So, where does this tiredness come from? 😮‍💨

Of course, there can be different reasons: illnesses, depression, fatigue, or underestimating the intensity of your workload.

But today, I want to tell you about unexpected factors that drain our energy, and that you might not even realize!

- Procrastination and anticipation 😵‍💫

You need to do something unpleasant, and you keep postponing it. Anxiety builds, difficult feelings arise, and soon your energy is spent battling those emotions.

- Expecting the worst and catastrophizing 😥

When you’re expecting something bad and keep spiraling into negative thoughts, both your mind and body tense up. Constant negative emotions drain all your strength, leaving you exhausted and apathetic.

- Suppressing emotions 😤

Holding negativity inside takes a lot of energy to keep those emotions bottled up. This not only depletes you but also poisons your body!

- Ignoring your own needs 😕

When we neglect our own desires, we waste energy maintaining an unnatural state of being.

- Comparing yourself to others 🙄

Constant comparisons and drawing negative conclusions about yourself lower self-esteem, creating fear and insecurity.

- Interacting with unpleasant people 😬

Dealing with toxic people saps your energy and leaves you feeling drained.

- Unhealthy environment 😔

Whether it’s at work, home, or in a relationship, a negative social-psychological climate can be a real energy vampire.

- Negative content 🫤

Doomscrolling and immersing yourself in negative content emotionally exhausts you, triggering anxiety and unpleasant feelings.

- Feeling like you're doing the wrong thing 😧

When we do something we don’t like, it takes more effort and energy. A lot of energy is spent fighting internal resistance.

- Self-criticism 😓

Constant self-criticism destroys your self-confidence and creates ongoing emotional tension that saps your strength.

- Repressing self-expression ❌

Being unable to express your thoughts and feelings is oppressive and creates internal stress, which drains your energy.

- Saying yes to things you don’t need 😒

When we agree to things we don’t want or that don’t suit us, we lose energy on unnecessary activities.

Use this list as a guide to improving your well-being by gradually removing these factors from your life. ✅
