner to put in place some of the techniques recommended to help manage stress and look after their wellbeing.
