Stress is not a weakness. It is usually something carried alone for too long.
Targets, long hours, and a job that follows you home.
Rotating shifts, broken sleep, and never quite catching up.
Lying awake going over the same thoughts.
Thinking through every way something could go wrong.
Snapping at people you care about, and feeling bad after.
Tired all the time, even after a day off.
Responsibilities at home with nobody to share them.
Headaches, a tight chest or a racing heart when the pressure is on.

Free calming tool
When the mind is racing, slow breathing tells the body it is safe. Follow the circle: breathe in as it grows, hold, and breathe out slowly as it shrinks. Six rounds, about a minute and a half.
A calming exercise, not medical care. If you often feel breathless or your chest feels tight, see a doctor.

Marakkanam is a coastal town in the north of Viluppuram district, on the East Coast Road between Chennai and Puducherry. Its salt pans are among the oldest on this coast.
Salt and fishing are hard work that depends on the weather, and a bad season lands on a whole family at once. Many young people here are weighing a job in the city against staying close to home.
What is causing the pressure, and which parts you can change.
How stress shows up for you: in thoughts, sleep, temper or the body.
Breathing, planning, boundaries and ways to switch off.
Trying them in daily life, and adjusting at the next session.
