At its core, mental health isn’t just an abstract phrase. It’s simply how you think, feel, and act. aaronmachbitz.substack.com/p/why-your-m...
Why your mental health matters more than you think (a quick reflection)

Most people aren't lazy; they're just exhausted from constantly pretending to care about things that don't matter to them.
You don’t need another self-help book; you need to stop giving your best energy to people and habits you don't even like. Most of your exhaustion isn't coming from overworking on things that matter, but from constantly over-investing in things that drain you.
Motivation is a terrible strategy; build an environment where doing the right thing requires zero willpower.

A 1% improvement isn’t about being perfect—it’s about consistently showing up when you’re tired, bored, or completely unmotivated.
The hardest addiction to break isn't a substance or a phone—it's the comfort of feeling like a victim in your own story.
Stop treating every minor discomfort like an emotional emergency—sometimes you're just tired, hungry, or need a glass of water.
You don’t need another self-help book; you need to stop giving your best energy to people and habits you don't even like.
Unpopular opinion, but your toxic trait isn't "overthinking"—it's choosing to do nothing while you watch your own potential rot.
