Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I run on autopilot from morning till I crash at night, and if you stopped me midday and asked how I’m feeling I’d genuinely have no idea
- I run on autopilot all day and the stress just quietly stacks up unnoticed until I’m suddenly snapping or fried
- I do the same everyday things
- I feel busy from the moment I wake up to the moment I crash, but if you asked me where the hours actually went I genuinely couldn’t tell you
- By the time I notice I’ve been running on edge all day, it’s already too late
