Stress relief tips for hard days
A bit of background
When you're feeling stressed and anxious, this is your brain receiving information from the world around you, and instructing your body to be on edge. But this 'fight or flight' response is millions of years old, evolved to help our early ancestors escape predators. Our problems are different now, but our body remains more or less the same. So sometimes, we experience stress and anxiety unnecessarily. We've included here a few exercises and routines that we use to relax in stressful situations.
