We all experience it from time to time. But there are things we can do to relax our body and mind more, and to protect our body and brain from the negative effects of (chronic) stress. So here are my favorite habits! PLEASE NOTE: I'm not a doctor and this video isn't medical advice. I'm sharing my own thoughts and experiences, in the hopes that they'll be helpful for others too.
