Stress Management
Stress is a part of everyday life. Everyone knows what it feels like, but why do so many people react to it differently? The bottom line is that a person’s way of managing stress is based on how they learned how to cope with stress from childhood on through adulthood. When you react to stressful situations in an unhealthy way it can cause insomnia, digestion problems, headaches, memory loss, and high blood pressure, just to name a few.

Learn how YOU can achieve your goals by changing your approach.

Do you ever wish there was more time in your day to accomplish all the tasks that need to get done? Are you having a difficult time balancing your job, personal life, and schoolwork? Like most students here at the University of Arizona Global Campus, working a full-time job, taking care of children, and finding time to complete assignments have become the norm. It’s difficult to find a balance between the several obligations you need to attend to.
