What participants say about Managing Stress: work/life balance
The Stress de baas course is one I was perhaps even embarrassed to sign up for. Now, having completed it, I can recommend it to anyone who suffers even a little from stress, and I am very positive about it. It gives you tools for dealing with stress and explains why stress exists and how you sometimes make it worse yourself. It has already given me a great deal and I am confident it will help me in the future too.
A good course run by an experienced and pleasant trainer, for anyone experiencing stress symptoms because of work and their private life. You are guided thoroughly through all the aspects and causes, and you learn to put them in order, which makes you really take action.
This course is definitely recommended for people who experience too high a workload or feel even the slightest sign of stress. Don't hesitate, take this stress management course straight away, because before you know it you will be too late and end up at home with an illness or burnout.
The methods presented in this course can certainly be a help in stressful situations, as long as you are open to them yourself.

Healthy stress gives you energy, focus and sharpness at moments when you have to perform. Afterwards you can relax again. Stress becomes unhealthy when the tension lingers, you no longer come to rest and your body and mind are not given time to recover. This often shows itself in sleeping problems, irritability, fatigue and loss of concentration.
What are the first signs that I am under too much stress?
Common signals are poor sleep, persistent worrying, a shorter fuse, fatigue, headaches, a tense body, difficulty concentrating and the feeling that everything is too much. If you experience this for a longer period, it is wise to act before the complaints get worse.
