In this NPR Life Kit podcast episode, the focus is on stress resets—simple techniques to help manage stress in our minds, bodies, and behaviors. The episode presents advice divided into three main categories: for the mind, it suggests practices like identifying emotions, singing away negative thoughts, and creating a life pie chart; for the body, it recommends quick exercise bursts, broadening your visual focus, and cyclic sighing; and for behavior, it encourages assembling a "hope kit," doing a good deed, and taking small, actionable steps forward. A clinical psychologist featured in the episode explains how these techniques work both physically and mentally. Listeners walk away with practical, easy-to-apply strategies to tackle stress and enhance their overall well-being.
