- Write 3 teaching topics you could share with a client to promote stress management. What is the rationale for each teaching topic?
-
- Talk to someone. It helps to talk through things and not hold them all in by yourself. Sometimes all it takes is a different perspective or running through something out loud to help relieve stress (Brown, 2021, para. 74).
- According to Brown (2021) another good teaching topic is to “Manage your time” (para. 54). By managing your time, it helps to not have our days consume us which can then become very overwhelming. “When we prioritize and organize our tasks, we create a less stressful and more enjoyable life” (Brown, 2021, para. 54).
- I would also teach the importance of exercise and a balanced diet (Brown, 2021, para. 68). According to Brown (2021) “making simple diet changes, such as reducing your alcohol, caffeine and sugar intake is a proven way of reducing anxiety” (para. 68). Brown (2021) also stated “another guaranteed way to reduce stress is exercise” (para. 69). Both of these actions help promote a healthy life both physically and emotionally.
