Stop. Catch your breath. Do you feel that? Most likely right up until now, you were chasing something. Success, love, achievement, your social media feed, your to do list, or even your kids. I'm not sure where it happened in the evolution of humanity, but the vast majority of the human race seems to be in that exact frame of mind. A race. We're constantly in a never ending battle with time. Trying to use it wisely. Hoping for more of it. Swearing we don't have enough. In those moments of stress, rushing from one thing to the next in the existential race against time, our body replies. The stress-handling systems get triggered and the body prepares for response. Our digestion slows down. Blood flow goes to the extremities. Adrenaline and cortisol are produced. It's primal as fuck. It's our biological defense. This can happen from the subtle stress of information overload, someone cutting you off in traffic, an argument with your partner, getting caught in comparison, or an unexpected change of plans that sends you spinning into anger, blame, and pointing the finger. Often times, months or years go by before we ever notice that something's wrong, or that a change is needed. We're simply just too busy.
