Stress wounds

Stress is a self inflicted wound that starts with the prick, jab, or slice of life events that assail us every day.

But the long term consequence, of any challenge that gets inside us, is welter, fester, and sepsis.

But the quiet cadence of the gently rocking boat drains away the stress like cleansing a wound that has been untended too long.

And it is also the lack of a to do list that unknots your stomach and evens your breath. This is what I mean by "self inflicted" …

We put unreasonable demands on ourselves that create the stress responses in our bodies, which are the very things that make it harder to get your to-do list done in the first place!
