Excessive generosity, though well-intentioned, often leads to a significant loss of energy and eventual fatigue. This depletion affects physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It’s caused by physical exhaustion from neglecting self-care, emotional drain from constant worry, mental overload due to multitasking, a lack of personal time, and boundary erosion. Stress, anxiety, and diminished self-worth can exacerbate these effects.
In the world of generosity, there’s often more than meets the eye. Excessive generosity, while well-intentioned, can be driven by a multitude of underlying causes.

These qualities, when practiced with care and intention, hold the power to uplift not only those we extend our goodwill to but also ourselves. However, like any intricate pattern, the virtue of generosity can unravel if pulled too taut.

Anxiety is a natural response to stress and can manifest as excessive worry, fear, and apprehension about future events.
