STRESS CAN BECOME SO NORMAL THAT YOU STOP NOTICING IT

You can get used to almost anything.

The tight shoulders, the racing mind, waking up in the middle of the night thinking about work, eating lunch while answering emails and feeling irritated every time someone interrupts you can eventually start feeling like an ordinary Tuesday.

When you've lived that way for long enough, calm can actually feel unfamiliar.

You finally get a quiet afternoon and don't know what to do with yourself. You reach for your phone, start thinking about work or find a problem to solve.

Your body has learned a rhythm, and it takes time to learn another one.

Imagine being able to move through a stressful meeting and actually leave it behind when it's over. Imagine coming home and feeling your body settle instead of carrying the day into the evening.

Imagine quiet feeling good again.

That's a very different way to experience the life you've built.
