Feeling foggy and fried? Let’s talk about your brain.

You’re not broken. You’re just mentally maxed out.

If you’re struggling to focus, forgetting simple things, or just feeling mentally foggy — it’s not a personal failure. It’s cognitive overload.

You’re not broken.
You’re human.
And your brain is waving a white flag after another few weeks of high workloads

When you spend ten weeks switching constantly between planning, emails, student needs, parent concerns, admin chaos, and putting out daily fires… your mental bandwidth gets chewed up. Fast.

This isn’t just tiredness.
It’s decision fatigue. Emotional drain. Cognitive overwhelm.

Your brain hasn’t had a proper pause in weeks — and now it's running background noise like a browser with 87 tabs open.

So as the holidays roll in, let’s stop saying “I’ll rest when everything’s done” (spoiler: it never is), and start asking:

👉 What am I doing to restore my mind, body, and heart?

Because real recovery isn’t just lying on the lounge binge-watching Netflix — though that definitely has a place.

Real recovery means:

•  Giving your brain a break from decision-making
•  Doing one thing at a time, without rushing
•  Saying no without guilt
•  Getting outside and moving your body
•  Laughing with people who “get” you
•  Sleeping in without an alarm
•  Reconnecting to things that bring you joy — not just productivity

How will I intentionally restore and renew?
Not just survive — but rebuild some calm, clarity, and capacity?

You deserve that. And you’re allowed to put yourself first — not last — for once.

With you all the way,
