Inside you, right now
In your body
Breathing shallow. Chest tight. Stomach unsettled. Hands cool. Heart faster than the moment requires.
The likely chemistry
Adrenaline and cortisol are likely elevated. GABA — your calming brake — may feel quiet.
Nervous system
Sympathetic activation — your threat system is online.
The pull you might feel
Check, refresh, ruminate, control, escape.
A move that often helps
Lower the volume in your body before you trust any thought.
Pick one — small is fine
