I’m 42, I still feel this way. Energy Drains: binge eat, scrolling, comparing myself to people half my age doing better financially? Energized by: Morning routine that’s not rushed, meditating, coffee and journal, gym.
*sigh* It's not black and white. There are more than two choices. You can not have the energy to do something and then do it and then still not have energy. Repeat that long enough and you get demoralization or burnout. It's a huge issue. If people got energy after they did stuff without fail, we would be looking at a very different society
Never said it was black and white? It doesn’t need to be to resonate with someone. You’re doing the whole this one concept presented as it is doesn’t apply to me so I must comment to make that clear thing - good job? *sigh*
Depends on if you have thyroid disease and adrenal insufficiency. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try and do but you don’t get a rush after exercise, you do it and then just want to lay down
I get this as I had to have my thyroid removed due to thyroid disease and have had my share of adrenal issues as a result but we, as willing consumers of social media do not have to stop and tell the person simply putting out some potentially useful information that their advice does not work for our very specific reasons. It’s the whole “but I don’t like beans” bean soup recipe phenomenon. If this doesn’t work for you that’s ok! You don’t need to tell everyone or the person offering advice. Just let it not work and move on. It works for some and that’s ok too!
“Stop thinking and start doing” is a huge problem for me. I overthink everything… and it leaves me exhausted and paralyzed by fear. I want to change my life radically but all I can see is a million things that could go wrong if I take a huge leap. And I feel like I don’t have the energy to take all of the little steps it would take me to get where I want to be. I’m afraid I will miss a step or realize I made a huge mistake and there is no going back. I am a single mom and terrified of making a wrong decision and putting my kids in a bad situation, so I make no moves and make the decision to change nothing, and I am miserable for it. Thank you so much for your content! Wish me luck guys! ❤
I want to encourage you to give yourself some grace. Maybe what would help is doing the next best thing that is in front of you, whatever helps you feel like you had a small win for the day. Hug your kids and know that giving them that extra few seconds is a win. Maybe you could: Start with the tiny step/task that you think will improve your day by 1%. Know that if it doesn't help that you have the choice to stop doing it. Give yourself permission to fail/not reach that goal if it's not leading you to where you want to be in life. A question I ask myself is: Is Choice A leading me to be closer to my ideal life or away from the life I want? And then the 2nd question is: Is there one action/task I can do today to help myself get closer to my ideal life? I'm still learning how to do this. I hope you find what works for you. Blessings, Dot
Overthinking and getting exhausted before even starting doing anything is sign of perfectionism. Which is trauma response. You are afraid to fail. Although, success is not a straight route and failures come along the way. Trust yourself.
My therapist says people are more inclined to change when they are in a position that 1. Forces them to change or 2. You literally cant take the way you are currently living so you change on your own. Most of us are doing the best we can. Its a lot of small steps, small wins/failures that lead up to the big change. Hopefully you work to retain that positive change but life isn’t linear.
Suppressed calling drains energy. Procrastination, going in loops, self sabotage sucks life force… Taking action toward inner calling releases energy and makes me high on life 🎉 I wonder, how do you feel after posting this video, I bet you are flying 🔥
How do you find your calling? All I know is I want my freedom being stuck at a desk for 8 hours staring at a screen is literally like torture to me. But I need to make money of course
I found your channel by scrolling randomly. It's funny how life is pushing me to go forward. Every video relates to me. We are going on this journey together I see.
You're not tired you're empty. Bordom leads to desire and desire leads to vices which lead to self sabotage. Purpose over pleasure. Habits create results. Create good habits you'll be less inclinced to skip on disciplines in tough or tired times. Once the sub conscious is feed good habits you'll experience skipping' as guilt. Also... I'm not talking at anyone. Reflecting on my own shit here 😂
That’s the type of comment a love to see. I’m positing these types of videos to help “me” so I can find people like you. I want us to find each other and I’m grateful it’s working
As someone with multiple hobbies/ two jobs and countless other things going on I can just tell you that if you wait for the motivation to start doing something you’ll never do it sadly. Motivation rarely comes first. The hardest part is forcing/ making yourself start doing it and then motivation and joy comes. Eg: I enjoy art. It brings me immense happiness every time I draw and get I couldn’t bring myself to draw at all. So I told myself just a quick 1-5 minute sketch and that sketch turned into hours since I gained the energy and motivation and happiness to do it. So I’d say find what works to make you just start doing it and the rest will come! Also another thing, 5 minutes each day is better than nothing so don’t feel guilty you can’t do much.
Yes, this! When I do my hobbies for like 5 mins when i don't feel like it, they start making me happy thus improving my mental health, THEN i have motivation to do more 😊
Literally you are me! When I found this video, I had just wasted half my day, called a good friend of mine to pep talk me into doing what I’m supposed to do. We ended up having a 2hr good conversation and literally I got off the phone and did 2 tasks that felt like moving a mountain prior the call. This video is a life hack. Thank you so much!
