When you constantly lack energy

You already know from my previous posts that energy helps to reach our goals, it is the fuel for our will power and self-discipline.

• If you always feel tired and run down, you will struggle a lot to bring positive changes into your life. Moreover, at some point you might notice that it is fewer and fewer things you can handle, and they will start disappearing from your life.
• If you don’t have enough energy you will only be able to maintain whatever already exists in your reality. Let’s talk about what usually happens when you lack energy.
• If you don’t have enough sleep, if you exhaust yourself at work or by taking care of your family and everyone but you, then no wonder you don’t have enough resources to change things you are not happy about.

Moreover, if you lack energy on a regular basis, you start loosing good things. It is like dumping ballast when your hot air balloon can’t take off. The less energy you have, the less things you can handle. You lose energy each time you suppress anger, anxiety, resentment, or when you are stuck feeling shamed and guilty, suffer from being rejected or blamed.
