From what is presented in your above image


I can see 9 Applications are active and running plus the Find My Mac has Alerted the user of something which it is trying to do visa vie the Spinning Globe


At least one of the applications appears to Google Chrome which is a Resource ( CPU ) and Memory HOG


I very much agree with what my colleague @ Luis Sequeira1 has suggested
