8 signs that your body and mind are exhausted

In a world where efficiency and speed reign supreme, it’s easy to overlook the subtle yet important signals our bodies send us. But when fatigue becomes chronic, our body and mind eventually say “stop.” What if these physical and emotional symptoms were warning signs to be taken seriously?
Here are eight common signals to recognize to maintain balance.

You’re getting worked up over nothing.

If you get irritated easily or if minor annoyances take on unexpected proportions, this could indicate mental overload. When the emotional burden becomes too heavy, it’s difficult to step back and put things into perspective.

The right approach: take real breaks, set clear boundaries, and engage in calming activities.
What once made you happy no longer affects you.
If you lose all interest in things that previously brought you joy, it may indicate inner exhaustion or a decline in vitality.

The right approach: rediscover the little pleasures of everyday life: a coffee on a terrace, a walk in the sun, your favorite song. Savor these moments without judging yourself.

You feel a constant tension

When anxiety becomes chronic, the body remains in a state of constant alert, even without apparent reason. This hypervigilance is harmful to the nervous system.

The right approach: consciously slow down certain tasks, breathe deeply, try heart coherence or sophrology.
Your nights are no longer bringing you rest.
