^Hi! Welcome. You being here means more than you know. Knowing it lands wit=
h someone like you keeps me going. I'm ^^[Lavena Xu-Johnson](https://x.com/=
iamlavena)^^. I write about psychology for founders. Why? Because scaling a=
 business means scaling ourselves first.^

_**Happy Wednesday, founders,**_

_=E2=80=9CA bulldog just jumped out of his fence and attacked our dog,=E2=
=80=9D my husband panted to me 6.30 am in the morning with a swollen eye._

_Luckily, our dog Milo was fine, but it was traumatizing for my partner to =
pull two biting dogs apart in a span of a few seconds - he explained to me =
during the car ride as we were dropping our son off for his first day back =
at school=E2=80=A6 It was a month and a half into the school break amid the=
 Middle East conflict, and the words from the principal's safety briefing w=
ere still echoing in my head. Every parent looked a little tense at drop of=
f=E2=80=A6 _

_Hours later, after my partner=E2=80=99s doctor's check-up for his infected=
 eye, I thought the day would finally calm down; little did I know my print=
er would stop working, followed by a power plus water cut in the house=E2=
=80=A6_

_You get it now. This was one of those days: an extremely overstimulating y=
et nothing significantly bad actually happened=E2=80=A6 but you felt utterl=
y exhausted=E2=80=A6_

_In the following days, more stressful life and work events came my way, an=
d I started noticing that every little sound would make me jump, and loud p=
laces would give me bad headaches for hours._

_That=E2=80=99s when I knew my sensory overload had returned=E2=80=A6_

_The next week, I decided to run a little experiment: I wore noise-cancelin=
g earplugs throughout the day and night, regardless of whether I was in a l=
oud place._

_The result surprised me: my constant headaches were gone, my sleep improve=
d, and I had so much more energy at the end of the day. It even showed up o=
n my Whoop (fitness tracker) as a 7-day high recovery score in green._

_I thought about how important it is to understand our body and manage it w=
hen life gives us a lemon - so, let=E2=80=99s dive into the business of sen=
sory overload again and how to best get it under control.  _

### The thalamus: your brain's sensory filter

Every sensation we receive: sound, light, touch, taste, the awareness of ou=
r own body in space, passes through the thalamus before it reaches the cort=
ex, which works like a filter. Under normal conditions, it decides what's u=
seful and directs it.

View image: (https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=3Dscale-down,forma=
t=3Dauto,onerror=3Dredirect,quality=3D80/uploads/asset/file/0fc9b675-fb49-4=
0d7-8afe-360a8f95c651/thalamus-damage.avif?t=3D1778094071)
Caption: Where is the thalamus?

That filter deteriorates when you're under constant stress. The thalamus pa=
sses excessive amounts of irrelevant information through, and heightens you=
r experience in the 6 senses that feel too much:

**Sound:** You become hyper-aware of background noise that others filter au=
tomatically. Busy cafes, or meetings with multiple voices, can all set you =
off instantly.

**Sight:** Bright lights, screens, busy visual environments. The overstimul=
ated brain struggles with contrast and complexity in ways it didn't before.

**Smell:** Scents that once registered neutrally become intrusive. Many peo=
ple notice this most in confined spaces like lifts, cars, and meeting rooms=
.

**Touch:** A hand on your shoulder makes you jump; your most comfortable cl=
othing makes you itch.=20

**Taste:** Less commonly discussed, but appetite and food intensity can shi=
ft significantly during high-stress periods. Some people find eating become=
s mechanical; others find previously tolerable foods suddenly taste too muc=
h.

**Proprioception:** The sixth sense: your brain's awareness of where your b=
ody is in space. When the nervous system is overwhelmed, this can manifest =
as physical restlessness, difficulty sitting still, or a constant low-level=
 tension with no obvious source.

Not everyone experiences all of these. But most people living with sensory =
overload are managing a combination of several, without ever connecting the=
m to a single cause.

### This is more common than we admit

The pandemic increased anxiety disorder cases by an estimated 76 million gl=
obally in 2020 alone, a [26% increase ](https://www.thelancet.com/article/S=
0140-6736(21)02143-7/fulltext)above pre-pandemic baselines (COVID-19 Mental=
 Disorders Collaborators, 2021). Approximately 30% of the general populatio=
n already exhibits high levels of sensory processing sensitivity as a trait=
. Chronic stress can push anyone across that threshold temporarily, regardl=
ess of where they start.

