Sometimes, it’s not laziness.
It’s not lack of motivation.
It’s emotional exhaustion — and it can drain your mind, body, and heart.
Emotional exhaustion happens when you’ve been carrying too much for too long — stress, worry, responsibility, or even unspoken emotions.
Here are some quiet signs:
- You feel tired even after sleeping.
- Small tasks feel overwhelming.
- You get irritated easily.
- You feel numb or disconnected from people.
- You’ve lost interest in things you used to enjoy.
If this sounds like you, the answer isn’t to “push harder.”
The answer is to pause.
Give yourself permission to:
- Do less.
- Rest without guilt.
- Say no.
- Breathe deeply.
- Ask for support.
You are not weak for needing rest.
You are human — and even strong hearts need soft spaces to recover.
Let rest be your medicine.
