Are you feeling the weight of stress and looking for effective ways to manage it? You've landed in the right place. On this episode of Smart and Well, we dive into the science of stress, unravelling its adaptive nature, and how it's not always the villain it's painted to be. That's right, stress can actually help us navigate challenging situations – but, when it overstays its welcome and becomes chronic, it can affect our physical, emotional, and psychological well-being.
We're joined by Luis Castillo, a certified mindfulness-based stress reduction trainer with a PhD in neuroendocrinology of the stress response, and the founder of Innerminder training platform, who shares his insights on taming stress. We step into the realm of mindful awareness, spotlighting an exercise focused on the breath and body sensations. This exercise is a gentle reminder of how important it is to observe our internal experiences without the urgency to fix or change them. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand and manage their stress better.
