Lifestyle Compass
Stress Management
Evidence-based techniques to manage stress.
Learn about mindfulness, meditation, and the physiological impact of chronic stress.
Mental Peace
Chronic stress releases cortisol, which harms your heart and immunity. Managing stress is not about avoiding problems, but controlling your reaction to them.
Practice Mindfulness
Spend 10 minutes a day doing nothing but observing your thoughts or breath. Meditation changes the physical structure of your brain and reduces anxiety.
Digital Detox
Constant notifications keep your brain in “fight or flight” mode. Turn off non-essential notifications. Designate “tech-free zones” in your home.
Engage in a Hobby
Doing something you love (painting, gardening, chess, or music) creates a “flow state” that naturally lowers blood pressure and stress hormones.
Repeat 4 times to instantly calm your nervous system.
“It’s not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it.”
