Restlessness can be the next chapter knocking. Or it can just be Thursday. Learn the difference.
CREATIVITY
WHAT THIS MEANS
Not every bad mood is a message. Restlessness sometimes means something real has run its course, and sometimes it means you slept badly, the week is long, and it is the part of term where everything drags. Treating every flat feeling as a sign leads to a lot of unnecessary demolition.
Before you change anything big, wait out a full week of decent sleep and food and see whether the feeling survives it. If it does, and it turns up on good days too, take it seriously. If it vanishes by Saturday, it was Thursday.
A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
Is your restlessness pointing somewhere, or is it just this week?

- Losing captain, a starting spot or a job title hurts. Who you are without the title is the real test.
- On a new team, nobody knows you were captain before. Earn it again. That’s how you find out it was real.
