Practice Meditation

No matter what the cause of the stress, its physical expression is the same. Harvard Physiologist Walter Cannon discovered 90 years ago that when we are stressed, our blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and breathing rate increases, so does the flow of cortisol, adrenaline, and noradrenaline in our body. Together, these physiological effects are called the stress response or the fight or flight response.

In 1967, Dr. Herbert Bension, also from Harvard, found the effect of meditation in our body is exactly the opposite. When we meditate, our blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension and breathing rate, cortisol and adrenaline secretion, all go down. Our parasympathetic nervous system becomes active and the flow of serotonin, a neuro transmitter than creates a feeling of well-being, increases.

So if you meditate regularly, your body will change in a way so that it gets less and less stressed no matter what the circumstance. You will be able to deal with all situations calmly.
