Highlights

•	The behavioral, cognitive and emotional responses to stress based on neurobiological mechanisms need to be better understood.
•	The psychological stress response postulates that the subject adapts better if coping strategies are flexible.
•	The practice of mindfulness can enhance flexibility in the coping response, leading to a resilient stress response.

Abstract

Objectives

The stress reaction is an integrated response to a change in the environment that enables each individual to adapt to demand. While this response is physiologically coordinated by the brain, its phenomenology is expressed in the field of psychology and psychopathology. This interrelation between neurophysiological mechanisms and psychological processes is complex as dynamic interpersonal, biological, and psychocognitive systems interact with contextual and environmental factors to shape adaptation over the life constraints.

Method

This article aims to present the actors of the adjusted stress response, such as coping and coping flexibility, mindfulness and resilience, and their respective neurophysiology.

Results

A model of the relationship between resilience, mindfulness and coping was proposed for optimizing adaptation to stress response.

Discussion

These focuses are prerequisites for understanding and supporting human adaptation in the everyday environment and promoting efficient management of stress for mental and physical health.
