If you’re stressed, you’re normal, because only when you have a lifestyle where everything is maximized do you risk burnout. There are certain ingredients that are risk factors for ending up in a stress spiral. The first component is that we compare ourselves to others. Genetic function in the brain that is both positive and negative. When you compare yourself to others and that leads to negative thoughts or unhealthy behavior, it triggers the stress system.
The second component is ideal for living, for example, the perfect house with the latest interiors. Above all, your expectation of yourself to be perfect in all contexts. Since it is impossible to be perfect, this is a direct path to feeling bad. It is one of the main causes of stress and ill health. It is often related to how you compare yourself to others and how you think about yourself. How perfect do you think other people are? What we see and read on social media is just a small part of other people’s lives. All people have positive and negative sides and life has its ups and downs. It is a false picture of reality that makes you overthink.
Comparison and perfection breed overthinking. It makes you think a lot about evaluating others, comparing situations, and weighing the pros and cons. It’s all in the pursuit of finding what you think is best. Unfortunately, you will never get there.
Stress-related illness is a combination of societal norms and your expectations of yourself that lead to overthinking. While training to increase your self-awareness has been shown to provide better conditions for processing thoughts and behavior.
