QUOTES

Neha on why stress is not necessarily what's hampering your performance: "Scientific data from sports science tells us that stress is not the killer of high performance. The real root cause that affects performance is the absence of recovery after a stressful period."

Neha's fundamental tip for stress management: "If you notice, anytime you're feeling stressed and you curb that fundamental urge to take action, to move, you'll feel it as a tremor in your body. And that is when you're feeling stressed, you end up blurting things that you don't want to say or later regret. To manage stress you have to fundamentally learn how to manage that aggression response."

Neha on breathwork and how it can help you manage your stress levels: "The point that I want to make is, you can't think your way out of it. Breath work is the tool because your thinking brain is being shut down when you're under stress."
