Anticipate your return<\/h4><p>Schedule your return with a day or two to spare before returning to work. This time is key to readjust emotionally and physically.<\/p><h4>2. Activate your body without pressure<\/h4><p>Getting back to exercise after the holidays should not become an obligation. Walking 30 minutes a day already activates your cardiovascular system and reduces stress.<\/p><h4>3. Breathe with awareness<\/h4><p>Deep, conscious breathing activates the vagus nerve, which helps relax the heart and slows the heart rate. Take breathing breaks during your day.<\/p><h4>4. Connect with your priorities<\/h4><p>Stress often comes from feeling that \"everything is urgent\". Prioritise tasks, delegate what you can and find time for activities you enjoy. Your wellbeing is a priority.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a8e8ec8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a8e8ec8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">INSCOR: your ally in cardiovascular health in Barcelona<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f2d307 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5f2d307\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>At INSCOR Instituto Salud Cardiovascular, located in the heart of Barcelona, we combine advanced technology and a human approach to take care of you.<br \/>Dr. Guillermo Oller, a cardiologist in Barcelona with extensive experience, leads a team committed to the prevention, diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of heart disease.<\/p><p>Listening to your body and managing stress consciously can make a difference.
