How can you put stress in a healthy perspective and what "tools" can you draw on to mitigate your personal, professional and interpersonal stresses?  

Throughout the "de-stressing day", you will likely laugh and chuckle as you learn positive and insightful ways to deal with stress and definitely think about committing new approaches and solutions so you can live with stress and various stressors in a productive manner. 

The reality is ...the human experience is a stressful ride in life but we must build "shock absorbers" and framework for healthier living, a positive support system, a capacity to live a more balanced life and an ability to laugh and put stress consistently into a useful perspective.
