Coasting on Cortisol

14 min

Stress can keep moving long after the pressure has passed, leaving the body braced for a meeting that ended hours ago. A quiet burnout practice follows that leftover cortisol gently, using ordinary sounds, surfaces and breath as evidence that no emergency is here. Nothing has to switch off; the system is simply allowed to notice it can slow.
