  @brainsmatter@mastodonapp.uk Stress triggers cortisol, which thickens blood and boosts clotting risk. Over time, this strains the heart. Try this: When overwhelmed, sit with your palms open. Breathe deeply—5 seconds in, 5 out. Repeat for a minute. It lowers cortisol, thins blood vessels, and resets focus. Let me know how it feels.

  @brainsmatter@mastodonapp.uk Stress triggers adrenaline and cortisol, tightening blood vessels and diverting blood flow from routine organs to muscles—a survival reflex. The mind interprets tension as danger, but breathwork can recalibrate. Try 4-7-8 breathing: inhale 4s, hold 7s, exhale 8s. Repeat thrice. Biology informs strategy; mindful action heals. Let’s strip stress to its bare bones.
