7 Micro Habits That Drain Your Mental Battery — And How to Fix Them
When you can’t pinpoint the cause of your burnout, it’s probably one of these energy-sucking habits
My grandpa once told me:
“If you don’t change your (bad) habits on time, then those habits WILL change your time.”
And then asked me a simple question, “How are you feeling today?”
I had been asked this question countless times, but for some reason, that day, it suddenly struck a nerve.
I realized that I had been going through the motions of my daily routine without taking the time to check in with myself.
I was so focused on crossing items off my to-do list that I hadn’t even noticed how depleted my mental energy was. I was constantly on the go without noticing that my brain and body were fatigued.
When I started journaling, I became more aware of my daily habits. It was then I realized how much mental energy they consumed.
And once I identified these energy-draining habits, I could make some simple tweaks that helped me feel more energetic and productive throughout the day.
