Key Takeaways:
* Good Stress vs. Bad Stress
* Effects of Chronic Stress
Quick Stress-Busting Tip:
Deep breathing helps reset the stress response. Try box breathing (inhale 5 sec, hold 5 sec, exhale 5 sec, hold 5 sec) or the 4-6-8 method (inhale 4 sec, hold 6 sec, exhale 8 sec). Practicing this daily can calm the nervous system.
