Episode summary:
This Thursday reflection explores the absurdity of how much energy we give to things that take far less effort than we feared. It’s about noticing what we build up in our minds, and the gentle relief of doing the thing and moving on.

Key themes:

• Emotional dread vs. actual effort
• The anticipation tax
• Lightening your grip on overthinking
• Small reliefs in small actions

Listener takeaway:
The task may be simple, it’s the emotional weight around it that’s heavy.

Daily Think:
“Some tasks are only heavy because of how long we’ve carried them in our minds.”
