YOUR ATTITUDE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Doing challenging work --like figuring out a calculus problem --seems to take a lot of energy, and so it makes your brain feel tired -Spending the same time on social media looking at cat pictures doesn't seems as mentally demanding, because your brain doesn't use nearly the same amount of energy to do that. Right? not so fast.
Stress contributes to the feeling of exhaustion you might have after doing challenging work, such as taking a calculus test, where you are worried about the grade and are anxious your performance. So it's true that under certain circumstances doing challenging work tires your brain more than easy tasks. But research shows that it's basically your attitude that makes the difference. In other words, you just think that solving the calculus problem is more tiring than looking at cat pictures. As far as how much energy you brain actually uses? There's not a lot of difference between the two activities
