You don’t need an hour of meditation to reduce stress. Micro-habits—small, repeatable actions—can regulate your nervous system throughout the day.
Simple practices include: 3 deep breaths before meetings, a 2-minute walk after lunch, digital breaks every 90 minutes, or writing down one positive thought before bed.
These habits compound over time, improving mood, sleep, and emotional resilience.
FAQs:
Q: Can tiny habits really reduce chronic stress?
