Ylikuormana

Ylikuormana is a Finnish term that translates to "overload" or "overburdened." It describes a state of being subjected to excessive demands, pressure, or work beyond one's capacity. This can manifest in various contexts, including physical, mental, and emotional spheres. In a physical sense, ylikuormana refers to straining muscles or the body beyond its limits, potentially leading to injury. Mentally, it describes a situation where one's cognitive resources are overwhelmed by too much information, tasks, or stress, resulting in fatigue, reduced performance, and difficulty concentrating. Emotionally, ylikuormana signifies feeling overwhelmed by intense feelings, responsibilities, or a lack of emotional support, leading to distress and burnout. The concept is often associated with modern life, where high expectations and constant connectivity can contribute to a pervasive sense of being ylikuormana. Recognizing and addressing this state is considered important for maintaining well-being and preventing negative consequences.
