‘The Defrag Action Plan’ on-line course
‘The Defrag Action Plan’ on-line course: Strategies for calming your mind, clearing some mental space and establishing a calmer and healthier base-line level of physiological arousal
On this 6-week on-line course you will establish your own clear and specific wellbeing goals, and over the duration of this course you will put together a plan (a Wellbeing and Resilience Action Plan or WRAP Plan) that will act as a clear road-map for how to get yourself into a ‘clear, calm and focussed’ mind-space, and learn a number of strategies that will enable you to return to this mind-space more quickly and easily, and for longer periods of time. You will learn about the physiology of stress and learn techniques that will help you to calm the stress physiology and help you to regain and maintain the mental and physiological state that allows you to see things in perspective.
Angela’s goal is that in the process of developing your WRAP Plan, one step at a time, drawing from the content of each Unit, you will put that step into place in your life – that is that you will not only develop a plan, but develop new wellbeing practices and habits as you work through each Unit.
This course is made up of 6 Units, with a new Unit being made available to you each week. Each Unit includes approximately 30 minutes of presentations. You will also need to allow time to complete the relevant sections of your Action Plan as you work your way through the presentations. And most important of all, you will gain maximum benefit from this course if you make time to try out all of the different tools and strategies introduced to you, and work out which work best for you. This would ideally include 10 – 20 minutes per day of using one or more of the deep relaxation practices you are introduced to in Unit 2 of the course, plus putting the many ‘On-the-go’ strategies into practice in the midst of your Everyday life. You will have access to the course for 12 weeks, so you can work through it at the rate of one unit per week, with an extra 6 weeks at the end for review or alternatively you can work through each Unit more slowly and take 12 weeks to complete the 6 Units.
