Why stress shows up in your body
18 min · Stress
Tight shoulders, a racing heart, an upset stomach. We talk about how stress travels through the body, why that is normal, and three small ways to help your body settle.
What you’ll learn
- Body signs of stress are your alarm system working, not a sign that something is wrong with you.
- A slow breath out is one of the fastest ways to tell your body it is safe.
- If body signs last for weeks or affect sleep and work, it is worth talking to a professional.
