Thank you for your rapid and candid responses to the surveys that are a necessary component of
this research project! Great job!!
You have been ralndomly chosen to participate in the first stress management group, which will
begin receiving e-mail messages this week.
MESSAGE #4:
As a participant in the first phase of the stress management program, you might find the
following bits of information useful.
In the upcoming weeks, you will receive 2 messages per week. The first message will generally
be educational, providing the background information on specific stress management techniques.
The second message will generally be instructional and it will include a practice exercise for the
week.
Also, you will also have access to the website which will be updated with new information
weekly, providing you with more information about the topics and more examples (click on the
"stress management tip of the week icon).
To get the most out of this program, try to incorporate the stress management techniques into
your daily life. The suggested techniques have been validated and proven effective when
practiced regularly. Practice the "technique of the week" each day until you get a new
assignment. I promise you will get better at it!!!
It will be easier to remember to practice if you pick a time of the day (before breakfast, after
lunch, etc.) to devote to stress management.
KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS PROGRAM IS NOT A THERAPEUTIC DIALOGUE. It is an
educational program, and I am acting in a role similar to a coach. I am here only to provide
guidance and clarification about the stress management techniques. Each week, you will be
asked to respond about whether you understood the lesson and whether you found the technique
useful.
I hope that this is a program that you will enjoy and learn from. Have a great weekend!!
MESSAGE #5:
As you are starting a stress management program, it is helpful to understand what stress is and
what it does to your body.
Stress is a result of your awareness of and your body's response to potentially threats or
challenges. Your body responds to challenges by getting "revved up" (speedy heart rate, rapid
breathing, tight muscles, etc.). This is great when you need to fight off or run away from a lion
that escapes from the zoo, but (thankfully) that doesn't happen every day.86
