Maybe it was my prior strategies that were ineffective, despite being oft-repeated as "the way to change" in countless books.

This physiological reaction prepares us to confront danger but can become problematic when activated too frequently or for prolonged periods. Understanding this biological mechanism is crucial for adults navigating the complexities of modern work and life. By recognizing the signs of stress, individuals can take proactive steps to manage their responses effectively.
