I have chronic stress and anxiety, how do I find relief?

Here’s where you could start to support relief from chronic stress and anxiety by working with your body and mind together.

Stress and anxiety are not just mental states—they deeply affect your body, especially your nervous system. Over time, chronic stress can lead to physical tension, poor breathing patterns, and even a sense of disconnection from your body.

The mindful fitness and healing practices shared inside Movement+ are designed to help you reconnect with your body, calm your nervous system, and develop resilience in the face of life’s challenges.

These practices are not quick fixes. They offer a path to deep, lasting change by helping you regulate your nervous system and build a healthier relationship with yourself. By consistently practicing in moderation over time, you’ll likely notice more groundedness, clarity, and a greater capacity to handle stress.

This will require your willingness to approach things differently, an open mind, and consistency over at least a few months. Without these key elements, no practice will bring lasting results.

With that in mind, check out these core courses designed to support you in finding relief from stress and anxiety:

Core 3 Courses for Stress and Anxiety Relief

1. Ground Presence (Body-Mind Connectors – Connect Pathway)
   Stress often causes your mind to race and disconnect from your body. This course helps you ground into the present moment and reconnect with your body, creating a foundation for calm and stability.

2. Embody Safety (Somatic Regulators – Connect Pathway)
   Chronic stress keeps your nervous system in a heightened state of alertness. This course helps you cultivate a sense of safety within your body, shifting your nervous system from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest mode.

3. Balance Breath (Breath Balancers – Breathe Pathway)
   Anxiety disrupts your breathing patterns, which directly affects your nervous system. This course teaches you to balance your breath, calm your mind, and regulate your body through conscious breathing techniques.

Why This Approach Works

Stress and anxiety are signals that your nervous system is overwhelmed. By grounding yourself, balancing your breath, and embodying safety, you’re addressing the root causes, rather than just managing symptoms. This approach can lead to more sustainable relief and a greater sense of well-being.

Start where you feel most drawn, and practice consistently over the coming weeks. If you have any questions or need personalized guidance, reach out to our holistic movement coaches inside Movement+—we’re here to support you.