[One study ](#this-is-more-common-than-we-admit)showed highly sensitive ind=
ividuals (those high in Sensory Processing Sensitivity) experience signific=
antly more overstimulation than less sensitive people when exposed to unple=
asant stimuli, fatigue, or negative mood - but also experience greater reli=
ef from overstimulation than their less sensitive counterparts when conditi=
ons are positive (pleasant sounds/visuals, low fatigue, good mood).

In short, the same heightened responsiveness that makes HSPs more vulnerabl=
e to stimulating environments also makes them more responsive to good ones.=

### The shame is its own stressor

We often have a sense of guilt and shame if we feel =E2=80=98sensitive=E2=
=80=99.

The internal monologue goes: _I should be able to handle this, I don't know=
 why I'm like this, everyone else seems fine._

This self-criticism, in itself, is counterproductive. It triggers cortisol =
production and activates the threat response. And they are the last things =
an already-overwhelmed nervous system needs.

We often manage two problems at once: the sensory overload itself and our o=
wn judgment about having it.

Self-compassion has been linked to greater vagally mediated heart rate vari=
ability and reduced cortisol levels (Kirschner et al., 2019). It helps lowe=
r the stress hormone cortisol and supports the brain's emotion-regulation c=
enters, facilitating a calmer and more adaptive response to stressors (Cowa=
nd et al., 2024).

Dr. Kristin Neff describes one of self-compassion's core components as _com=
mon humanity:_ the recognition that struggle is not evidence of personal in=
adequacy, but a shared experience of being human, a problem we are, by numb=
ers, not alone in.

### What this means for founders

We live and work in environments that are, by design, highly stimulating, w=
ithout giving us a chance to recover. Back-to-back calls, open offices, and=
 constant context-switching. The sensory load of a founder's day is genuine=
ly high, and most of us treat managing it as a weakness rather than mainten=
ance.

I sometimes hear people praising high-functioning founders as =E2=80=98high=
 energy=E2=80=99, and that =E2=80=98I could never do that much in a day.=E2=
=80=99 What we don=E2=80=99t see is how these founders are highly disciplin=
ed in how they spend or conserve their energy.=20

For founders, if time is the asset, then energy is the currency.

A nervous system running on chronic overload makes worse decisions, or misr=
eads situations or people. For founders, learning how to recover is actuall=
y part of the work.

=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=

=E2=80=94=E2=80=94

### Soothing each sense practically

Our nervous system needs specific conditions to downregulate, and most of t=
hem are simpler to adjust than we think:

**Sound:** Try wearing noise-canceling earplugs for any crowded places (I l=
ove them). Try silence or slow music (60=E2=80=9380bpm, no lyrics) before i=
mportant calls or decisions.=20

**Sight:** Wear blue-light blocking glasses. Reduce overhead lighting, lamp=
s, and natural light are genuinely different inputs to the visual cortex. S=
tep outside between long screen sessions.

**Smell:** Familiar, neutral scents calm the nervous system faster than you=
'd expect. If certain environments are reliably overwhelming.

**Touch:** Weighted blankets, loose clothing during recovery periods, and d=
eliberate physical grounding activate the parasympathetic system (feet flat=
 on the floor, hands on a surface).

**Taste:** Eat slowly and without screens. Rushed, distracted eating while =
the nervous system is already dysregulated adds sensory stress and prevents=
 the gut-brain signaling that tells your body it's actually safe.

**Proprioception:** This sense specifically craves slow, intentional moveme=
nt: walking without a destination, stretching, yoga, and swimming.

### Key takeaways

1. When you feel triggered - before attributing irritability or overwhelm t=
o something relational or situational, check how stimulated you feel. More =
often than we expect, the cause is environmental.=20

2. The self-criticism about being sensitive is counterproductive. The resea=
rch is clear that self-compassion reduces cortisol, and harshness does NOT =
make us tougher.

3. Don=E2=80=99t get irritated when recovery is slow; we can=E2=80=99t trea=
t healing a nervous system like hitting a project milestone. It=E2=80=99s a=
