You Don’t Need More Willpower — You Deserve Fewer Leaks

You’re not broken. You’re just drained.

Most people think they’re tired because they’re lazy.
Or undisciplined.
Or not “motivated enough.”

But fatigue isn’t always about sleep.
And burnout isn’t a failure of willpower.

It’s often a signal:
that your energy has been outsourced
to too many places that don’t feed you.

You’re not broken.
You’re just leaking.

Leaking energy into managing perceptions.
Into chasing someone else’s definition of success.
Into trying to heal things that weren’t your responsibility to begin with.

You give little pieces of yourself away —
to guilt, to proving, to overthinking,
until you’re stretched thin trying to hold it all together.

But your power hasn’t disappeared.
It’s just scattered.

Today, reclaim it.
Not by hustling harder — but by getting radically honest:

Where is your energy going that doesn’t honor who you are now?
What roles, expectations, or thoughts are quietly exhausting you?

Willpower isn’t the solution.
Presence is.
Boundaries are.
Self-trust is.

You don’t have to push.
You just get to choose.

And starting now —
you get to choose you.
