The sensations of stress

Are these sensations of stress?
Feeling that pins of numbness
Are striking the chest and abdomen

The throat feels tight
The hands are clenched
Breathe gets shallow
And an uneasy feeling

And while playing music helps
I am now too physically tired
And mentally exhausted to even practise

Would things get better?
I certainly hope so.

yes, those seem like signs of stress. what are you working on that is unfamiliar to you, that makes you stressed?

Misti: Practising can help relieve the stress leh...anyway, I slept in the end.

SA: Yup.

M: I would like some breaks.

JY: Yah. Too much workload.... Actually I can get by without doing top quality work, but really, if something is to be done, it is worth doing it good enough.

Practising actually relieves stress....
