What if your fatigue isn't just physical? 🧐


Hello Reader,

When your
body is exhausted, you rest.
What happens when your
hope runs out? Often you're told to "just think positive."🤮

We’ve normalized physical exhaustion as something that requires recovery.
But somehow, when it’s our hope that’s worn out, we treat it like a character flaw.

And that disconnect?
It’s costing us more than we realize.

🧠 Hope is not fluff—it’s science. According to Dr. C.R. Snyder’s Hope Theory, it’s a measurable psychological construct that strongly influences your energy, clarity, and resilience.

In fact, studies from Harvard show that low hope levels activate the same biological stress response as a physical threat.
Your immune system, sleep, and decision-making all take a hit when hope runs low.

So let me ask:

What’s one situation that’s been quietly draining your hope lately?
(I’d love to hear if you’re willing to share—just hit reply. I'll read and reply.)

Starting tomorrow, we’ll explore 5 often-invisible sources of hope depletion.

And more importantly—how to begin restoring your reserves.

Here’s to reclaiming what keeps us going,

Kevin

P.S. If you know you want to increase your hope reserves, join us for the June Cultivating Hope Cohort (starts Monday, June 9). We use Hope Science to help you build hope through two quick 10-minute sessions a day, whenever it suits you.
