Okay, you’re tired. and your body is clearly telling you to stop. But then a voice in your head jumps in and says: If I stop now, I’m being lazy. I’m being selfish.
But that story isn’t coming from your body, it’s coming from conditioning.
Biology shows that when the brain is depleted, empathy, patience (especially with yourself) drop. But rest restores your ability to care.
And if you ignore it, it usually just makes you feel resentful later.
So trust the signal. Give yourself 10 minutes of quiet.
Honoring your limits is one of the most honest things you can do. You got this.
