This is what a cortisol-lowering day looks like.
Cortisol is an important hormone that helps your body respond to stress. The goal isnβt to get rid of it. Itβs to support a healthy stress response when your body needs it.
Here are the habits behind each hour:
βοΈ 7 am: Get the right amount of sleep
π 7:30 am: Take certain supplements (fish oil, ashwagandha)
π 8 am: Get regular exercise
π₯ 12 pm: Eat a nutritious meal
π 2 pm: Recognize stressful thinking
π³ 3 pm: Breathe
π 5:30 pm: Spend time with a pet
π 7 pm: Have fun and laugh
π―οΈ 9 pm: Tend to your spirituality
You donβt have to do all of these perfectly. Consistent, sustainable habits around sleep, movement, stress management, and connection can help support your overall stress response.
