Day 6: Stress Reset Day : Protect your nervous system
Here's a few things we can do daily to help reduce stress and calm our nervous system:
- 10 minutes deep breathing
- Prayer/meditation
- Journaling
- No-phone evening ( I really need to try this)
- Early bedtime
Stress increases our cortisol levels & chronic cortisol elevation contributes to:
- Hypertension
- Belly fat
- Elevated glucose
- Inflammation
Stress management is heart and whole-body protection.
