Did you know that anxiety disorders affect 40 million adults in the United States – that’s 1 in 5 people? And our children aren’t immune—nearly 1 in 7 children ages 3-17 experience anxiety disorders. Since 2020, these numbers have climbed dramatically as our world changes faster in three months than it used to in ten years.
Here are eight signals your nervous system is overwhelmed (put a check if that is a signal for you):
☐ You feel “wired but tired”—exhausted but can’t truly rest
☐ Your mind races even when trying to sleep
☐ Small things set you off in surprising ways
☐ You struggle with focus and brain fog
☐ Your body holds tension in your neck, shoulders, or gut
☐ Decision overwhelm
☐ Poor focus and concentrations
☐ Increased pain
When your brain no longer feels safe, it enters fight-or-flight mode. This stress response impacts inflammation, digestion, blood pressure, heart rate, immune function, hormone balance, fertility, mental clarity, and sleep. Stress is a silent killer—and it’s wiping out your ability to experience peace, clarity, and optimal health.
The Good News? You Can Take Back Control!

It is easy, and it costs you nothing but a few moments.
