Stress & Burnout

Most burnout advice focuses on the mind: think differently, set better boundaries, practice gratitude, take a break. This advice isn't wrong, but it's incomplete. Burnout is a physiological state. Chronic stress dysregulates the nervous system, disrupts the HPA axis (the body's stress hormone system), depletes neurotransmitters, and creates patterns of physical tension and hypervigilance that don't resolve through thinking or resting alone.

Qigong is one of the most effective tools I know for managing chronic stress, restoring energy, and supporting the nervous system. And unlike many wellness practices, it requires no fitness level, no flexibility, no special equipment, and very little time.
