The Stress Paradox: Friend Or Foe
This foundational lesson introduces the revolutionary idea that stress is not the enemy. You will learn the difference between Distress (the harmful, overwhelming stress) and Eustress (the positive, performance-enhancing stress) and understand why our bodies evolved a stress response in the first place. By the end of this module, you will start to reframe your relationship with pressure and understand its inherent power.

Decoding Your Alarm System: The HPA Axis
Dive deep into the science of what happens in your body when stress hits. This module demystifies the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis and the roles of key hormones like Cortisol and Adrenaline. More importantly, you will learn to accurately identify the unique physical and emotional signals—the tight stomach, the racing thoughts—that indicate your personal alarm system has been activated.
Lição 3
Harnessing The Power Of Positive Stress
This lesson focuses on unlocking the benefits of Eustress, the positive stress that sharpens focus and boosts performance. We will explore the Yerkes-Dodson Sweet Spot—the optimal level of arousal needed for peak function—and introduce the powerful Reframing Tool to help you consciously shift challenging moments from overwhelming Distress to energizing Eustress and growth.
Lição 4
Decoding Your Stress Profile
This module helps you define your unique relationship with pressure. You will learn to conduct a Stress Inventory to identify your financial, relational, environmental, and internal triggers, and categorize your default coping mechanism using the Four F's (Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn). Finally, you will learn to plug the subtle Stress Leaks that silently drain your resilience.
