chronic stress symptoms:

sooooo tired! You wake up feeling not rested, even after a long night of sleep
you have no interest in anything and derive less enjoyment from activities
difficulty concentrating, as if your thoughts constantly wander
quick to anger and easily irritated
increased appetite, a constant feeling of hunger
reduced interest in sexual activities
less desire to socialize with people

not alone

You are definitely not alone in experiencing too much stress for way too long. Research from TNO indicates an increase in too much stress symptoms among young people due to:

societal and work-related performance pressure, as well as social expectations. The constant need to do everything right, always being reachable, (care) responsibilities, and the combination of work and family create a lot of stress.
life uncertainties, including societal concerns such as climate issues, nitrogen, war, COVID-19; financial uncertainties like inflation, high mortgage payments; career and living situations.
the impact of social media on the self-esteem of young people, and the distraction it poses from work.

It’s entirely understandable that it can all become too much.

nature coaching: the path to recovery

The good news is that you can do something about it. Talk about it; it lightens the load. You can also do this with me through a nature coaching trajectory.

What does a nature coach trajectory look like?

first, we will see if there is a “click”; both you and I can decide not to continue with a trajectory;
then, we’ll go for a walk in nature;
there we’ll explore your wish. If you haven’t identified it yet, we will find out during the trajectory;
your wish is the starting point of the trajectory. You’ll do exercises with the help of nature to gain insight into what you can do to make your wish come true so that you regain your balance in life which will improve the quality of your life significantly. I’ll do the guidance. It all unfolds naturally.