I used to try and self optimize every single habit and my mental state as well thinking that would make me super successful. It didn't. It made me miserable and stressed out. Now my focus isn't success or discipline but just enjoying what I can.
I've hit a rough depression patch these last couple of weeks. I am so tired and overwhelmed. I like the tips you gave. I am resting a lot this week, took some time away from work, and doing very small things to keep going. Have you looked into adhd? Learning more about it has helped me accept myself and find strategies for my brain wiring. I set 5 minute timers to get started on things. In spite of still having depression, I have been way more consistent getting tasks done. I recently did a 40 hours fast because I was so burned out I didn't wanna cook or even eat. I had the time off work, so I decided to make it therapeutic. Got some electrolytes, rested, prayed, and made it a mindful fast. It brought me some peace! I'm not saying fasting is for everyone, definitely check with a doctor first. You make a good point on several things..I agree if you make yourself do things when you're resisting, it feels SO good afterwards. I also agree its best to be away from complaining and negative people. I try to keep the venting to my own journal or therapy. My new goal for this week: I'm gonna sit down and write my energizer list, and make that vision board like you suggested. By the way your makeup is really pretty!
Hear ya! I am 2X your age, but that’s no excuse. In the last year I have completely flipped to a low energy person with a lot of anxiety. I believe in or feel like I know that I attract things in my life, and after the first few hours of the day which I try to prep myself for attracting a good life, I slip and tumble down a dark hole…like almost daily! Then I spend every night trying to escape the drama I experienced all day.
The algorithm brought me here, thank you for being honest! I will say, as someone who is late 30s and making changes in several areas of my life...I am drained. Not enough of fun and love, too much responsibility and doing tasks for others or 'to-do-lists'. I find focusing on my dreams on a tangible way (actively breaking down how to live my dream) gives me motivation. Thank you for making this video.
After practicing something over and over again, it becomes second nature. And sometimes we need REST to regroup and then our energy comes back. We are people, not machines. It’s okay to rest, regroup and reset. And you’re right, more often than not, we have to force ourselves to do _______ (whatever) and after we do, we feel better.
oh my god, bianca... that was the first video of yours that was ever recommended to me and im asking myself if you're my twin in spirit... i have the EXACT same things that energize me. (hydration+caffeine, deep convos, inspiring each other, doing physical work first thing in the morning, deeply understanding a new concept and being excited by it, 15 minute of closing eyes, etc.) this is just CRAZY! wow! i rarely ever leave comments like these, but i HAD to let you know that you are the first person i have EVER heard verbalize the same things that give me energy. AND i have the exact same struggles when it comes to fasting compulsively and then ending up binge eating (due to my ADHD and weird stomach issues). i loved the entire video. thank you for doing this.
I have a tip for people who want to read more: When thinking about it, if we make the goal "do more" there's the potential for us to feel guilt from "underachieving." Your goal of stretching "after waking up" is good because waking up works as a reminder/prompt. Try starting with a book you know you like and make the goal, something like "read 10 pages at dinner time" (while it's cooking or after eating) 🍀💗💗💗💗
It sounds like the things that energize you are things that set your soul on fire! You even got warm by talking about it. And the things that drain you are misaligned with your core soul frequency. Your body will always guide you! ❤
Finally someone that gets me!! I figured out that every medal has two sides, the front and the back. There will be no medal in the world that exists with only two fronts. Or: you can‘t follow all the good habits at the same time since some good habits are tied to a certain model of identity
you are already doing what you need to do! eating well and exercise. I try to walk a lot and lift light weights at home when I remember or arm bands, but I'm a 38 year old single mom to a 3.5 year old. all my energy goes in to work and him. I work 40 hours a week in an office. its enough just to eat decent and remember to breathe and go to bed at a decent time...
You are A BRIGHT AMAZING STAR ⭐️ don’t forget to rest and take care of yourself… also go easy on yourself mamas.. your doing this thing called life just fine😘 and it def shows that you actually are motivated and have the will power to change your life bc you made this video highlighting all the positive things that you do, do! So keep shining, DONT GIVE UP!
Thank you for reminding me of who I used to be. After hanging around the wrong people I made the wrong decisions and then I went through housing crisis and now job issues. All because of the wrong people and draining my energy Iv forgotten my routine and now I have to make a new vision for myself.
