How We Escalate Stress

The stress cycle often escalates due to our tendency to magnify stress without realizing it. When faced with stress, we tend to think negatively, experience physical tension, and hyper-focus on our body's response, leading to emotion-driven actions or avoidance. This cycle of negative thinking and physical discomfort can result in procrastination, distraction, and unhealthy coping mechanisms like excessive breaks or snacking. Recognizing this pattern allows us to break the cycle at each stage, making it easier for ourselves.
