🌿 Understanding Modern Stress

In today’s fast-paced world, stress has become a constant companion, not just from emergencies or significant life changes, but from the steady buzz of modern living. Deadlines, digital overload, financial pressures, family demands, and even social expectations all contribute to a constant background hum that keeps the body’s “fight or flight” system on high alert.

Over time, this persistent stress can affect nearly every system in the body, including muscle tension, elevated blood pressure, disrupted sleep, slowed digestion, and impaired concentration.

Recognising how stress shows up in daily life is the first step toward managing it and reclaiming calm, focus, and wellbeing. Download your free PDF Re-Imagining Stress
