You're a Busy Bee!
Busy Bees tend to be too busy for their own good. Responsibility, endless to-do lists and mental stress can bear you down. You will never believe this, but overthinking causes headaches in the form of tension headaches. Stress and overthinking are the result of too much left-hemisphere activity in the Brain, which can cause some major disruptions in both your physical and emotional state. In short, you're a race car that never knows when to stop for a refuel. No time for rejuvenation.
