Stress reduction

As an armchair anthropologist, I have found it quite illuminating to observe the wider range of activities that humans are now displaying at home. I find I am gaining a fuller perspective on the species.

Just now I am particularly interested in the range of behaviors that humans engage in in order to reduce stress. They seem to have a huge need for stress reduction while not in fact being all that good at it. 

In recent posts I've mentioned art, nature, and napping. That last one is one we can all relate to. But a new one for me is religion. This is an activity that humans are suddenly doing at home with their screens. It seems to be helpful to some of them, but reports say that this effect is highly variable.

It continues to be something of a mystery to me why stress reduction is both so complicated and so variable among humans. I'll keep you posted as I learn more.
