Minimizing Stress, Anxiety and Depression for Maximum Happiness

Stress, depression and anxiety may not sound as scary as other life-threatening diseases, but they can be as detrimental and dangerous to your health. The effects take a toll on one’s mental and physical well-being — not to mention impact our ability to succeed personally and professionally. In a world that is fast-paced, constantly changing and always connected (overly connected), it is unrealistic to eliminate them altogether. This session will help you identify symptoms of stress, depression and anxiety. Featuring health, wellness and workplace experts, we will explore ways to minimize stress and better manage your energy, thoughts and time in a more positive way. Together we will learn how psychology, mindfulness, sleep, nutrition and exercise all contribute to creating a happier and more successful life.
