1️⃣ Guided Visualisation and mediation these mimic REM sleep calming and soothing the brain. Guided meditation teaches you how to exercise the Amygdala as you continue with it you will discover that your responses become less reactive. Rather than responding with heightened emotions (amygdala overload), you can start calling on reason and logic.

2️⃣ Exercise - The immediate effects you feel are the result of endorphins in your brain. (These chemicals in our brains cause feelings of euphoria in the short term.) But the long-term benefits of improved mood come from physiological changes in the outer layer of your brain, the cerebral cortex. This is because your brain is undergoing significant molecular and structural alterations as a result of your exercise routine. These neurobiological developments signal the newest frontier for treating depression, anxiety, and stress.

3️⃣ Deep breathing - Slow breathing leads to “hyperpolarization,” which literally makes neurons less excitable slowing down, taking deep breaths, and refocusing your thoughts. These steps allow your brain's frontal lobes to take over for the irrational amygdala. When this happens, you have control over your responses.
