How to deal with stress

The concept of the three pillars of Vitaleurythmie each pillar deals with one question:
• 1. What is the problem? • 2. How to orientate with mindfullnes? • 3. What can be done (strategies)?

1. What is the problem? Where stress comes from social stressors personal stressors
enviromental stressors inner space person
me 3
2. How to orientate in three zones comfort zone(between leasure and lethargy; regeneration)
challenging zone(selfcontrol, meditation, lerning, eu-stress)
overchallenging zone(turmoil, ratrace, helplessness, diss-stress)
