About this video
You're not lazy. You're just mentally exhausted or burnout. Share this video if you agree.
With society becoming more fast-paced and productive, people are starting to normalize the habit of overworking. Because of this, people tend to confuse “mental exhaustion” with “laziness” since they both look similar on the surface level. This video might help you remember why it's important to take a break without feeling guilty.
