💚Break the Stress Cycle💚
Stress affects your mind and body, but understanding the cycle is the first step to breaking it.
💡 Fun Fact:
When stressed, your body releases hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, triggering a fight-or-flight response.
If prolonged, this can affect sleep, digestion, immunity, and mood.
🔎 The Stress Cycle:
⚡ Trigger – A situation, thought, or event sparks stress.
💓 Physiological Response – Heart rate rises, muscles tense, breathing quickens.
🌀 Emotional Reaction – Anxiety, irritability, or frustration emerges.
🔄 Behavioral Response – Overeating, withdrawal, or snapping at others.
⚠️ Cycle Continues – If not managed, stress becomes chronic, affecting health.
✅ How to Break the Cycle:
🧘 Mindful Breathing – Slow, deep breaths calm the nervous system.
🏃 Movement – Walking, Tai Chi, or stretching releases tension.
📝 Pause & Reflect – Identify triggers and emotional reactions.
💬 Connect – Talk to someone you trust; sharing helps reduce stress.
🌱 Positive Ending Note:
Recognize your stress triggers and responses.
With awareness and small daily practices, you can break the cycle, restore calm, and reclaim your energy💚
