Coping with Everyday Stressors Workbook: Facilitator Reproducible Guided Self-Exploration Activities

In our frenetic society with demands being placed upon people in the workplace, school, community, and home, it is more important than ever for people to find creative ways to cope with and maybe even eliminate distress in their lives. Distress is different than eustress (a name for good stress), which is the helpful type of stress, one that is a burst of energy, telling one’s body what to do. It is the type of stress that can help one accomplish tasks, goals and projects, motivating one to move forward. Eustress becomes distress when it is overdone.

Use the assessments and activities in this workbook to help your clients look at the four prominent dimensions which make up a sense of optimal wellness and help them experience Eustress, rather than distress, in their lives.
