Stress is often carried in the shoulders. A relaxing stretch to release the tension in that area.
Andrea shows a "steam roller" technique in massaging your own forearms.
JSC Part-Time Faculty member, Andrea Altman gave a hands-on workshop on various techniques to manage stress at work. She taught breathing techniques through meditation, some fantasic stretches that can be done from your office chair and a couple massage techniques that can be used to help combat stress. This was a high energy, entertaining workshop that left all participants relaxed to finish out their days.
Can You Take the Heat?
SELF AWARENESS-KNOWING YOUR NATURE, YOUR ABILITIES, and how to react to people and situations-may well be the greatest life management skill you can have. The Acorn Principle, written by Jim Cathcart is a guide to doing a complete "life-checkup" that will help you pinpoint your talents and strengths. 
Several employees shared their lunch break with James to learn how "Easy" it is to make homemade pasta. Eggs, flour, oil and some water!!
Carolyn D'Luz from Academic Support helped assist James with the separating of the egg whites.
James boils up the fresh pasta to share with participants and tosses it with some fresh tomato sauces. Very tasty especially the pasta that had the basil wrapped in it. Now to try this some time at home and see if it's as "Easy" as he made it look.
Twelve JSC employees attended the workshop over their lunch to learn more about financial responsibility with Professor Cezar.
Henrique also shared a spreadsheet that can be used to track overall expenses. This helps provide awareness to where funds are being spent, maybe where changes can be made or possibly the need to find another source of income.
