Did you know that adjusting your vision can help reduce stress and anxiety?
When you focus intently on one point (tunnel vision), your body shifts into fight-or-flight mode. But when you soften your gaze and expand your visual field—without moving your head—you engage panoramic vision. This activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping to calm the body.
I first came across this idea from Dr Andrew Huberman (short video link in the comments), and it’s fascinating.
Why not give it a try and see how it feels?
