Stress Is the Body’s Whisper Before the Shout – Mental Health

Stress begins as a whisper — a tired yawn, a skipped meal, a racing heart. Ignore it long enough, and it turns into a scream. Listening early transforms stress into a guide, reminding you to rest before collapse.

Stress often starts with subtle signals that many overlook. Early recognition prevents escalation into burnout. Creating habits of rest, hydration, mindfulness, and realistic workload helps balance the nervous system. Stress is feedback, not failure — responding early makes resilience possible.
