Avoid HIIT at night.
It spikes cortisol when you need it to drop.
Train earlier in the day.
Your body needs time to wind down from intense exercise.
Late workouts = wired brain = poor sleep.

Here's what most people get wrong about stress:
Stress and the stressor and the stress ≠ the same thing.
The stressor = the problem (inbox, bills, boss)
The stress = your body's response (tension, racing heart)
You can't always fix the problem, but you can process the stress.

When you can't sleep:
Don't watch the clock. It fuels anxiety. Flip it around.
If you can't sleep, get up. Do something boring in dim light.
Don't try harder to sleep. You can't force it.
Let your body do what it knows how to do.

On paper your life looks fine. But inside? You feel disconnected, flat, unfulfilled.
Here's a powerful question:
If nobody clapped, nobody watched, and nobody gave you a gold star... Would you still be doing what you're doing?

Burnout lives in the exhaustion phase of stress.
It's not that you're 'broken'. It's that your body never got to complete the cycle.
You're allowed to rest without guilt.
You're allowed to realign.
You're allowed to feel like yourself again.
Recovery is smarter, not tougher.

Overthinking is a habit, not a flaw.
And habits can be unlearned.
Stop trying to control every variable. Stop ruminating and replaying scenarios.
You don't have to fight your mind. Just work with it.

Here's where most people go wrong with overthinking:
They try to think their way out of overthinking.
Which is like trying to tidy your house by throwing everything into one drawer and hoping for the best.
Overthinking isn't solved with more thinking. It's solved with awareness and action.

🌙 Evening wind-down that actually works:
No food 2-3 hours before bed (digestion competes with deep sleep)
Cool your room to 18-20°C (your core temp drops naturally for sleep)
Wind down on purpose: hot shower, journal, stretch, fiction book.
No screens.
Try for a week.

Cortisol blocks melatonin.
No melatonin = no sleep.
No sleep = more stress.

🚨 BREAK IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
Try the 5-5-10 breathing method:
Inhale for 5 seconds
Hold for 5 seconds
Exhale for 10 seconds
Long exhales activate your "rest & digest" nervous system.
Your body doesn't need you to fix everything.
It just needs to know the danger has passed.

Overthinking 'hack' that actually works:
📆 Schedule your worry.
Give yourself 10 minutes a day to obsess all you want. Set a recurring "Worry Time" in your calendar.
Outside of that? It's a no-rumination zone.

Sleep Drive = hunger for sleep (driven by adenosine buildup) Circadian Rhythm = your 24-hour internal clock (driven by light/darkness)
Coffee at 4pm + screens at 11pm = confused brain.

Imagine you see a shark while swimming.
You freak out, swim to shore, collapse in the sand, feel relief.
That's a completed stress cycle.

Wake up at the same time every day (yes, even after rough nights)
Get outside early. Morning sunlight resets your melatonin clock
Cut caffeine by 2pm.

3 things I stopped doing
Pretend I’ll change “someday”
Instead, I got honest about what I was really ready for
Chase goals that weren’t mine
Authentic > impressive
Try to hate myself into change

Connect (hug for 20 seconds, laugh with a friend)
Express (write, sing, scream into a pillow)
Breathe (5-5-10 method)
