Decision fatigue happens when the brain becomes overwhelmed by too many choices and responsibilities.
When this happens, even small decisions can feel exhausting.
Reflection can help reduce mental load by clarifying what truly matters and what can wait.
Try these prompts when you feel mentally overloaded.
1️⃣ What decisions am I carrying right now that could wait?
2️⃣ Which responsibilities truly need my attention today?
3️⃣ What expectations am I putting on myself that I could soften?
4️⃣ What support would help make this decision easier?
5️⃣ What would a calmer, well-rested version of me choose?
Sometimes clarity begins with simply slowing down long enough to reflect.
