Coping With Stress

An In-Service Programme was conducted to the 
members of non-teaching staff by the faculty of 
COOJ led by Donna Noronha and Tanya D’Souza, 
which was held on 06/09/2013 in the seminar hall 
of St. Xavier’s College, on the theme “Coping with stress”.


The Principal, Fr. Walter de Sa welcomed the 
participants and explained the relevance of this 
programme particularly in the present 
circumstances as working people find themselves 
involved in situations they find it difficult to 
face. He added that this programme would help 
them not only at their place of work but more 
importantly in their own families.


The resource persons asked each participant to 
introduce himself/herself with actions, which was 
repeated by others. They also sought to know what 
it was exactly that was causing stress. Several 
and diverse answers came forth from the 
participants such as pressure of work, lack of 
communication, no time, children’s misbehavior, 
deadline to comply with, no time to relax, family issues, etc.


“In such a situation, what do you do?” They 
asked. Some responded that they listen to music, 
watch T.V., play games, visit friends, watch 
movie, play with their children, and do breathing exercises.


Through a practical demonstration, they drove 
home the message one has to learn out of a 
critical situation. A participant was asked to 
hold a glass filled with water for a while. They 
asked him what he was feeling. He replied that 
his hand was paining. Had he kept the glass in 
his hand for a longer time, it would pain him 
much more till such time that he would be no 
longer capable of holding it, in which case then 
the glass would just fall down and break. The 
resource person applied this example to the 
stress an individual faces. Therefore, the best 
thing one can do is to keep the glass down, i.e. 
to settle oneself. Remain rooted on the ground like a tree, they said.


If something or someone is bothering you, 
communicate your concerns to your friend in whom 
you have confidence. If you do not voice your 
feelings, resentment will build up within you, 
and the situation will worsen leading to 
physical, mental and emotional disorders. Holding 
stress in our mind and body affects adversely our 
health. Therefore, one needs to express one’s 
feelings instead of bottling them up.


They pointed out that people many a time resort 
to unhealthy ways of coping with stress, such as, 
smoking, excessive drinking, taking pills or 
drugs, arrogant behavior, withdrawal from 
friends, etc. These, they observed, may 
temporarily reduce stress but in the long run, they cause greater damage.


They noted that the stress has a repercussion on 
the body such as palpitations, dry mouth, 
headaches, etc. They taught to the participants 
some of the positive result yielding strategies, 
like, concentrating on and stretching body 
organs, deep breathing, listening to music, 
playing with a pet, working in the garden, 
watching a comedy, playing with a child or 
finding an activity one enjoys, and feels the 
stress melts away. If you regularly make time for 
fun and relaxation, you will be in a better 
position to handle life’s stress, they added.


They also advised to repeat these exercises that 
would contribute to relaxation and feeling 
lighter. The participants expressed their 
feedback that the program was useful and 
beneficial to them. It ended with a vote of 
thanks to the resource persons from COOJ.

[Goanet] 1-Day Recollection for T.T. Members

1-Day Recollection for T.T. Members

The members of the Teachers’ Teams (T.T.), Goa 
Region, spent a day in prayer, and reflection on 
the apostolic exhortation, “The Joy of the 
Gospel”, of Pope Francis, on 6 October, 2014, in 
the Chapel of Our Lady of Miracles, situated on the hillock of Curtorim Parish.


The reflection made the members aware of their 
missionary responsibility and call to proclaim 
joyfully the message of love and forgiveness in 
order to bring about a transformation of personal 
lives.  “The Joy of the Gospel”, says Pope 
Francis, “fills the hearts and lives of all who 
encounter Jesus”.  He admonishes us to rejoice, 
and rejoice always lest we turn to be “Christians 
whose lives seem like Lent without 
Easter”.  Further, Pope Francis motivates us to 
reach out to others, seek those gone astray, 
stand at the crossroads and welcome the outcast.


The T.T. members took part in the Eucharistic 
Celebration based on the theme, “Go and do 
likewise”, words of Jesus addressed to the 
lawyer.  To love others, particularly the 
enemies, is the essence of Jesus’ message.


The members prayed the rosary and offered it for 
the intentions of the Pope, mainly, for the 
success of the extraordinary Synod of Bishops, currently taking place in Rome.


At the hillock the members experienced serenity 
and tranquility of mind and heart, and thus, the 
ambience led them to a greater relationship with 
nature and God.  The members thanked profusely 
the Parish Priest, Fr. Mariano Goes e Proença and 
his collaborators for the minute arrangements 
towards the success of T.T. programme.  May 
everyone respond generously to the call of the Master.
