A structured, evidence-informed course with Professor Daniel Martin on managing stress in daily life, work, and recovery.

In this course, you will start with the foundations of stress so you can recognise what is happening in your body and mind before pressure becomes overwhelming. You will explore how stress builds over time, identify your personal triggers, and learn how early warning signs show up in thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. This creates a stronger foundation for Personal Development and more intentional decision-making when life gets demanding.

You will then move into the science of regulation, where you will practice breathing techniques, grounding strategies, and attention reset methods that help settle the nervous system. These lessons are paired with cognitive tools that reduce mental overload, improve perspective, and support healthier responses to pressure. Instead of feeling controlled by stress, you will learn how to interrupt unhelpful patterns and recover your sense of clarity.

The course also focuses on daily systems that make Stress Reduction sustainable. You will learn how to manage workload, set boundaries, protect your time and energy, and use sleep, movement, and nutrition as part of your recovery process. Additional guidance on digital overload and communication skills helps you lower unnecessary friction and create an environment that supports well-being.

By the end, you will have a personalised plan that brings together the most effective tools from the course and helps you maintain progress under real-world pressure. You will leave with a clearer understanding of your stress patterns, a stronger ability to self-regulate, and a more resilient approach to challenges in work and life.
