Occasional stress is a normal part of life. However, chronic (long-term) stress may contribute to or worsen a range of health problems. Chronic stress negatively impacts every organ in the body, down to our cells and molecules.
One way to cope with stress and counteract its harmful effects is by using practices that produce the body’s relaxation response—the opposite of the stress response. Our “Press Reset on Stress” flyer explains how to do three simple mind and body practices that can produce the relaxation response: an easy-to-learn mindfulness exercise, progressive muscle relaxation, and slow, deep breathing. You can use these techniques anytime, anywhere.
