DARE to Relax © Workshop

Transform daily stress into the energy needed to enjoy life.  DARE’s self-care principles include Diet; Attitude and Awareness; Rest, Relaxation, and Relationships; and Exercise. 

Learning to cope with the stressors of daily living is crucial to health, happiness and well-being.  It is estimated that 60 to 90 percent of medical conditions are stress-induced or worsened by stress.  This is costly in terms of medical bills, absenteeism, and loss of productivity.  An obvious remedy is to learn self-care techniques that both reduce stress and help one cope with the effects of stress.

DARE to Relax ä is a wellness-based relaxation training and stress management program that is practical and well rounded.  The format includes a balance of factual information and experiential activities.  Participants will:

1. Understand the dynamics of stress and it’s causes
2. Understand the positive and negative effects of stress
3. Learn how to reduce stress using the self-care principles of DARE to Relax ä

Diet: Nutritional considerations are discussed.  For example, stress depletes Vitamins A, B, C, and calcium.  Dietary recommendations are given to maintain proper nutrition.

Attitude and Awareness: The stress response is activated by the way a person perceives an event.  Becoming aware of stressors can help a person modify their thoughts and behavior so their reactions are healthier.  The mind/body connection is addressed and mind/body interventions are demonstrated and practiced to reduce stress.

Rest, Relaxation and Relationships: Discovering the difference of active and passive relaxation is taught.  A relaxation exercise is done so participants can learn experientially.  Information is covered on the recent research on relationships that shows the negative effects of loneliness on health.

Exercise: The benefits of exercise are well known.  In particular, physical activity helps burns off the bio-chemical effects of stress.  Participants are encouraged to maintain a practical exercise routine.
