U.S. Department of Homeland Security Exposes a New Kind of Stress: The 'Digital Border Anxiety' Epidemic
Life Coach Tip: Your brain can't tell the difference between a real threat and a digital one. With the U.S. Department of Homeland Security ramping up cyber vigilance and AI surveillance, many are reporting a spike in baseline cortisol—the "always on guard" feeling. To reclaim your peace, set a daily 'digital curfew' where you physically disconnect from all screens for 20 minutes. This takes your mind off the virtual border patrol and reminds your nervous system that you are safe in your own physical space.
