The problem isn't that the body can't handle long-term high pressure, but that the brain can't stop.
Many people eat normally, exercise regularly, and take supplements, yet they still remain in the "fight -or- flight" stress mode.
Running this system for an extended period will cause:
- Decreased immunity
- Muscle and Hormonal Imbalance
- Glucose metabolism deteriorates
- Insufficient gastric acid and bile secretion (bloating, acid reflux, poor digestion)
- Slowed peristalsis (constipation)
- Decreased sleep quality
The real destroyer is often not the source of stress, but the brain's recurring worries and unstoppable thoughts .

99% is good, but the brain can't sleep because of the 1% that's bad — that's just how the brain works.
The human brain is naturally adept at "spotting threats".
Therefore, we can easily:
- Thinking about the same thing repeatedly before going to sleep
- Anxiety before the problem even occurs
- Even on vacation, I'm still thinking about work.
Worrying doesn't solve the problem; it only keeps cortisol levels high.
An effective method is not forced relaxation, but rather "distracting attention".
Research has found that:
Cortisol levels significantly decreased in all 39 participants after 45 minutes of artistic creation.
The reason is simple:
Flow allows you to temporarily shift your attention away from worry, thus turning off the stress response .
Activities that can achieve the desired effect are not limited to art; anything that can capture attention will suffice, for example:
- Woodworking, model making, ceramics
- Painting, handicrafts
- Music events
- Birdwatching and photography
- Puzzle, gardening
Its characteristics are: it requires hands-on work, requires focus, and is stress-free.
Why do exercises or meditation sometimes fail to work?
Because you might:
- Continue thinking about the problem while exercising
- Trying too hard to relax during meditation can actually make you more tense.
Conversely, finding a hobby that you can immerse yourself in can naturally reduce stress.

In conclusion: The real way to relieve stress is to shift your focus away from worry.
The persistent stress doesn't mean you're not doing enough; it means your brain is stuck on the same focus.
As long as you find an activity that you can engage in, you can:
- Lower cortisol
- Stabilize emotions
- Improve sleep and digestion
- Boost immunity
This is more effective immediately than any supplement.
