Summary Stress is often misunderstood and seen as something to avoid, but it actually indicates that your life has meaning and that you're challenging yourself. Stress is valuable for high performers, but it's important to conquer it rather than just lower it. One way to do this is by improving your heart rate variability (HRV), which measures how your body responds to stress. Another key factor in conquering stress is mindset. By viewing challenges as exciting opportunities, you can release positive hormones that boost performance and help you overcome stress. Taking action and consistently caring for your body also play a crucial role in managing stress.
