Summary
Feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or constantly "on" even when you're getting things done? The issue may not be how much you're doing, but how much input your nervous system is processing each day.
On today's show, I break down the critical difference between being overworked and overstimulated, and explain why overstimulation is one of the most overlooked drivers of burnout, stress-related health issues, and stalled momentum.
You'll learn how constant notifications, information overload, and nonstop problem-solving keep the nervous system locked in a chronic stress response.
I also share practical strategies to reduce mental noise, regain clarity, and build real momentum by simplifying inputs, setting clear priorities, and focusing on one key area of life at a time.
Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3650, to discover why you may not be overworked, but overstimulated, and what you can do about it.
Enjoy the show!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Cabral concept, where board certified doctor of naturopathy, Dr. Stephen Cabral, |
| 0:05.8 | shares with you exactly how you can reverse aging, take back your health, and live a life |
| 0:10.9 | full of energy and passion with new 20-minute episodes every single day to keep you healthy and |
| 0:16.7 | engaged. Now, here's your host, Dr. Stephen Cabral. |
| 0:23.8 | All right, everybody, we're back. Brand new mindset and engaged. Now, here's your host, Dr. Stephen Cabral. All right, buddy, we're back. Brand new mindset of motivation Monday. Can't wait to get started with you. Brand new week, whenever you |
| 0:28.7 | listen to this show, I always want it to be something that not only inspires you, but gives |
| 0:33.8 | you an action plan that you can use in your life in order to be able to honestly |
| 0:38.6 | grow, get the most out of this experience we're enjoying as humans here, and do that in the |
| 0:44.6 | service of others and, of course, with those that you love. So what I want to share with you |
| 0:48.7 | right now is what I truly believe, because I've seen this in my own life, especially over the last |
| 0:53.5 | quarter of last year, no doubt about it, is that most of us are not overworked. |
| 0:58.1 | We're really not. We're overstimulated. And there's a huge difference between the two. |
| 1:03.4 | Because overstimulated is exactly the root cause that most of us are dealing with for a lot of our health-based issues. So, for example, |
| 1:12.1 | if you take my health issues when I was 17 years old for that decade through 27 years old, |
| 1:17.6 | I was overstimulated. I honestly was. Think about it. My senior year is where I got the most sick. |
| 1:22.9 | Now, again, that rain barrel was filling over the first 17 years of my life. But taking my SATs, applying to |
| 1:30.1 | colleges, olders born, going to leave my house for the first time, going to leave my friends, |
| 1:35.1 | all my different relationships. I had to figure out, again, a way to get jobs to pay for |
| 1:40.2 | going off to school and to pay for books. And I mean, all of these experiences were not only |
| 1:45.5 | new, there was just so many things going at the same time. So again, it's not always work |
| 1:50.2 | and the things that we have to do, but new inputs. When it's always a deluge of essentially |
| 1:55.9 | new tasks that you are required to keep up with on top of your old ones, you just get over-stimulated. |
