The Invisible Load

Book excerpt: It¿s common today to hear people talk about how they feel overwhelmed. There are also plenty who put on a brave face, when behind closed doors it¿s a different story. Where is this stress coming from? Is it really our tasks, duties and responsibilities¿or is it something deeper? And why are stress levels continuing to rise? The answer: our invisible loads. Our invisible load is the stress we carry, that no one sees, that drives how we think and feel. From the physical load on our body, to the emotional load in our mind, this invisible load is what really sits at the heart of our stress. And until we learn to unpack this, reducing our experience of stress will be almost impossible.
