The stress response of “fight or flight” is automatic & triggered by the sympathetic nervous system. When chronic, the stress response can become our default mode.
The relaxation response of “rest and digest” or “tend and befriend” is voluntary & elicited by deep breathing, a hug, exercise, positive visualization (to name a few) through the parasympathetic nervous system.
The more frequently we elicit the relaxation response, the more it becomes our default mode.
