When your energy is drained, everything feels heavier. Conversations exhaust you. Decisions confuse you. Even good things feel like effort. But when your energy is protected, life flows differently. You respond instead of react. You choose instead of settle. You attract instead of chase.

Protecting your energy doesn’t mean isolating yourself. It means becoming selective. With people. With commitments. With emotions you allow to stay inside you. Not everything deserves access to your time, your body, your attention.

This year, think less about doing more and more about feeling better. Rest without guilt. Say no without explanation. Choose environments that calm you instead of stimulate you. Choose connections that nourish instead of drain.

Your energy is not unlimited.
But when respected, it becomes powerful.

Spend it wisely - and your life will start rewarding you in ways effort never could.
