Managing Stress: Turning an Evolutionary Response into a Wellness Tool
As someone who has struggled with anxiety and stress, I've been learning about the evolutionary origins of our stress response. It's fascinating how what once protected us from predators now impacts our daily lives in modern society. I've found that understanding stress as an adaptive mechanism helps me reframe it more positively. Rather than fighting against stress entirely, I'm working on channeling that energy productively through exercise, meditation, and other healthy outlets. Have any of you had success with similar approaches to stress management? I'd love to hear your experiences and tips!
