You think you’re tired because you’re doing too much.
But you’re tired because your nervous system is doing everything.
Scanning.
Anticipating.
Bracing.
Perfecting.
Managing.
Holding.
Monitoring.
Performing.
This isn’t overwhelm.
This is your body keeping you alive the only way it knows how.
This week’s identity shift:
“I am safe enough to soften.”
Try this 20-second reset:
Unclench your jaw.
Drop your shoulders.
Exhale until your belly softens.
Put a hand over your heart and one over your belly.
Say gently:
“It’s safe to stop bracing.”
Your whole week will feel different.
