Don’t freak out, but it’s ‘stress week’ at The Napkin Dad Daily
‘What’s below’ means what is happening in your body and your mind that isn’t obvious. You feel stress the same way you can feel an ankle sprain. But there are also elements of stress you can’t feel. Your stressed body is weakened, easier to get sick. Your stressed mind is cognitively vulnerable and it is easy to lose track of what is important.
Really think through what is essential in the here and now. Let the rest go. You will either come back to it when it is a better time, or it will pass and prove to have not been that important in the first place.
