Overcoming Brain Fog and Mental Exhaustion

I used to think I was just tired. Like, “maybe I need more sleep” kind of tired. So I rested. I took breaks. I slept in.But the fog didn’t lift.I was still spacing out mid-sentence and forgetting basic words. My brain felt simply offline. And the worst part was, I looked fine, even though I was constantly asking myself, Am I losing it? Everyone thought I was fine. But inside, it felt like my brain had been replaced with mashed potatoes. I couldn’t think straight, and the more I tried to fix it, the worse it got.Turns out, brain fog from anxiety isn’t about being lazy or under-rested — it’s your brain stuck in survival mode. Not tired... but overstimulated. In that state, trying to solve it with logic is like putting out a fire by blowing on it.In this episode, I’m breaking down why your brain goes foggy during anxiety, how the nervous system plays a huge role, and why “doing less” might actually be the thing that gets you back.Tune in now!Key Takeaways:Intro (00:00)Brain fog persists even with rest (01:04)The prefrontal cortex shuts down during stress (02:10)Brain fog feels scary due to loss of control (03:22)Brain fog is the brain’s protection mechanism (04:33)Thinking harder worsens the overload (06:13)Recap (08:55)Additional Resources:➡️ To accelerate your recovery journey, book a call to see if the mentorship with Shaan's team will help your specific situation ➡️ Get access to the Desensitization Blueprint  ➡️ FREE E-BOOK  ---Follow me on social media: 🔹 Instagram 🔹 Facebook 🔹 LinkedIn
