Welcome to Montana 4-H Congress! You and 300 of your closest friends have been shipwrecked on a deserted island when your 4-H cruise liner went down somewhere in the Pacific. Your only way off the island is to make some new friends, learn some new things and utilize your leadership skills to work together and charter a new course for home.
Homework, after-school job, sports, 4-H, volunteering, friends, family..... all of these are wonderful, but have you ever just simply felt overwhelmed by having so much going on? While feeling overwhelmed happens to many of us, it's important to learn the signs of stress in addition to some tools that you can use to minimize your stress. This workshop will introduce what stress does to the body, and how we can use breathing techniques and mindfulness to reduce those feelings of being overwhelmed, even when we have a LOT of things going on in our lives!
