Inside you, right now
In your body
Shallow breath. Shoulders up. A buzzing flat feeling behind the eyes.
The likely chemistry
Cortisol stays elevated, dopamine reward feels diluted across many demands.
Nervous system
Sustained sympathetic load — the brake is tired.
The pull you might feel
Freeze, multitask harder, abandon everything.
A move that often helps
Shrink the scope. One next action. Nothing else exists for ten minutes.
Pick one — small is fine
How does it sit in your body now?
