You’re not failing. You’re not thriving. You’re somewhere in between, scrolling, surviving, and calling it “fine.” But fine can quietly erase you.

In this episode of Focus Fuel, we explore the psychology of low effort survival, why your brain chooses comfort over progress, and how staying busy can actually be your most subtle form of self distraction.

You’ll learn:

• Why your mind prefers numbness to change

• How overwhelm can disguise avoidance

• The silent cost of keeping yourself constantly occupied

• A simple method to start feeling alive again without forcing hustle

This isn’t about burnout. It’s about the quiet in between, where potential fades without a sound.

🎯 Quote to remember:
“It’s not pain that kills potential. It’s comfort you never question.”
