Energy Level

Imagine you need to explain a phone’s battery to someone with very basic understanding. How would you do it?

The key point is this: a person’s energy is not their emotional state, not their motivation, and not their level of happiness. Energy is simply the physical charge of the system.

You can be doing something you genuinely enjoy and still become physically exhausted.

Energy level is the reserve of your vitality. When you are tired, it does not mean you have lost interest. It means your physical battery is depleted. Think of an iPhone: is the device broken when the battery runs out? No. Did the apps crash? No. Were the photos damaged? No. The phone simply shut down because it ran out of charge.

Fatigue is not necessarily the result of poor organization, lack of motivation, or hidden psychological stress. Sometimes, if you are tired, it is simply because you are tired. Feeling exhausted at the end of the day is normal. What is unnatural is working all day and still having the same level of energy late in the evening.

Energy depletes with use. Some people spend it fully, others partially, but if you have done a lot during the day, your evening energy level will inevitably be lower than in the morning.

Society often promotes the image of endlessly energetic people — energetic in the morning, energetic in the evening, energetic at night. But the real question is: is this actually a sign of health?

In many cases, it is not. Constant, artificial hyper-energy is often sustained by stimulants and self-destruction, not balance.

So the choice is simple:

Do you prioritize social approval and the attractive image of being “always energetic,” or do you choose to listen to your body and respect its limits?
