When you feel overwhelmed, your nervous system goes into survival mode.
It floods with stress hormones that tell you to keep going, fix it, do something.
Stopping feels unsafe... almost like failure or collapse.
So you push. Not consciously, but instinctively. Because somewhere inside, it still doesn’t feel safe to stop.
Take little pauses through the day...to breathe, stretch, or simply be. And meditate regularly.
Meditation teaches the body that stillness is safe again.
It reconnects you to calm, reminding the nervous system that rest isn’t danger... it’s recovery.
Stopping isn’t failure.
It’s where healing begins.
