I always thought energy was something you either had or didn’t have.
I’d wake up feeling unstoppable on some days.
And on others, I could barely drag myself out of bed.
“Why does this shift in energy levels exist?”
I was the problem.
Not my responsibilities.
Not my work.
Not the mysterious lack of motivation.
My own daily choices led me to draining my energy – every single day.
Energy isn’t handed out in unlimited crates.
It’s not something we stumble upon when suddenly sleeping great one night.
Energy is created.
I treated it like it was unlimited.
I burned myself out.
I skipped rest.
I wasn’t exactly living intentionally and taking care of my energy.
So, what steals your energy?
Exhaustion isn’t really a mystery.
Look at your daily habits and they’ll show you why you’re tired.
Treating caffeine as fuel and skipping sleep.
Scrolling endlessly instead of real rest.
Saying yes to everything and leaving no time for recovery.
Running on stress instead of nourishment.
When you take responsibility and stop hoping for energy to build up.
When you prioritize rest and skip that “one more episode”.
When you choose habits that fuel you like more physical activity and less stress.
When you start living intentionally and accept that not everything deserves your time.
You’ll feel unstoppable and your life changes.
What can you change today to take back control?
Remember, you’re both the problem and the solution.
You can change your habits.
You can become more energized.
It’s all within your control.
And when you truly live this short life to its fullest potentials, you’ll be able to die without any regrets.
You won’t feel the need to get 10 more lives to be satisfied.
Choose to live now.
Choose to better yourself now.
Because you aren’t even getting one more chance to live.
