\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

In today’s world, it is increasingly common to feel saturated, without the ability to go deeper.\u00a0We immerse ourselves in nothing, we feel superficial due to the large amount of information and stimuli\u00a0<\/span>that we constantly receive<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

This information overload leads to a feeling of “head clutter” or internal disorder.\u00a0This adds up to a large number of tasks to do, many options to consider, and (digital) overstimulation that generally increases at uncontrollable rates.<\/span><\/p>\n

This saturation can make us feel unable to process or select important information.\u00a0This has been shown to\u00a0<\/span>negatively affect<\/span><\/a>\u00a0mental health, our relationships, and emotional well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n

Different answers<\/strong><\/h4>\n

To manage information effectively, it is essential to take into account our way of being.\u00a0That is, individual personality differences.\u00a0Our decision making, tolerance to varied stimuli, anxiety management, and priority setting are all affected by personality.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, the personality trait “anxiety” can make one easily overwhelmed by excessive information.\u00a0This causes high stress levels and hampers decision-making skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, perfectionists may struggle with the urge to analyze every aspect of every detail presented, causing even more mental saturation.\u00a0There are also people who have a greater ability to\u00a0<\/span>tolerate ambiguity<\/span><\/a>\u00a0or who are more relaxed and may be\u00a0<\/span>more adept<\/span><\/a>\u00a0at managing information overload.<\/span><\/p>\n

A negative effect<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Regardless of how each of us is, continually exposing ourselves to stressful situations has a negative impact on us.\u00a0These demanding situations affect our ability to think, feel, feel, and process the information around us.<\/span><\/p>\n

This causes difficulty concentrating and the need for more stimuli, as if it were a drug.\u00a0The ability to concentrate is crucial for making sound decisions and successfully completing tasks.\u00a0Mental saturation affects this ability, as it makes us feel constantly distracted and\u00a0<\/span>unable to focus on a single task<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rejection, failure, and stressful situations also influence how people deal with situations.\u00a0This creates a feeling of pressure that can lead to an even greater increase in anxiety and stress levels, especially in people with a\u00a0<\/span>pre-existing mental disorder<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

What can we do?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The good news is that we can act and reverse this uncontrolled situation that keeps us on constant alert.\u00a0For example, being aware of the thousands of stimuli we receive every day will make us stop for a few seconds.\u00a0It is important to pay attention to the\u00a0<\/span>importance of stopping<\/span><\/a>\u00a0, to improve information processing, memory and thinking in general.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is in our hands to make a conscious selection of the information that does not add value and limit exposure to social networks.\u00a0In the same way, it can also help to take time to disconnect and practice relaxation techniques.\u00a0For example, carrying out activities that allow us to distract ourselves, such as doing manual work.<\/span><\/p>\n

We can crochet, paint, read or simply contemplate a bird, a tree, a river, the sea or simply observe a flower or go fishing.\u00a0It is not necessary to be a great artist or a good musician.\u00a0Any task that requires distracting the mind from daily problems can be incorporated as long as we stop consciously, and we can do\u00a0<\/span>Art Therapy<\/span><\/a>\u00a0with anything .<\/span><\/p>\n

Where can this lead us?\u00a0And if for a moment we are ourselves?\u00a0If we release so many stimuli, could we perceive our day to day differently?\u00a0What could happen to us?\u00a0Probably only\u00a0positive responses <\/a><\/span>will emerge<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

The importance of stopping<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It is very important to be aware of the importance of stopping and disconnecting without having to make long trips or outings.\u00a0The tools that we have within our reach can be found anywhere and when work or\u00a0<\/span>family reconciliation<\/span><\/a>\u00a0allow us.\u00a0We must take time for ourselves and stop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s not judge how we feel, or how things are going for us.\u00a0Let’s not avoid grieving or stop being angry if that’s what we experience.\u00a0No need to feel guilty for not being 100% happy the Instagram way.\u00a0Maybe we could forget Twitter for a while or LinkedIn for a few moments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s not make decisions even for a moment, for a day, for a few hours, a few minutes.\u00a0In this sense, the holidays are a good excuse to start practicing it.\u00a0Let’s just let time pass with something that makes us heal.\u00a0Pausing is crucial to maintaining a healthy and balanced mind.<\/span><\/p>\n
