| Abstract |
Relaxation skills, clear thinking, and self-awareness are all essential ingredients of sound stress management. Stress Management for Body, Mind, and Spirit provides an opportunity for viewers to learn and experience skills, such as progressive muscular relaxation, cognitive restructuring, and mindfulness. The fitness instructor DVD also addresses the issues of the cultivation of self-knowledge, connection and community, living with intention, the power of the heart, and the importance of clear communication. More than simply how to use a particular mechanical technique, the fitness instructor DVD offers a view of stress management as an essential self-management skill that extends to the body, mind, heart, and spirit of individuals, as well as the quality of their relationships. The benefits of integrating the wisdom of these skills into one's personal life and professional roles is also discussed. |
