Unlearn old habits. Form better ones.
Too often, we move through life without understanding our actions, believing ourselves to be powerless to change. But the truth is, you’re capable of shifting your behavior — all you need are the right tools and practices to help you build awareness of what’s happening in your head. Unwinding by Sharecare offers a science-based approach for getting to know yourself better so you can live life to the fullest.
The science
Research shows prolonged, unmanaged stress can have long-term effects on individuals including greater risk for heart disease, increased blood pressure, and immune system suppression. Without healthy coping strategies for stressful situations, the likelihood of adopting poor lifestyle habits such as smoking, medication nonadherence, and physical inactivity also may increase, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, a growing body of evidence, including 2020 and 2021 studies published in JMIR mHealth, shows programs like Unwinding by Sharecare that leverage meditation and mindfulness techniques can help relieve physiological stress and anxiety.
