Stress relief ( personal enrichment)

The personal enrichment workshop I went to taught us how to manage and cope with stress along with stressful situations.  The instructors first had everyone examine a raisin using all five of our senses. At first this seemed weird but this exercise was suppose to increase our attention and mindfulness through meditation.  We then talked about different situations that would be stressful to college students.  Towards the end of the workshop, the instructor really grabbed my attention with his method to addressing stressful situations.  They used the acronym DEARMAN which allows us to figure out a problem and how to go about fixing the problem without getting stressed.  The instructors left with a great lasting impression because at the end of the workshop we meditated while the instructor hit a bell.  This meditation released all the stress an tension from all our muscles.  I left that workshop feeling relaxed.  I recommend this workshop to everyone even if they are not a freshman.
