The Rule of Two: Making Sustainable Change while Managing Stress

The rule of two advocates making two small changes at a time to effectively manage stress and make sustainable changes. This approach is based on the idea that trying to implement multiple changes at once is less likely to stick. By incorporating just two new things at a time and building them into daily life over time, individuals can work with their biology of stress rather than against it. This strategy is validated in clinical practice, where mentors advise focusing on two specific aspects for patients, allowing about eight weeks to build a habit before adding two new changes. Over time, this incremental approach enables addressing a wide range of symptoms or medical conditions, ultimately leading to comprehensive stress management and overall improvement.
