0% Awakening Quiz 1 / 15 1. How does your mind feel when you wake up? Like a browser with 100 tabs open; I start thinking the second I wake up.

Tension in my neck, shoulders, or jaw. A buzzing feeling; ike I can’t turn off my energy, even when I want to relax. 3 / 15 3. What’s the first thing you do when you feel overwhelmed? Make a to-do list; but then get stuck overthinking. Push through and ignore it; no time to deal with it. Procrastinate; I suddenly find myself scrolling, snacking, or doing something else. Try to breathe and calm down; but it doesn’t always work. 4 / 15 4. If your stress had a voice, what would it say to you? "You’re not doing enough." "You don’t have time to slow down."

What’s your relationship with rest? Rest feels like a waste of time: I have too much to do. Even when I rest, I can’t fully switch off. I don’t allow myself to rest until everything is done (which never happens). I want to rest, but I feel guilty when I do. 7 / 15 7. When was the last time you took a deep breath and truly felt relaxed? I honestly can’t remember. Maybe on vacation, but even then, I was checking my phone.
