Stress Modulation Framework
Regulate stress in real-time
The Stress Modulation Framework is a set of tools and techniques that can be used to regulate stress in real-time. This framework is based on the idea that individuals can learn to modulate their stress response through physiological and psychological techniques. By using this framework, individuals can improve their ability to manage stress and improve their overall well-being.
- Increase the vigor and duration of inhales to increase alertness
- Increase the duration of exhales to increase calmness
- Use physiological techniques to regulate stress in real-time
