the idea that manageable doses of potentially harmful stressors are good for us.
It's crucial to rest thereafter.
This is pretty much my approach as well, and it's worked sooo well for me. I would add breathing to the list. Buteyko (CO2 tolerance training) or Wim Hof (hyperventilation) methods are currently my favourites.

Interesting. I've heard of that sort of thing, but I've never really gotten into breathing exercises. I do make a point of taking fairly deep slow breaths normally, because I read that was better at some point.

There are many schools of thought on breathing. I believe they all have benefits, when practised regularly.
I personally like the Buteyko approach because of the nerve relaxing effects of CO2 (beside the proven health benefits).
In general, I find the whole subject fascinating, especially because science has caught up, and made the subject more digestible and more adapted to our modern times.
