How do you hack your stress level?

Here are 8 tips (based on the brain region):

This brain region helps us decide, solve problems, and handle emotions.


Here are 2 practices you can try:

(Mountain, sea, lake, desert, forest…).

This brain region helps us sense, move, and stay aware of space.

My favorite is a lakeshore with a few birds.
You can integrate them into your meditation, yoga session, at work, or before going to bed.

Yeah, I wake up very early.

If you prefer the sunrise or the sunset, you can check out this magic of nature.
