Are you tired, or do you hate living like this?

You're sold ways to recover better. Morning rituals, properly planned weekends, a new notebook, an app that reminds you to breathe. Some of these things help. The problem starts when recovery becomes maintenance for conditions you find unacceptable. You're regularly pushed to the point where you need an entire day off in silence, then blame yourself for not resting efficiently enough. Your boss shouts. The tasks are pointless. There are no boundaries. But somehow it's your morning routine we're going to fix.
