Your brain doesn’t get tired from doing things, it gets tired from resisting things. When you’re doing nothing your mind starts overthinking and carrying the weight of all the things you’re avoiding. That’s why you feel so tired. It burns more mental energy than simply taking action

I want to add to this that the less you do, the more your brain starts to question your ability to do anything at all. Inaction slowly chips away at your confidence because you’re no longer proving to yourself that you can handle things. This is also true when someone else is doing everything for you like a partner or a parent. Momentum creates evidence. When you stop moving, that evidence disappears, and doubt fills the space. Over time, even simple tasks start to feel heavier than they actually are because you’ve trained your mind to hesitate instead of act
