Here’s how I lowered my cortisol: - Got morning sunshine for a few minutes. - Ate a high-protein breakfast within 2 hours of waking. - Avoided phone use for the first 30-60 minutes after waking. - Included more healthy fats like salmon, avocado, and olive oil in my diet. - Spent time with friends and focused on laughing more. - Practiced grounding by walking barefoot on sand or grass. - Engaged in phone-free activities like biking, tennis, and art.
