The article discusses the phenomenon referred to as 'cortisolmaxxing', a state where individuals expose themselves to constant stress through overstimulation from screens and alerts. This behavior heightens cortisol levels, mimicking danger without real threats, which can impair various cognitive functions like memory, focus, and decision-making over time. The continuous expectation of stressors creates a vulnerable state, ultimately leading to burnout. Effective focus and relaxation become challenging in environments filled with persistent distractions and demands for attention.
Cortisol spikes from constant alerts can mimic danger, even when no real threat is present.
Chronic overstimulation hijacks focus and impairs memory, sleep, and decision-making.
Multitasking and constant input train your brain to expect threats everywhere.
Cortisolmaxxing is a direct path to something everyone hears about: burnout.
