Therefore, we present to you the most effective and popular ways to manage stress in this book. Stress management exercises play a crucial role in maintaining both physical and psychological health. Regular physical exercises help reduce levels of cortisol and adrenaline – stress hormones. At the same time, exercises stimulate the production of endorphins, chemicals in the brain that act as natural painkillers and mood enhancers.
Stress can seriously disrupt your sleep, making it intermittent or shallow. Exercises can promote deep sleep, which in turn can reduce stress.
Regular workouts can improve your overall physical condition, which positively affects your self-perception and increases self-confidence. An improved self-perception can be an effective means against stress. Activities requiring repetitive movements such as running, swimming, or yoga can have a meditative effect on the brain, helping to distract from stressful thoughts. Many types of physical activity, such as team sports or group fitness classes, provide opportunities for interaction with others, which can reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation. Integrating stress management exercises into your daily routine can significantly improve your life, making you more resilient to the stresses of everyday life.
