Stress Release Benefits Your Mind, Body, and Emotions
Stress Release not only helps you reduce stress, it helps you
Stress Release Improves Executive Functioning
The Executive Functioning part of the brain helps us think clearly and make choices that keep us progressing toward our goals.
- It is needed to reason, plan, problem solve, organize, strategize, pay attention to and remember details.
- It helps us focus, exercise discipline and self-control, be flexible, modulate emotional responses, relate well with others, and initiate tasks or activities.
When we experience stress, all of these capabilities diminish, making it harder to live peaceful, happy, productive lives. Stress Release improves executive functioning because, when we release stress, executive functioning returns to full capacity.
