Faking the Energy

12 min

For the tiredness that comes from sounding fine when you are not. The practice follows the small inner generator that keeps the face, voice and mood topped up for other people, then lets it quieten without collapse or apology. A grounded pause for reading your real level again, and leaving with it intact.

Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
