The expert gave advice on dealing with chronic stress

Yulia Kulminskaya, the creator of the natural cosmetics brand, said that chronic stress is associated not only with the number of tasks, but also with the loss of contact with the body: a person stops noticing fatigue signals, which eventually leads to anxiety and sleep problems.

In conversation with the agency RuNews24.Ru On Monday, April 13, she noted that in conditions of constant information load, the usual digital tools do not always have a lasting effect, so more and more attention is being paid to bodily practices.

The expert explained that breathing remains one of the easiest ways to recover: a slow rhythm with prolonged exhalation helps to reduce tension and switch the body from stress mode to rest. Tactile sensations also play an important role — warm water, touch, and body care bring attention back to your own feelings and help to stabilize your condition.

She added that more and more people are returning to household rituals, especially water practices. Baths with salt and herbs, she says, have a gentle effect on the body, help reduce the feeling of heaviness and tension, and create a sense of security. Kulminskaya emphasized that regularity is of key importance: it is simple repetitive actions that form a stable state, reduce anxiety levels and help to cope with stress more easily.
