17 - You're Not Lazy, You're Overstimulated
Description
Feeling lazy, exhausted, and overstimulated? You're not lazy—your nervous system is maxed out. Learn why you're tired all the time even when you "haven't done anything" and how to rebuild capacity.
If you've been calling yourself lazy because you can't seem to make yourself do anything, this episode is for you.
What looks like laziness is often a nervous system that's been running at 12 out of 10 for years—maybe decades. Your body is burning massive energy internally through hypervigilance, worry loops, and constant stimulation... even when you're not "doing" anything visible.
In this episode, I talk about:
- Why laziness is almost never the real problem
- The difference between functional freeze and full freeze
- How overstimulation drains you without you realizing it
- Why your exhaustion isn't about today—it's cumulative
- What's actually happening when you "know what to do but can't do it"
This isn't a productivity problem. It's not a willpower problem. It's an overload problem.
