Stress reduction decreases physiological and psychological responses to perceived threats, promoting calm and well-being. Strategies like mindfulness, exercise, and social support help modulate the nervous system and improve overall resilience.
Stress reduction involves mitigating the physiological and psychological responses to perceived threats or demands, leading to a state of calm and improved well-being. This is achieved by modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and autonomic nervous system, which in turn reduces anxiety, improves mood, enhances sleep quality, decreases heart rate and blood pressure, and enhances cognitive function. Effective strategies include mindfulness, breathing exercises, yoga, physical activity, nature exposure, hobbies, social support, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
