Send us a text While it's great that we have so much information available to us at our disposal, it's also not so great because it ends up causing mental overload. Plus, we are taught that the "hustle" and getting things done is how we stay relevant as an active member in society. But running at this speed is bound to end in paralyzing anxiety and overwhelm. There is too much to implement at the same time, so instead of doing SOMETHING, we end up doing nothing... We start spinning our wheels......
