This Stress Relief Trick Looks Funny. The Science Says Otherwise.

I know what you're thinking. What is this guy doing??

But what you're watching is a form of interoception, the practice of intentionally bringing your awareness inside your body and feeling what's happening in real time. And the research is clear: that shift in attention activates the parasympathetic nervous system fast.

That's your rest-and-digest mode. The antidote to the chronic fight-or-flight most of us are locked into all day. Cortisol cranked. Shoulders tight. Brain buzzing.

Does this look a little funny? Yeah. One hundred percent. But small exercises like this make a real difference. And a longer, happier, healthier life is worth looking a little goofy for.

Big shoutout to @jamesmoorewellness for putting this out there.
