One of the biggest lessons we can learn from anxiety is to change the things we can. Today we have 4 changes you can make to reduce your stress hormone cortisol! Episode Quote: Somehow, in our modern civilization, we have acquired the idea that the mind is working best when it runs at top speed. Yet a racing mind lacks time even to finish a thought, let alone to check on its quality. When we slow down the mind, we work better at everything we do.
