What to do with overstimulation?

When do you suffer from an overstimulated brain? When you cross your own limits more often, you are more likely to suffer from an overstimulated brain. When you are under a lot of pressure you can suffer from an overstimulated brain. When you are highly sensitive, also called hsp, you also often suffer from an overstimulated brain.

How does an overstimulated brain arise

An overstimulated brain arises because you continuously ignore the signals from your brain and push yourself to the limit. For example, when you are more tired, but still give in to that one social party. You may be even more tired the next day because you are constantly pushing your own limits. This ensures that you end up in a downward spiral. In some cases, depression develops. An overstimulated brain actually says that you have ignored all signals that cause complaints.

Sensitivity

When you are more sensitive to energy from others, your brain can become overstimulated. You notice this, for example, in fatigue, intense emotions, and irritation over small matters. For example, in relationships you often see that highly sensitive people take over energy, which makes them feel less energetic. This is often a repeating pattern. A correct way of energy cleansing or even distancing is therefore extremely important. For example, if you work with colleagues who have an energetically negative attitude to life, it may be wise to change jobs. As this is not going to change any time soon as this is beyond your control.
