At The Nautilus, there are various relaxation techniques available, such as meditation and guided yoga sessions. While initially these may prove challenging to manage, over time these strategies have proven successful at helping reduce stress levels and promote wellbeing.
One way to ease stress is through exercise: walking, yoga and running are all effective forms of movement that can reduce anxiety while increasing physical fitness.
Establishing a routine can be tough, but doing so can help you set goals and track your progress more easily. Being consistent will accelerate results faster.
Though it may seem challenging at first, making exercise part of your regular schedule can help manage stress and improve overall health – potentially decreasing risk factors like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
