Stress doesn’t just affect the mind. It affects the body too.
Tight muscles, shallow breathing, headaches, and fatigue are all common physical responses.
When the body is under stress, the nervous system shifts into protection mode, which can keep muscles tense and limit your ability to fully relax.
Supporting your nervous system is an important part of overall wellness. Gentle movement, deep breathing, and therapies like massage can help calm the body and reduce physical tension.
Taking small steps to unwind can make a meaningful difference.
