Notes de l'éditeur
- Hello and Welcome to this Workshop on Stress Management. My name is Carolyn Travers. I would firstly like to acknowledge the traditional owners of this land we meet on today, and the Bindal and Wulgurukaba Elders past, present and future. I am not going to remember all your names, but we will go around the room and say who we are and 1 thing about ourselves that others in the room may not know about us. I will start with myself – My name is Carolyn and I am a mother and a grandmother. Today we are going to talk about Stress Management. The Workshop will be broken up into 4 main sections.
- Here are the 4 sections. We are going to look at what stress actually is and what sorts of things cause us to feel stressed. We will look at how stress makes us feel both physically and emotionally. We will discuss ways to cope with stress. We will look at some ideas to help you develop some personal skills to actually prevent stress.
- A3 PAPER WITH WRITING Stress can happen when you feel under pressure to do something and think you will fail. Stress is often described as a feeling of being worried too much. We all experience stress at times. It can sometimes help us to finish tasks, so it can be positive, or perform well, but stress can also be harmful, which is negative. Stress can be caused by many, many things. Here is a list of just some things that can cause. LIST THINGS FROM POWERPOINT I want you to break up into 4 separate groups – some will have 2 and some 3. Each group will look at 1 of the 4 different things listed that can cause stress in these situations. I will give you 5 minutes to list as many things as you can on your sheet of paper for the one you have been given. We will then come back together as a group and discuss these things. I will come around and provide an example for each group. HINTS ON SEPARATE SHEET OF PAPER WHEN FINISHED – PUT UP ON WALL WITH BLUE TACK & DISCUSS – notice similarities and differences
- WHITE BOARD List 1 Physical feelings & List 2 Emotions and behaviour There are quite a number of physical feelings that can occur because of stress – let’s name some of them – I will start: Headaches – stomach aches – not sleeping well – wanting to sleep all the time – overeating – loss of appetite – having no energy – getting sick more often – aches and pains all over – heart beating faster – feeling sweaty There are also quite a number of emotions and behaviours that can be out of the ordinary when you are under stress: Emotions eg Frustrated – sad – angry – depressed – scared – anxious – overwhelmed Behaviours eg cry easily – blame others – smoke cigarettes – drink alcohol – overdo things – spend long hours watching TV or with social media – cannot concentrate What we notice here is that these things are all quite negative, and we need to consider some ways to cope with stress
- Here are 3 things that can help you cope with stress. Can anyone tell me why these 3 things might be important to help us cope with stress – remember these points – POINT TO WHITE BOARD RESPONSES FROM ‘HOW DOES STRESS MAKE YOU FEEL’ Exercise – take our mind off what is causing our stress – help regulate our eating and sleeping – help the stressful situation make sense – help us to concentrate better Talking to someone – help clear your mind – sharing your problem can help – can help to calm you down – can reduce your anger or sadness Keeping a journal or diary – can help you reflect on your stress and find solutions for yourself – it is a place to confess your fears without anyone judging you – helps to clear your head of the emotions and sadness There are so many other reasons these 3 things are helpful, but there are also many more things that can be helpful. HANDOUT – COPING – Write down some other things you think would help you cope with stress. I will give you a few minutes to do this. We can think of ways to cope, but what would be best, is to find ways to prevent stress if possible.
- It is very important to think about the things that are in your control and let go of the things that are not – ask for an example – eg you may have control over your decisions about what you wear, but have no control over what others think of what you wear It is also very important to ask for help if you are feeling way too stressed. The next slide is a MANIFESTO - A manifesto is a different way of writing your views or ideas. These are my views and ideas about coping with, or avoiding stress. I have a copy for you all, but you might like to write your own sometime. You can write one about many things.
- One of the best ways to avoid stressful situations is to be prepared – in other words, think through situations ahead of time. Plan how you will say no if someone offers you a cigarette or alcoholic drink or a ride in a car with someone who shouldn’t be driving. Be proud of yourself for being able to say no. You can avoid the bad peer pressure by spending time with friends who don’t make you uncomfortable. You can also avoid places that make you uncomfortable – suggest alternatives. If your friends start picking on someone else you can speak up. If you say nothing, you are agreeing with them. Be smart and ask yourself this questions: What can go wrong? If you can answer this question with a lot of things that can go wrong then you should be considering an alternative.
