How stressed are you? Is it too much already?

Stress is scary, 😱 but what should be more scared is "stressed and unaware, so let too much stress become chronic."

💭 A frequent stress sign. ❗️

• Headache, shoulder pain, easier to get tired than usual

• Hard sleep, frequent awakening, or not full sleep

• Heartbeat, breathless, or cold hands, sweating

• Irritability and mood swings

• Thinking around, ADHD, making difficult decisions

• Don't want to socialize or be quiet.

• Eat more than usual or eat less

• Mistakes are easy to forget often

But if you're not sure what level of stress you're in, 🚨 let's do a stress assessment. 📝

🆘 If the body and mind start raising alarms, it's time to "rest, rest" 🧘🏻‍♀️💗 before it's too late for chronic stress.
