Inside you, right now
In your body
Shoulders up. Jaw tight. Breath in the upper chest.
The likely chemistry
Sustained cortisol and adrenaline; dopamine chasing the next ticked box.
Nervous system
Sympathetic dominant; rest brake under-used.
The pull you might feel
Push harder, skip lunch, answer one more email.
A move that often helps
Break the chain for 3 minutes — stand up, step away from the screen, drink water.
Pick one — small is fine
Anything shift since you opened this?
