When you come home after a long and stressful day...
…feel free to plop down on the couch and watch TV. A joint study between UC Santa Barbara and the University of Georgia found people’s stress hormones were slashed after watching their favorite shows. Sure, meditation and yoga can also help stress levels - but unless you’re really into those things, feeling the pressure to do something “healthy” can prevent your stress levels from dropping. So, if you have certain TV shows you’re really into - don’t feel guilty - enjoy! Because getting absorbed in the plot and characters takes your mind off your own stresses and turns your focus outward.
