@pocket.psychologist: Give me 60 seconds and I’ll tell you why rates of stress are higher than ever. We weren’t built for a life with this much input. Wake up: 37 notifications before you’ve even had a sip of water. Straight to the news, emails, group chats, TikTok … your brain is on fire before breakfast. At work: back-to-back Zoom calls, Slack pings, constant multitasking. No pause, no deep breath, no time to think. Evening comes and instead of rest: doomscrolling, autoplay Netflix, answering “just one more” message. And even when you finally climb into bed tired, there’s that one last scroll that robs your brain of the silence it craves. No wonder anxiety’s up. No wonder everyone feels fried. We weren’t built for constant input. We were built for rhythm, rest, and connection. The reset? ☀️ Start the day with sunlight before screen light 🚶 10,000 steps spread through the day, not crammed into 30 minutes 🍽 Meals eaten slowly, not over your keyboard 💬 One real conversation that isn’t through a screen 🌿 Short moments of stillness .. a walk, a breath, even 60 seconds with no phone 😴 A bedtime routine that tells your brain “we’re safe, we can rest” Your brain isn’t broken. It’s just overloaded. And even the smallest resets are signals of safety. Save this for the next time your brain feels fried 🔥🧠 Share it with someone who needs a reset 🌱✨
