Q4 IPI-Mayo Clinic Virtual Speaker Series: Cultivating Resiliency During Stressful Times
October 3, 2024 at 11:30 am ET
Stress is perceived when there is an imbalance between the demands placed on us and our ability to meet those demands. Ongoing stress has a negative effect on health, happiness, relationships, sleep, mood, and overall quality of life. Excessive stress also adversely affects cognitive functions including attention, memory, judgment, and decision making.
Resiliency is the ability to adapt well to stress, and to thrive even amidst adversity. Resiliency correlates positively with several psychosocial and health related variables.
In this session, you will understand how the brain and mind generate unwanted stress every day, even during routine daily activities. Based on this understanding, you will learn a two-step program that will empower you to manage your stressors with less distress, and as a result, enhance your physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

Stress, Good, Bad, Ugly
The Brain’s Two Modes: Default and Focused
