How to lower your cortisol!

1. Get Moving, but Not Too Intense

Exercise is awesome for stress, but if you're constantly doing intense workouts without enough rest, it could actually spike your cortisol. Try low-intensity workouts like yoga, walking, or Pilates. These still keep you active but help calm your nervous system rather than over-stimulate it.

2. Prioritize Sleep

Getting quality sleep is essential for managing cortisol levels. Aim for 7-9 hours a night, and keep a regular sleep schedule. Try to unwind before bed—read, do some light stretching, or meditate. The goal is to chill out, so your body can do its thing while you’re asleep.

3. Manage Your Mindset

Your mental health plays a huge role in cortisol. Practice mindfulness, journaling, or even just deep breathing throughout the day. It helps to take short breaks to center yourself, especially if you're feeling overwhelmed. Plus, focusing on positive thinking really helps shift your perspective when stress hits.
