As we head into the festive season, many of us start to feel the quiet build-up of pressure, the endless âbefore the end of the yearâ to-do lists, social plans, deadlines, expectations, and noise.
When our nervous system stays in that constant state of doing, the body begins to adapt. It produces more stress hormones.â¨
Sleep becomes lighter.â¨Digestion slows.â¨Inflammation can rise.â¨
Did you know?â¨Chronic overwhelm isnât just âin your headâ, itâs a full-body experience whether we want to believe it or not.
â¨Research shows that ongoing stress impacts our immunity, hormones, gut health, and energy levels.
This is why behaviour-based wellbeing approaches matter so much. When we start noticing how our patterns â the rushing, the saying yes to everything, the pushing through â show up in our body, we can finally create change that lasts.
Youâre allowed to soften your schedule.â¨Youâre allowed to rest without guilt.â¨Youâre allowed to choose calm over chaos.
This season, give yourself permission to protect your energy, because how you feel is not separate from how your body functions.
