Tamas — inertia

Tamas is the quality of inertia, heaviness, and resistance to change that arises when the mind is dulled by stagnation, poor sleep, or habits that disconnect you from vital energy. In practice, recognizing tamas means noticing when you are numb, procrastinating, or moving through life on autopilot—and addressing it through movement, clarity, and engagement.
