Brain fog can be very frustrating and anxiety can be one of its main culprits.
So I offer you some top tips for overcoming anxiety related brain fog.
You most likely already know that anxiety is a stress response and if left unaddressed, can lead to burnout and depression.
When anxiety becomes chronic or overwhelming, it can lead to a range of cognitive symptoms, including brain fog. This mental fog can leave us feeling frustrated, drained, and even hopeless.
So if we have an argument with our partner, get stuck in traffic, or have to meet a tight deadline with work, our brains continue to be triggered as if the threat to our survival is real, and our fight and flight response is triggered.
If we are cut up in traffic, check our in boxes, notice the boss approaching us etc our bodies instinctively prepare us to run away or fight back and get to safety. Our anxious “smoke alarm” is triggered.
We feel our heart rate increase and we would breathe faster, so we could deliver as much oxygen as possible to our muscles and organs.
We start to sweat and blush as blood vessels dilate to allow more blood to flow, we may feel cramps and tension in our muscles.
We have a feeling of nausea too as our digestive system shuts down, as we don’t need to waste energy digesting food at this point.
Our cortex, the smart part of our brain that is responsible for higher functioning, problem solving and logic, shuts down. This is when you may notice brain fog.
