Manage Stress: 6 Easy Habits to Lower Cortisol Level

LET'S START

Stress is unavoidable, but how we handle it may affect our health. Simple yet effective daily practices may help you manage stress and live a more balanced and satisfying life.

Prioritize Physical Activity: Exercise greatly reduces stress. It boosts mood by releasing endorphins, your brain's natural mood enhancers. Even a little stroll or exercise will help.

Practice Mindfulness: Being present without judgment. Meditation, deep breathing, and yoga help you concentrate on the present and reduce worry.

Healthy Eating: Diet affects stress levels. Limit coffee and sweets to avoid energy dumps and anxiety. To maintain energy, eat a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats.

Get enough sleep: Stress increases without it. Get 7-9 hours of good sleep each night. Having a nightly routine and a pleasant sleep environment may enhance your sleep.

Connect: Stress management requires social support. Friends and family allow you to express yourself. A new perspective on your difficulties and a feeling of belonging might also result.

Manage Time: Stress frequently follows overload. Successful time management may restore control. Make a timetable, establish achievable targets, and split chores down.
