Relaxation Training for the Performances of Daily Life
Each day you “perform” as you carry out the routine activities of your life. Whether at home, work or play, you manage responsibilities, complete tasks, and interact with others. How you perform each day is affected by many things, including how you handle stress. Learning to relax to avoid and manage stress has been proven effective in enhancing performance at school, at work, in sports and in daily life. Relaxation training boosts your confidence in handling the unexpected events of life and helps you feel better too!

Stress and Daily Living

Some people experience stress-related symptoms which are obvious and hard to ignore. Other people may not recognize the impact of too much stress.
