Overstimulation is one of the biggest nightmares dysregulating our nervous systems.
When our nervous system is dysregulated:
▪️we can’t manage emotions
▪️we can’t set our boundaries
▪️we can’t say no to addictions
▪️we can’t sleep
▪️we can’t stop the spiral of overthinking
▪️we develop somatic problems.
We easily fall into the following traps:
TRAP NO. 1 – sources of overstimulation are everywhere. It’s easily accessible, usually within one click of a button.
TRAP NO. 2 – things that make us overstimulated feel extremely rewarding. Otherwise we would not do it. It’s hard to resist.
TRAP NO. 3 – we are always hungry for more. Like this 15 minutes on TikTok that turned into 2 hours.
Make conscious efforts to choose regulation, it’s for your own good 🤍
