Are we paying attention to what drains our energy? We all have enough energy to do whatever we want. But there are too many things that we might not even be aware of and that make us lose the energy we need.
* Very important notice: these tips do not work if you only reflect on them. You need to take action!
Day 2: What drains your energy? Make a list of the things that drain your energy and their effect on you. Awareness is the first step in eliminating some of the most dangerous activities that take our energy or in preparing yourself with a back-up plan when in low-energy moments.
Here are a few of my moments and activities:
- Travel – makes me tired;
- Winter – makes me feel low energy and asleep all the time;
- Late nights – give me eye shadows;
- Early afternoon – I feel like going to sleep;
- Food and drink – a glass of wine makes me feel sleepy, the Sunday lunch makes me feel guilty;
- A poor night sleep – it’s harder to wake up in the morning and I feel like I am tired all day long;
- When ill – my body recovers and I need to sleep and rest mor time;
- When I do not drink water: my head hurts and I cannot focus;
- Too hot in the room: I feel like sleeping…
So, what are your energy drainers and their effect on you?
