Panoramic Vision to Reduce Stress and Anxiety
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?
