The CSM program can also equip you with the tools and skills necessary to face situations that make you feel stressed.
What is Stress?
Stress is the body and mind’s response to an external or internal event that destabilizes our sense of security. Stress can be a response to both positive and negative events and is highly dependent on how you perceive the situation. While many humans thrive under a certain level of stress for certain tasks, you may find that after you reach higher stress levels that you do not perform as well (LeBlanc, 2009). Managing your stress levels on a daily basis is important to mental health and general well-being.
