Are you stressed — or heading for burnout?
Under Pressure
Stress is building — a good moment to intervene.
Your responses suggest a meaningful stress load that's beginning to show — in how you feel, focus, and recover. This is exactly the stage where intervening pays off most, before pressure hardens into burnout. Chronic stress keeps cortisol elevated and the nervous system stuck in 'go' mode, which is why sleep, mood, and concentration are usually the first things to slip. The most effective approach is twofold: build genuine daily decompression (breathwork, walks, a real wind-down that isn't a screen) and use adaptogenic herbs traditionally used to steady the stress response and support the body's resilience. Protecting sleep is non-negotiable here — it's both the first casualty of stress and one of your strongest tools against it.
Where to focus
- Build daily decompression — breathwork, walks, or a wind-down ritual.
- Adaptogenic herbs traditionally used to steady the stress response.
- Protect sleep, which stress erodes first and fastest.
