Your brain doesnβt get tired from doing things, it gets tired from resisting things. When youβre doing nothing your mind starts overthinking and carrying the weight of all the things youβre avoiding. Thatβs why you feel so tired. It burns more mental energy than simply taking action
Do the thing
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 youβre 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 youβve trained your mind to hesitate instead of act
Avoidance creates doubt, and doubt creates more avoidance. The only way out is action, even in small doses
