Stress isn’t just in your mind — your body feels it too. 💭➡️ Elevated cortisol (your stress hormone) can impact sleep, mood, weight, skin health, and even your immune system.
Here are 8 everyday habits that may be quietly raising your stress levels:
☕ Too much coffee (especially on an empty stomach)
🍳 Skipping breakfast
📱 Scrolling first thing in the morning
🏋️ Over-exercising
🧺 Living in constant clutter
💬 Bottling up emotions
✅ Striving for perfection
🎢 Forgetting to make time for fun
The good news? Small changes can create a big difference. Eating a balanced breakfast, giving yourself screen-free mornings, practicing gentle movement, and allowing yourself joy throughout the day can calm your nervous system and lower cortisol.
✨ Remember: when you support your stress levels, you’re also supporting your skin, immune system, and overall wellness.
