The importance of stopping.

In today’s world, it is increasingly common to feel overwhelmed, unable to delve deeper, or “shallow” due to the constant influx of information and stimuli we receive. This overload of information can lead to a feeling of “mental clutter”, where we feel unable to process or choose important information. Studies in psychology have shown that this information overload can negatively affect mental health and emotional well-being. This overload can be of different types, such as cognitive, sensory, emotional, and informational overload, but they all share the difficulty of focusing. The ability to focus is crucial for the ability to process information, make decisions, and complete tasks. Mental saturation can affect this ability, making us feel constantly distracted and unable to focus on a single task.

Furthermore, it can also contribute to creating a more anxious and stressed society. The overload of information can cause an increase in pressure to keep up and deal with a large amount of responsibilities, leaving us feeling constantly overwhelmed. This feeling of pressure can lead to an increase in anxiety and stress levels, which can negatively affect mental health.

To combat mental saturation, it is important to be aware of the importance of stopping, making conscious selections of the information consumed, limiting exposure to media or social networks that do not add value or are irrelevant. It is also important to take time to disconnect and practice relaxation techniques, as well as engage in activities that allow distraction such as crafting, painting or reading. Maybe simply daydreaming.

In summary, mental clutter is a real problem in today’s world and it is important to be aware of its effects and take the necessary measures to combat it. As well as being aware of the importance of stopping and disconnecting. If work or family conciliation allows it, let’s take time for ourselves and not make decisions for even just one day. STOPPING is crucial for maintaining a healthy and balanced mind.
