How one views and handles stress can plan an important role in their overall lifetime health/fitness and quality of life. Though not all stress can be considered negative, when we think or talk about it, it is often in the negative form. How you respond to stress is crucial for surviving life's ups and downs. Learning how to stay in control of stress, instead of letting it control you, will help you live a healthier life.

It will be impossible to discuss all stress has to offer in one lab setting, so for this lab we will identify your stressors and look at ways you may be able to reduce them. Next week we will look at other ways to reduce stress, such as exercise and relaxation techniques.

If excess stress is an issue with you, and you have the Wellness text, please review the following pages 312 – 322. If not, that’s OK, here are some other helpful links that may provide you with useful tools and ideas to help you manage stress.
