Stress can feel overwhelming when you’re in the thick of it but there are sensory strategies we can all adopt to help mitigate its effects
None of us are strangers to stress, whether it’s thanks to an overflowing inbox, looming deadlines or a busier than ever social schedule. Whatever the cause, stress, and particularly work-related stress, is a pervasive and persistent issue – the latter is estimated to have cost the UK economy around £28 billion last year. And although it can feel overwhelming and impossible to navigate when you’re in the thick of it, there are strategies we can all adopt to help mitigate its effects.
When this happens, physiological changes to our eyes – and our nervous system – take place to allow us to deal with the threat at hand: as well as our eyeballs rotating inwards, our breathing becomes more rapid and our heart rate increases. To immediately reduce the feelings of anxiety associated with these changes, we can actively choose to engage in panoramic vision, increasing our field of vision to allow our brains to take in more of the visual stimuli around us.
