Because we are all feeling this.
I mean, stress isn't the exception anymore.
It's the rule, the data that I shared.
And so that's how your brain works when you're thinking about stress and resilience.
And, you know, now to answer your question, it really depends, you know, the way when you are a child and the way you experience stress because your prefrontal cortex is still taking shape, you have certain response, you know, like when you think of, I don't know if you have young children yourself, but you have certainly been around young children, we all have, and you see their stress response, right?
Tantrums and
anger and really like a full expression.
And as you get older, you are socialized to change that stress response in the same way.
So, you know, that internal biochemical cascade is the same.
It's the external manifestation, how you present.
And so unfortunately, so many of us, regardless of age, gender,
where you live, what job you have.
We are seeing some real, there's a sense of universality when it comes to stress, burnout and mental health issues right now, precisely because we are not, you know, your brain, the human brain is expertly designed to handle short bursts of stress, but we are not meant for this chronic ongoing onslaught that we've been experiencing for the past several years.
Oh, what a beautiful question, Joanna.
It really depends on a case-by-case basis.
So think about, you know, you might have a particular canary that you have been noticing in yourself or maybe a loved one.
For me, that canary in the coal mine was the palpitations, the stampede of wild horses across my chest that really, you know, got my attention.
But now, because I have a handle on my stress because I actually walk the talk and practice the five resets and have for over 25 years, now my tell or my canary is when I am irritable and my husband will often say like, it's time to really double down on those five resets when he sees me like, you know, being snappy or snippy because that's my tell.
And really the signs and symptoms are very individualized and that is what makes stress so difficult to identify in yourself,
and others, there is also a new kind of burnout.
