Nope Energy

Brain says nah. Body says hell-nah.

You are offline, not in the fiery, dramatic way. In the “nope, not happening” way. Your nervous system is holding you still, wrapped in an invisible fog that says: do nothing.

This isn’t laziness. This is a dorsal freeze response doing its job, halting all movement until the coast feels safe. You might not feel like talking. Thinking. Participating. That’s okay.

There’s no need to “push through.” But if you want to signal the smallest flicker of return, try something low-stakes. Press your palms together. Feel your own strength, quietly.

You don’t owe the world your output right now. You’re allowed to opt out. You're allowed to just be.
