Science-Backed Tools to Activate the Relaxation Response. An episode dedicated to flipping the switch
Mar 10, 2025
Stress might be automatic, but relaxation is a skill—one that you can train.
In Episode 5 of Master Stress with Dr. S, we explore how to 'flip the switch' from stress to relaxation using simple, science-backed techniques. The best part? It’s not about how long you practice—it’s about consistency.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✔️ Why consistency matters more than duration when it comes to stress management.
✔️ Practical techniques to activate the relaxation response, including:
- Deep breathing & progressive muscle relaxation.
- Mindful visualisation & short bursts of movement.
- Laughter & singing (yes, really!)
✔️ How to integrate these tools seamlessly into your daily routine.
This isn’t about adding more to your to-do list—it’s about small, regular actions that can retrain your nervous system for greater calm and resilience.
