Learn to recharge before emptiness starts choosing for you.

When you run yourself down to nothing, the choosing stops being yours. Emptiness picks the easiest option, the shortest reply, the path with least resistance, and those choices accumulate into a life that was never decided. Recharging is what keeps the decisions in your hands.

Notice the point where your choices start defaulting rather than being made. That is the moment to stop, not later. The refuelling takes far less than the correcting.
