can't stop thinking about how it's theorised that people with the highest levels of perseverance are least likely to properly recover from burnout. how if you've known stress all your life but are good at pushing through it mentally sometimes it's the rest of your body that actually gives up, because even with the most grit and resilience none of us are invincible and your nervous system isn't something you can think your way out of the reactions of, nor is it something you can train to do superhuman things the way you can train your muscles to be super strong with enough exercise. your nervous system is always going to limit you, even if you have the fittest body or the best growth mindset and positive thinking skills
