Welcome to Man Morning, a weekly hit toward the life you’re here to build.

Most people aren't burned out. They're bored.

We're not doing too much. We're doing too little of what actually moves us.

Calendars full of meetings we dread. Inboxes full of things that drain us. Minds full of tasks that don't matter.

That's not burnout. That's spiritual claustrophobia.

Suffocating inside lives that look good on paper. But feel empty in real time.

I've been there.

Overcommitted. Overbooked. Underwhelmed.

"Successful" but lowkey miserable.

I wrote the book Stop Living on Autopilot after living this reality.

The shift happens when we stop asking: "What do I need to do?"

And start asking: "What do I need to feel?"

Joy. Energy. Ownership. A pulse.

We chase external validation and achievements. But our bodies don't care about impressive titles or awards.

They care whether we feel alive when we get out of bed.

The real indicators aren't external.

They're in our bodies. In our energy. In the moments we feel fully present.

The solution isn't necessarily doing less. It's replacing what drains us with what energizes us.

Swap one meeting for a conversation that matters.

Trade one obligation for an experiment that excites you.

Exchange one "should" for something that makes you feel alive.

What's one change you could make this week to feel more alive?
