What stress is
Stress is your body doing its job — preparing you to respond. It only becomes a problem when it never turns off.
Reset in 60 seconds
A short pause is enough to shift your nervous system.
- Unclench your jaw. Drop your shoulders.
- Take three long, slow breaths.
- Name one thing you can control right now.
- Do that one thing — or let the rest wait.
Protect your energy
Small boundaries prevent big burnout. Rest is not laziness — it is maintenance.
