Decision Fatigue Is a Nervous System Problem | The Free Man

Some days you can’t make a decision to save your life. Those days can turn into weeks, months and sometimes years. I’ve just been through a spell of it myself. A change of circumstances knocked my practices off, I was spinning a lot of plates, and before long I was tired, confused and second guessing everything. Three days after picking the practices back up, the light switch came back on. Nothing in my life had changed except what I was doing in the mornings. In this video I talk about why decision fatigue can be a nervous system response as well as a mental one, what stress does to the part of the brain that thinks clearly, and why “I can do it all” can cost more than you realise. In this video: My own burnout spell and what changed in three days Why a run-down nervous system makes thinking clearly harder Why the problems stay but you can see them more clearly Just because you can doesn’t mean you should Why competitive sport and hard training can keep you wired What are you sacrificing to keep going? 0:00 - Decision fatigue and why it hits 0:20 - My own spell of dropping my practices 1:01 - Three days back in and the light switch is back on 1:42 - Why it's a nervous system response 2:37 - Same life, same pressures, one thing changed 3:09 - Just because you can doesn't mean you should 3:45 - The client who can't switch off after 35 years 4:32 - What are you sacrificing? 4:56 - Community and cohorts Free Man is a men's self-development programme built around nervous system regulation, embodiment, and self-authority.
