Most people have never felt a stress response finish. They feel it start. Chest tight, heart up, thoughts running. Then they sit on it, distract themselves, and wait for it to fade. It does not finish. It thins out and stays. So run one on purpose. Take something physically hard. Sprint, carry something heavy, hold a hard position until your breathing changes. Push until your body is fully in it. Then stop and do nothing but breathe. Do not check your phone. Do not talk. Wait for the shift. Heart rate drops. Breath goes low. Something in the shoulders lets go. That is what completion feels like. Once you know the feeling, you stop confusing distraction with recovery. You will notice how rarely your day ever gets there.
