5 Everyday Habits That Drain Your Energy…

And How to Take It Back

Let’s be real life is busy, people are loud and your nervous system is probably running on caffeine and vibes. If you’re feeling chronically tired, emotionally exhausted, or like your energy is always just off... it’s not just in your head. You might be caught in a cycle of everyday energy drains.

As an energy therapist, I see it all the time: small, unconscious habits that quietly deplete your energy field and leave you feeling ungrounded, anxious, or burned out. But the good news? You can shift it starting now.

Here are 5 everyday habits that could be draining your energy (and what to do instead):

💬 1. Saying “yes” when you really mean “no”

People-pleasing is an energy leak disguised as kindness. Every time you override your own needs to avoid disappointing others, you're training your energy to stretch beyond its limits.

Take it back:
Practice sacred “no’s.” Protect your energy by honouring your boundaries—even if it feels uncomfortable at first. Boundaries are energetic self-respect.

📱 2. Scrolling first thing in the morning

Waking up and diving into notifications, opinions, and comparison is like letting 100 people shout into your aura before you’ve even had coffee.

Take it back:
Start your day with you. Even 5 minutes of stillness, breathwork, or intention-setting will help you ground your energy before the world gets a say.

💭 3. Overthinking everything

Constant mental chatter burns energy just as fast as physical activity. Replay loops, decision fatigue, and worrying about things you can’t control zap your vibrational field.

Take it back:
Try this energy therapist tip: pause, breathe, and ask, “Is this mine to carry?” Use grounding tools like journaling, tapping (EFT), or a quick aura cleanse to reset.

👥 4. Spending time with draining people

You know the ones after just a short convo, you feel tired, agitated, or heavy. That’s your body telling you your energy field has been impacted.

Take it back:
Use energetic boundaries and protective visualisations (like wrapping yourself in golden light). Choose to surround yourself with people who uplift, not deplete.

🍟 5. Neglecting your body’s energy needs

Skipping meals, ignoring rest, pushing through tiredness it all chips away at your life force. Your body is the vessel for your energy. It needs care.

Take it back:
Hydrate. Rest. Eat grounding foods. Move your body in gentle ways. Book in for energy healing to recharge at a deep level.

✨ Final Thoughts

Energy fatigue isn’t just physical it’s energetic. And when we bring awareness to how we leak energy in daily life, we can start to protect it more fiercely.

You don’t have to live in a constant state of depletion.

As an energy therapist, I offer tools, sessions, and guidance to help you come back to your center—clear, grounded, and connected.
