Hi ,
If you have been tired and still telling yourself to push harder, you may need a kinder interpretation: stopping is not always giving up.
On a mountain, a wise climber does not prove commitment by ignoring pain, weather, or empty supplies. Rest can be part of the route.
We often confuse movement with progress.
When you have spent days or weeks holding things together, doing one more thing can feel easier than admitting that you need to pause.
Self-criticism can then turn a need for recovery into a verdict on your character.
