Problem stress

• Stress and being worn down narrows our focus.

• We often feel ‘off balance’, ‘thrown’, ‘beside ourselves’, ‘not in a good space’, ‘run over by a truck’, ‘worn out’

• It depletes, constricts, tightens, defending position and ‘our world comes in’, often feeling crowded by, or caught up in, or weighed down, by the pressures
