Stress Management - Mindfulness

In this class, we introduce to our minds the powerful stress management tool called mindfulness. We begin by clarifying the difference between the reality of the present moment awareness and the perceived reality of past and future events and how the body responds in relation to those perceptions. When consciousness is in the present moment, stress does not exist. We get there by being mindful.

The World is NOT a Stressful Place - the Book

After I finished writing the textbook, Stress Management for Life, I decided to write a book that would be good for everyone (and not just college students).

I wanted to write a book that would help you learn the real reason why you are stressed (what nobody is telling you), what you can do to reduce your stress, and even what you can do to prevent stress from happening in the first place.

And once you prevent and reduce your stress, you also get the happy outcome of reducing or even eliminating all the symptoms that go along with being chronically stressed.

Imagine how great it would be to feel better, to not have headaches, to be able to fall asleep quickly, to not feel anxious, depressed, angry, or afraid.

The book that I wrote is titled, The World is NOT a Stressful Place.

You may purchase the book by clicking this button [buybutton style="50.png" linkingurl="http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/TheWorldIsNotAStressfulPlace.html" windowtype="_self"]    

The book is also available at other online stores including Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

About Us

Dr. Michael Olpin

I have been studying stress management, mind/body wellness, and relaxation for nearly 30 years. I have presented a wide variety of lectures, workshops, and seminars on stress management and other health topics at the community, state, and national level.

I have taught complete stress management courses and other wellness courses at four institutions of higher education (Southern Illinois University, Concord College, West Virginia University and currently I'm at Weber State University). As a professor of Health Promotion at Weber State University, in northern Utah, my courses focus on mind/body wellness, health promotion, stress management, and wellness coaching.  I also consult and coach privately for individuals, community groups, and corporations in stress management, along with other areas of health and high-level wellness.
I have also produced several products related to stress management and wellness. Most recently, I finished co-authoring the third edition of a widely used university textbook on stress management titled Stress Management for Life available through Amazon.com. Recently, I wrote a trade book on stress management titled The World is NOT a Stressful Place, which is also available through Amazon.com. I have also created relaxation exercises available in CD, DVD, and Video format. The MP3 version of this production is available on this website.

I love to read, write, exercise, go to all of my kid’s events, create things, and work on any of a dozen projects that I always seem to have going.
