We’ve all had mornings where the weight of the day feels heavy before our feet even hit the floor. It is a mental fog that changes how we see the world, often leaving us wondering why we feel so drained. There is a common misconception that mental health only matters when something is “wrong.” In reality, mental wellness is a resource we rely on daily. Think of it like a smartphone battery: stressful activities deplete your charge, while intentional habits restore it. Learning to audit your mental battery grounds mental wellness directly in your everyday experience.
