The Impact of Overwhelm on Mental and Physical Health
Overwhelm can have detrimental effects on both mental and physical health. A study from 1991 revealed that individuals experiencing high levels of stress and overwhelm were at a greater risk of developing heart disease and mental health problems. The constant demands and busyness of modern life contribute to this overwhelming feeling. Our brains and bodies are not wired to handle the constant stimulation and multitasking that comes with technology and modern living. Overwhelm is the body's way of saying, 'Slow down, take a break.' However, many people have trained themselves to keep going and struggle with pausing and allowing themselves rest. Overwhelm mostly stems from excessive thinking and planning about all the tasks and responsibilities, rather than the actual workload. It's crucial to prioritize tasks, practice time management, and master decision-making to alleviate overwhelm.
