Why everything feels harder by the end of the day

There’s something I hear often on retreat, usually around day two or three.

“I feel like myself again.”

And what they’re describing isn’t just rest. It’s energy.

Because before they arrived, they were holding a lot.
Making decisions all day. Moving quickly. Holding everything together.

Your brain uses energy to make decisions, and over the course of a day, that energy gets used up.

So by the afternoon or evening, things feel heavier.
Not because you’ve changed.
But because your capacity has.

Watch Day 3 here.
