It’s your brain’s inertia loop at work. Here’s the science: our brains crave consistency.

Some days, even getting out of bed feels like a victory. Other days, we find ourselves back in the hospital, facing tests, procedures, and uncertainty. It’s a cycle that many of us have come to accept as part of life. But then there are the good days—the ones where we wake up with a little more energy, a little less pa
