Do you struggle to relax? You’re not alone. And there can be several possible reasons your brain won’t let you relax! You see, relaxation induced anxiety is a very real mental health concern, and it’s a lot more common than people think. It refers to the paradoxical experience where trying to rest and relax actually increases feelings of anxiety rather than reducing them.
From sensory overload to nervous system dysregulation, chronic stress, mental burnout, unresolved trauma, and trapped emotions, there can be a number of causes for relaxation resistance. And if you tend to worry and overthink things, you likely have a hard time relaxing.
The good news is that there are relaxation techniques that can help calm your nervous system. These include simple environmental changes, breathwork, mindfulness, light movements, reduced caffeine intake, and dopamine detox.
