Strategies and Skills to Improve the Quality of Your Life

Course Description:

    Everyone has difficulties and problems in life. For some people it seems like every day begins with new challenges. However, not everyone knows that there are skills and strategies that can help them control their reactions to these problems. There is something that people can do about their lives, and this course will attempt to provide some necessary guidance to help you overcome the problems you face everyday.

    The focus throughout the five lectures is on the useful skills and strategies of self-management. This is a method of controlling your reactions to the challenges you face every day. The course includes discussion on self-motivation and self-discipline. These are key components to help you become confident in facing your daily challenges.

Procedure:

    The course consists of five lessons, each of which is accompanied by questions for reflection and discussion. It is important for you to discuss the questions with other interested people. Discussing the questions will help you in two ways: 1) when you tell your thoughts to others, you get a better idea of what you really think; and 2) when you hear what someone else has to say about an idea, you obtain new insights as a result.
