How to Reduce Stress: Evidence-Based Techniques

Reducing stress requires both immediate coping strategies and longer-term lifestyle changes. Immediate techniques include deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and grounding exercises. Longer-term strategies include regular exercise, mindfulness practice, setting boundaries, improving time management, and building a strong support network. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an 8-week programme with strong evidence for reducing chronic stress. Our stress management workshops provide practical tools you can use immediately.
