What's draining your Energy?

-

We all always want to be Productive and perform at our optimum level in our day to day activities. For performing at our best we need to have constantly high energy.

For everyday chores, we involve in various professional activities, social settings, Family time. If we have our energy maintained, we could very well have the energy to utilize for the things we should. You might have been familiar with the following sentences:

1. I am totally drained, I can’t do it
2. I am tired, you please proceed I can’t join you

Of course, Nutrition and diet does hold a major impact on our energy level, but here we not talking about that. We all are aware enough to know our body needs and take care of its habit, and nobody can understand our body more than us.

We here are discussing habits or things which drain our energy, some are things we could avoid but some we can’t so how to deal with it?  How we can maintain our energy?

Signs That You’re Being Drained

1. You feel drained after being in someone’s presence or a phone conversation.

Your energy has been leached, especially when someone has been talking AT YOU INSTEAD OF WITH YOU

2. Being a ‘yes’ person, a ‘go-to’ person, a doormat, doing what others want you to do even when you don’t want to.

And then you become mad with self because of know being manipulated but not doing anything about it.

3. You would like to leave a relationship, but no energy.

Confusion reigns and clarity is not there because of the feeding. Not sure how to find a way out or even if there is a way out.

4. In an abusive situation.

Narcissistic personalities are famous energy drainers and takers. They intimidate, physically or emotionally abuse, belittle, confuse and generally create all varieties of drama. The energy entanglement with a narcissist may take lots of help and considerable self-strength to untangle from it and flee.

5. You or someone around you is needy, co-dependent and whiney.

The words ‘poor me’ are key indicators of Victim Consciousness.

6. Experiencing chronic fatigue and no matter how many health drinks/food/supplements/exercises you do your energy is still low.


Energy-Draining Everyday Habits To Avoid

1. Constantly Worrying   
Worrying does not solve the problem. If something is out of your hands, then it's out of your hands and there is no point in worrying about it. If there is something you can do about it, then stop worrying and take action. Worrying is a waste of energy, focus on what you can control.

2. Negativity  
If you are negative you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. You are not only draining your energy, but you're also draining your colleagues' energy, the workplace's energy, your friends' and family's energy, etc. It is not productive, so try and focus on the positive.

3. Complaining  
By complaining you are not only projecting negativity, but you're forcing the people around you to work in spite of it. No one wants to be around the person who complains about everything. Do not be a part of the problem, be a part of the solution, because people do not want to hear it. Do something productive instead.

4. Not Following Through
Promising a friend, a colleague or your boss something and not following through, you create more stress, anxiety, and work for yourself on the back end, and it depletes your self-esteem. Do what you say you are going to do when you say you will do it and you will have more energy and self-esteem.


5. Being A Passenger 
Being a passenger in your own life and career make you feel like you are tagging along on your own life. Seize control and get in the driver's seat. No one is going to care more about your life and career than you will, so if you are unhappy, seize control and change your life.

6. Gossiping And Participating In Drama  
Discussing and creating drama does nothing to advance or career or build better relationships with your colleagues and friends. It is wasting energy on something that likely has nothing to do with you and is not any of your business. Don't waste energy discussing other people, or trying to make their life more difficult by causing drama. Put that energy into your own self-care and self-improvement.

7. Unhealthy Relationships 
In addition to not complaining, not gossiping and not causing drama, you should not surround yourself with people who do those things. They are toxic, and chances are if they are talking about people behind their back, they are talking about you too. Surround yourself with people who are positive, and who dedicate their energy to their own excellence and lifting up those around them. 

8. Constantly Trying To Please Others
You will never please everyone, so it's best to just try and please yourself. Are you happy and proud of who you are? That's all that matters if some people do not like you when you're at your best that is not your issue, which is theirs.

9. Using your phone in bed

Our bodies are usually very sensitive to light. It affects our sleep cycles. Our bodies understand that when it is bright, we are supposed to wake up and when it is dark, we are supposed to sleep. Bringing along your phone or other electronics which produce the light into bed actually affects our sleep cycles and we are unable to sleep. This results in later sleeping time, little sleep eventually and lower levels of energy on the next day.


Raise Your Energy level

1. Associate yourself with positive uplifting and vibrant people.

2. Do things you love, do involve in activities according to your interest. It may be reading, singing, brainstorming games, traveling.

3. Give yourself the time and space you need to rejuvenate your energy.

4. Involve in some physical activity, if you are not into gym type like me. Get into walking, cycling or light exercises.

5. Have some yummy chocolates, it boosts energy.

6. Make sure that you consume enough purified or coconut water so as to provide your body with these much-needed electrolytes. Avoid the habit of getting dehydrated and adopt one of consuming water throughout your day.

I hope I’ve inspired you to be more fierce about asserting your energy needs. Never put yourself down as being “overly sensitive.” Sensitivity is an asset as long as you learn how to protect yourself from negative vibes. Understanding how you react energetically in the world is particularly important if you’re chronically tired and want to build vitality. Knowledge is power.

Meeting your energy needs can balance mind, body, and spirit to create a vibrant life.

Firstly, Leaders are naturally inquisitive, which leads them on a quest for knowledge. Leaders are hungry for knowledge thus they want to understand life, people, and reality. Reading can be a powerful catalyst for thinking; it has the potential for stimulating   wisdom . A long while ago, I heard someone say, “Leaders are readers.” It made a big impression on me, and I never forgot it. Of course, it doesn’t follow that all readers are leaders, but I think we can safely say with little exception, all leaders are readers . One of the best sources of knowledge is books since they usually offer the most in-depth information on any given topic. Anyone who is inclined to immerse themselves in learning has at least one of the innate qualities it takes to be a leader. Reading books expands our vocabularies Your communication is only as good as your vocabulary, which is directly linked to your intelligence. Leaders must be at the very least articulate.

Balancing Emotions

As human we operate on emotions and most of the decisions we take is influenced by our emotion, while we justify it logically. Emotions like anger, love, hate, sadness, fear, joy have some triggers to excite those specific emotions. Some horror movie scene triggers the fear in us, seeing someone we have crush triggers the love feeling in us and so on. There are three parts to an emotion: 1.       A subjective component (how you experience the emotion) 2.      A physiological component (how your bodies react to the emotion) 3.      An expressive component (how you behave in response to the emotion). These different elements can play a role in the function and purpose of your emotional responses. Emotions can be short-lived, such as a flash of annoyance at a co-worker, or long-lasting, such as enduring sadness over the loss of a relationship. But why exactly do we experience emotions? What role do they se...

Building Strong Mental Health

Mental health influences how you think, feel and behave in daily life . Psychology often discusses mental health -- but what’s not often discussed is a clear definition of mental strength. To me, mental strength means that you regulate your emotions, manage your thoughts, and behave in a positive manner, despite your circumstances. Developing mental strength is about finding the courage to live according to your values and being bold enough to create your own definition of success. People who are mentally healthy have A sense of contentment A zest for living and the ability to laugh and have fun. The ability to deal with stress and bounce back from adversity. A sense of meaning and purpose, in both their activities and their relationships. The flexibility to learn new skills and adapt to change. A balance between work and play, rest and activity, etc. The ability to build and maintain fulfilling relationships. Self-confidence ...
