I am living in a constant brace

Jaw tight. Sleep thin. Everything feels urgent. You call it 'just a busy season' for the third year.

Stress is not the workload. It is the gap between the load and the recovery, plus the lies you tell about how long you can run that gap. Your nervous system is not a moral failure. It is untrained and overdrawn.

Protocol · 0 / 3

The standard: One cut. One shutdown hour. Movement that actually happens.

Fired = did it · Misfire = didn't

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God… will guard your hearts and your minds.”

Philippians 4:6–7
