“We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise, we harden.” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Few years ago, I realized that my own life energy was getting exhausted more often than usual. I was getting irritated easily, frustrated on the smallest things, angry for silliest stuff and tired beyond measure. It took me a while to realise that this is NOT me.

My default setting, if you know me or ask anyone who knows me is high energy and very bubbly. All those who know me say the same thing. I know this as my truth as well. So, when that very deep dip in energy levels took place years ago, I was forced to look deeper to try and understand why this was happening.

I then decided to take care of myself after feeling completely emotionally drained. Here is how I handled it positively…

How to Recharge your Energy when you feel Emotionally Exhausted

Here my tips for you, which will help you identify too why you are feeling emotionally drained, and what to do about it:

1. Know your potential: Understanding your capabilities, recognizing what you can achieve gives you a sense of accomplishment. if you dont know what your capabilities are, ask your loved ones and friends to tell you what they think your best qualities are.

2. Identitfy the root cause: Whether it’s work-related stress, personal conflicts, or other factors, understanding why you feel drained allows you to find appropriate solutions.

3. Understand your needs and wants in life: Knowing what truly matters to you allows you to prioritize activities & relationships that replenish your emotional reserves and not drain them. Here it is important for you to understand and identify the people/relationships that drain your energy. Sometimes, its the most unexpected ones that we might overlook.

4. Know what bring you joy and energy: Engaging in activities that bring you joy & energy whether it’s spending time with loved ones, pursuing hobbies, or practicing self-care. prioritize activities that uplift you.

5. Engage in non-work activities: Taking breaks from work helps prevent burnout & allows you to recharge emotionally. Devoting time to hobbies, leisure activities, & socializing promotes overall well-being.

6. Detatch yourself from societal expectations: Release yourself from the pressure of conforming to societal norms or meeting others’ expectations. Embrace yourself & focus on what truly matters to you, rather than seeking validation from others.

7. Stop self-sabotaging yourself: Recognize & challenge negative thought patterns/behaviours that undermine your well-being. Cultivate self-compassion & practice positive self-talk.

8. Analyze what you can improve in your life: Reflect on areas of your life that could be enhanced or changed to better support your emotional well-being. Setting achievable goals & taking proactive steps towards self-improvement.

9. Allow yourself to rest: Prioritize rest & relaxation to recharge both physically and emotionally.

Ofcourse after enough reflection, I realized that I was over worked and needed rest and sleep. Which was not something I ever thought was a priority until this energy dip happened. I also realised that there were certain things/people/relationships(the ones we least expect) in my life that were sucking the energy right out of me, who I thne gently distanced myself from.

Implementing these strategies helped me regain my emotional balance and restore my energy. They can help you too.

Remember that it’s important to be patient with yourself and recognize that recovery takes time.
