What if the thing wearing you out is not your workload…

What if the thing wearing you out is not your workload, but your mind?
Most people believe they are physically exhausted when the truth is they are mentally depleted. We blame our bodies when our minds have been carrying burdens they were never meant to hold.
Think about it. We are living through an obesity epidemic where many people are moving less than ever before. If physical activity were the primary cause of exhaustion, we would expect the opposite. The real problem is that our minds never stop running. Stress, unresolved conflict, anxiety, trauma, disappointment, expectations, resentment, and fear create a constant stream of catabolic thoughts that drain our energy every waking hour.
Your body can recover from physical work. Your mind struggles to recover when it never gets a chance to rest.
Be honest with yourself. Is there a conversation you are avoiding? A decision you refuse to make? Someone you need to forgive, including yourself? Every unresolved issue creates interference between your potential and your performance.
The answer is not always to work harder. Sometimes the greatest act of self care is to deal with what has been weighing on your mind. Have the conversation. Make the decision. Set the boundary. If you cannot change it, let it go.
When you remove the mental weight, your energy begins to return. Clear your mind and your body will often follow. Protect your mental energy as fiercely as your physical health because the greatest exhaustion most people experience today is not in their muscles. It is in their thoughts.
