If I asked you to handle a crisis at work right now, you could do it. You would mobilize the team, execute the strategy, and put out the fire.

You are excellent at surviving. But you have forgotten how to live.

The problem isn’t that you can’t handle the pressure. The problem is that your nervous system has become addicted to it.

You have spent years training your body that "Urgency = Safety." Now, when things are calm, you feel anxious. You check your email at 11 PM not because you have to, but because your body is craving the dopamine hit of being "needed."

This isn’t a personality trait. It’s a physiological loop. And it is burning you out from the inside.
