Tips for Success

Consider the following tips to help you get the most out of this online course:

• Read the "How to Navigate" information (available on the "Tools" page) to familiarize yourself with how this course is structured. Understanding the different sections included in this course will help you know where to go to get the information you want.
   
• Take this course with a friend or colleague, and then share your discoveries and insights.
   
• Complete the "Workshop" to find out more about your personal stressors before going to the "Strategies" section.
  
  
• There are many places in the "Workshop" where you are asked to respond. Clicking "next" registers your response. Clicking "back" before you click "next" erases your response. Once your response is registered, you may go back to edit it at any time.
   
• Begin the "Strategies" section by reading strategies that relate to your top five stressors, then explore strategies that address other areas of your life.
   
• Please be aware that many strategies are interrelated. Refer to the suggested links in each section to get more information.
   
• Don't try to do too many strategy ideas at once. Choose no more than one or two ideas from any one strategy at a time, and do them for a while before trying out additional ideas. Attempting to change too many areas of your life at once may cause additional stress. Incremental changes are often the most long-lasting.
   
• Print your Action Plan so that you can refer to it regularly. (You may find information about how to print in "How to Navigate" located on the "Tools" page.)
   
• Print the "Survival Kit" and keep it posted where you will see it every day.
   
• Use each strategy idea as a starting point; modify and personalize it to suit your specific needs.
   
• There are many resources available to you through Wellbeing Lifestyles. Click on "Resources" on the "Tools" page to get additional information.
