Reprogramming Your Mind to Alleviate Stress

Stress impacts both the mind and body, primarily when individuals experience a sense of loss of control, leading to a fight or flight response. This response activates a state of high beta brainwave pattern, which causes incoherence in thoughts and emotions, further exacerbating stress. Focusing on the problem intensifies this state, leading to a detached mindset and increased anxiety. To counter this, techniques that encourage individuals to broaden their focus, shift their attention away from material concerns, and embrace a state of mindfulness can help move the brain toward a more coherent and creative alpha state.
