Your body\u2019s stress response\u2014often called the \u2018fight or flight\u2019 response\u2014triggers a cascade of hormones including cortisol and adrenaline. While this response was brilliant for our ancestors avoiding predators, it\u2019s less helpful when we\u2019re stressed about work deadlines or financial pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Immediate relief strategies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">When stress hits hard, these techniques can help you regain control:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Box breathing<\/strong><br>This technique is used by everyone from corporate executives to military personnel.
