Recovery: Managing Stress Like an Athlete

Stress isn’t just mental — it’s physiological.
If you don’t manage it, stress will wreck your recovery, hormones, strength gains, and mental focus.

✅ Signs of Poor Stress Management:

• Slower recovery between workouts

• Poor sleep quality

• Cravings and overeating

• Plateauing strength and performance

• Low motivation

✅ Simple Stress Management Tools:

• Daily movement: Walking, stretching, light activity

• Breathwork/meditation: 5 minutes of slow, nasal breathing per day lowers cortisol

• Journaling or reflection: Brain-dump stress before bed

• Balanced training: Avoid constant max effort workouts

🚫 Common Stress Mistakes:

• 🚫 Believing "more training" fixes stress

• 🚫 Ignoring mental stress and only focusing on physical recovery
