The document discusses stress and stress management techniques. It describes how the body responds to stress through increased heart rate, blood pressure, respiration and hormones. When stressed, digestion slows and the body directs energy to the extremities. The document recommends tension releasing exercises and stress management techniques to help the body reset from stress and balance hormones. These include validating one's emotions, acknowledging tension in the body, and practicing self-compassion.
