Science-based tools to reduce stress:
1) In Real Time
Physiological Sigh: double-inhale (nasal), then extended exhale to lungs empty (mouth); 1-3X.
2) Raise Stress Threshold
Uncomfortable (but safe) cold exposure.
~12 min per week; 1-5min per session.

The term physiological sigh was coined by scientists in the 1930s; not by me. It’s a naturally occurring pattern of breathing that offsets CO2. It has some overlap with traditional breathing techniques but is distinct. Not meant to replace other language.
Ideally the cold exposure is done in water and immersion to neck is better than cold showers (say the data) but both work. Don’t do within 4-8hrs post weight training (again, say the data). Before is fine. My colleague @Stanford Craig Heller covers all this on the HLP.
