The Real Reason We Feel Overwhelmed Every Day


Listen Later

Do you wake up feeling already behind? If you constantly feel like "everything is too much" even when there is no immediate crisis, you aren't failing—you are experiencing a specific nervous system response to modern life.
In this video, we explore why you feel overwhelmed without a clear reason and why "trying harder" isn't the solution. We break down the concept of Cognitive Overload (why your brain feels like a computer with too many tabs open) and the ancient threat system that keeps you on high alert.
In this video, you will learn:

- Why waking up feeling "behind" is a biological signal, not a character flaw.
- The difference between being "lazy" and being mentally overloaded.
- How to protect your nervous system from the 3 modern drivers of overwhelm.
- Practical tools: From the "Digital Sunset" to "No-Input Time" to reclaim your calm.
