Stress and anxiety feel almost identical in your body, but they work differently, and knowing which one you've got changes what helps. Here's the shortcut: stress is a sprint. There's a clear reason, a test, being late, a big game. It starts, it spikes, and when the thing is over, it mostly stops. Anxiety is a shadow. It hangs around without a clear reason, follows you into rooms where nothing is wrong, and turns up at 2am uninvited. Tap through the pairs and see how they line up.
Stress and anxiety can feel kind of the same in your body, but they aren't exactly the same.
