Tunnel vision keeps you grinding harder instead of smarter, trapping you in familiar but ineffective methods. Chronic stress floods your body with adrenaline and cortisol, suppressing immunity and triggering digestive problems. Breaking the cycle means shifting from fight mode to an executive state where you can actually think.

Like, why don't you do it this better way? They're like, no, I'm, I'm just used to doing it the way I do it. They're in their tunnel vision. When we get into our executive state, if you ever hear that saying, work smarter, not harder, you develop the ability to work smarter. 'Cause otherwise when you're in your fight mode, you're just working harder all the time. It's a recipe for burnout.
Is, is, you know, you mentioned about, you know, having digestion issues, you have other, you know, your adrenaline spiking. Is that the cortisol kind of also spiking in your body?
You're maintaining high cortisol. Ask anyone, any medical professional, What does high level of steroid long-term exposure do to your body? It kills your immune system. You get sick.
