Introduction
Most of us have experienced bodily indigestion at some point in our lives. It is usually caused by eating too quickly, fatty, or spicy foods. Bodily indigestion causes pain or discomfort in the stomach. When we experience these symptoms, we know that something is wrong and we want to find a remedy. We can do this by taking medicine or avoiding certain foods.
Mental indigestion is similar to bodily indigestion in some ways. It occurs when we take on something that does not agree with us mentally. This can cause internal conflict. We may have already agreed upon a strategy for moving forward, but we have allowed something else to override our original strategy. Mental indigestion can manifest itself mentally or physically. This is why many of us are at a loss as to why we experience mental indigestion.
Causes
There are many possible causes of mental indigestion. One possibility is that we are taking on too much work. We may think that we can do everything in our head, but writing things down can actually take a lot of pressure off.
Another possibility is that we have come up with a strategy but are not acting on it. This can cause a ripple effect, affecting everything else that we do. This can lead to feelings of indecisiveness and frustration.
We may also feel overwhelmed by information. This can happen when we are given too much new information or when we are given too much information in general. This can lead to feelings of frustration and a desire to give up.
Finally, we may be doing something that we are not familiar with or that we have no interest in doing. Sometimes we take on things that we know are not for us, but we do it because of peer pressure or some other reason. This can lead to feelings of regret later on.
Remedy
There are a number of things that we can do to manage or avoid mental indigestion. Here are a few suggestions:
- Meditate. Spending 10-15 minutes a day meditating can help to clear the mind.
- Get a good night’s sleep. Avoid electronic devices one to two hours before bed.
- Listen to relaxing music. Read a nice book.
- Do a light workout.
- Write down 10 things that were good about your day.
- Write down what you need to do the next day.
- Do not take late night calls.
- Do not argue or fight with anyone, or be around people who could upset you, before going to bed.
- Reflect back on your day and think about what you have learned and how you can put those lessons to use for the next day.
- Be thankful!
Conclusion
Mental indigestion is something that can easily happen, but it can be difficult to get rid of if it becomes a habit. It is a warning sign that something is wrong and that we need to make a change. When we realize that we are in control of our own mental state, we can start to filter out the things that are not moving us forward.
