Chronic stress can disrupt almost all of your body's processes. It's been shown to increase the risk of numerous health problems including heart disease, sleep issues, digestive complications, fatigue, depression, anxiety and obesity. Daniel Goleman, Harvard-trained psychologist and author of Emotional Intelligence, developed Relax, a 45-minute audio program to help listeners effectively and naturally reduce stress. Since there's no one universal antidote to stress relief, Dr. Goleman's guided session offers several exercises to suit a variety of personal preferences including deep breathing exercises, deep muscle relaxation techniques, guided auto suggestion exercises, relaxation countdown, breath focus and tension release techniques, and breath count exercises.
