Why Stress Matters for Performance
Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which competes with healthy hormone balance, reduces sleep quality, and blunts motivation and arousal. Managing stress isn’t “soft”—it’s performance-critical. The fix is not intensity, but reliable routines.
Daily Stress-Lowering Protocol (15–20 minutes)
- Morning light (5–10 min): Natural light anchors circadian rhythm and supports nighttime melatonin.
- Breath set (3–5 min): 4-sec inhale → 6-sec exhale, nasal breathing. Calms the sympathetic system.
- Walk break (10–15 min): Easy pace, shoulders relaxed. Pair with gratitude or neutral observation.
- PM wind-down (20–30 min): Screens off, stretch + read. Bedroom cool, dark, quiet.

Stress control is the “silent multiplier” of performance. Keep protocols short and repeatable. Over weeks, your sleep, energy, and confidence rise together.
