However, this is not an indicator of danger, but a reflection of your emotional state trying to thrive under pressure.
The Human Context (The "Ghost")
Like many who experience a heavy burden while aiming to embody kindness in all actions, you may find yourself overwhelmed, similar to stories shared by mindfulness students striving to help others.
Is it normal to feel stressed about being kind all the time?
Absolutely. That specific tightening or racing thought is your body attempting to balance external expectations with internal needs for self-care and compassion.
