Stress
When the load is bigger than the resource and the body runs on mobilisation.
How it usually shows up
- Clenched jaw and shoulders
- Rushing even with small things
- Hard to switch off and rest
What is happening
Stress itself is not the enemy: it is energy for action. The trouble begins when mobilisation is never followed by recovery and the body lives in “just a bit more and I will rest”.
Under stress, discharge matters more than motivation: breathing, movement and conscious pauses between tasks.
Three first steps right now
- Stand up and shake out your arms and legs for 30–60 seconds.
- Three minutes of even 5–5 breathing.
- Remove one item from today's list.
