Description
Academic tasks and administration, tutoring and teaching, partner projects… and family first and foremost! You can feel the stress building up even while reading this. Being asked to do everything at once and straight away is an integral part of daily life in academia.
This workshop uses cognitive stress models to show how stress is triggered and the ways in which it can be reduced and avoided. We focus on the mental competence of identifying and changing those thoughts and beliefs which trigger and increase stress (i.e., perfectionism).
We also reflect upon the regenerative competence of keeping tension low and energy high. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to discuss and practice various relaxation methods.
