You can crack the code to stress management using a stress code involving your 5 senses. The Stress Code refers to alert levels of stress and the associated responses to reduce or minimize the impact of stress. Stress typically is the result of frustration, conflict, pressure, or change. Using your five senses is a terrific way to ground yourself and reduce stress. Each sense can activate the body’s relaxation response, helping calm your mind and manage tension. The goal is to identify which senses are most soothing for you and create a “sensory toolkit” tailored to your needs.