This video speaks to me on such a deep level. I'm currently looking to do a massive change in my career, but I have NO energy. This video is a real wake-up call. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I love the fact that you’re talking about some thing that we’re all fighting with. Me personally I do stretch every morning. I have to get up at four in the morning in order to do it because I have to be at work at five. Now that I’m older when I don’t stretch, I feel it throughout my body and I noticed I’m a mean person
Hi Bianca. Hope you find your peace within. A minute into your video and I felt like you’re describing me. I just turned 30 and realized that depression exists in many forms. Some of us may seem to have it all together on the outside- eating well, sleeping, exercising, working a full time job, parenting, attending social events- inside though we feel out of sync. I have learnt to be grateful for little things and trying to live in the moment. That gives me peace. Hope you find yours soon 💕 from Canada
The big trick of the ego, I am a body, and something outside is giving me energy/Joy, must eat better, exercise more. Was here too a few years ago. The energy (love) you are looking for comes from inside, your conditioned mind is getting to negative, because of judging. And judging thoughts, like must improve and stuff, those judgment ideas are seeking energy/love from outside. You can train your mind, so love comes from inside. But the school systems trained your mind to drain your energy. And the down spiral is increasing more and more because of those thinking patterns they teach you. ❤️❤️❤️
Joe Dispenza says use the body to condition the mind too rather than force the mind to feel zen or motivated etc. However i am watching this on the sofa having become sedentary and intending to meditate for 20 years....
For me my adhd medication helped with energy. My lack of energy was extreme. I had no idea I had adhd, but in retrospect I did, but most of it was in my head. I actually get stuff done. In my case I had no energy for things that energized me. I accomplished things for two weeks, max a month and lose steam. The mere intent was enough for me to feel an energy drop.
I think the thing that gets me too is I don’t know what I’m supposed to be inspired about, like a lot of people inspire for wealth, money, travel, extreme fitness but these things don’t appeal to me. I enjoy the arts but I’m not talented at anything specifically so it’s like there is no purpose to progressing anything because other people are there already. I feel like anything I might try will be pointless. Thanks for the video, it describes exactly where I am at.
You are a professional athlete. That IS your life. The amount of training, practice and discipline to reach and stay at that level is exhausting in and of itself. The way you're feeling is why you are successful today. You may never read more, meditate more or whatever it is you're pursuing but you will always strive to do those things and that's what is most important. Stay hungry. If you want a blunt answer your question though, I think once you retire from soccer, you'll probably have more time and energy to do these other things. 😉
Does it get easier ?Yes! “Well Accepting what we are “ does. Gets better? NO, lol. Worse! 58, BUT yah gotta laugh & smile. EVERYTHING is a losing fight! You just got to think of it this way, our benefit is that we got a Headstart on this! I got this “not getting started thing down, daily overwhelm” DOWN PAT! I am seeing people 2,5-10 years down the road ahead me, moaning & complaining. They don’t feel like doing this. I can’t get themselves to that. They’re sick and dont feel like doing anything…afraid of this and afraid of that…. I’m prepared for ALL that!! I’m in great shape! eat healthy!. I’m gonna be a pro at this whole decline of the body of mind thing. Iv’e been in the state that. Youre talking about since I’ve been 5, I got into kindergarten thought. “Oh crap, this life thing is gonna be tough.” -wally
Seriously though you are inspirational. I’m just gonna play this video every once in a while throughout my ADD days. And I know what you mean, it’s when you come across a real three-dimensional person… it’s like the sun comes out and you can really talk and you can really be alive. What you need to watch out for, is the un-social creep, the b**** sneaks up on you, you are like “Friends? Oh yeah, I remember friends.”
I totally feel this. I have had chronic fatigue since I was 12 due to incredibly tenacious chronic infections. I sometimes have no energy to nap or rest!! Tired and wired. The struggle is real. What works for me when I’m totally exhausted is resting mixed with activity. I too am also energized by socializing and conversing. It’s a life saver, for real. It’s sad though because I’m in my 40’s and my friends are all so busy. Luckily just going out around people helps me, like reading at a coffee shop. And the worst thing for me is getting sucked into my phone!! Mindless scrolling depletes me. But it’s hard to put the phone down.
sounds like you’re burnt out. i burnt out hard and stopped enjoying life. i quit my career, took a less stressful job. i now love my mornings. i wake up 1 1/2 hrs before work and ease into the day. I found by slowing down my focus changed and i could more clearly see what actually makes me happy . multi tasking and achieving maximum efficiency while chasing other people’s dreams will leave you miserable. BTW, i’m actually healthier and wealthier now. it’s counterintuitive, but slowing down is what you actually need to find better focus and energy. just a thought. when we try to do it all we actually get nothing done.
I am experiencing the same issue and I have for some years now. I am in menopause so I know that is contributing to it. The other things that kind of bring my energy down is that I’ve had several losses of family members and friends in recent years. The biggest loss lately has been that of my only sibling my brother. In the past six years since he left as I’ve been kind of going through the motions. Also, I am the caretaker for senior parents and they have a lot of health problems. My dad just had a cardiac surgery about three days ago and I’ve been lethargic ever since. I’m so glad I found your channel and I am a new subscriber. Thank you for making Content like this and I hope you keep doing what you’re doing because the world needs more people like you.
Oh we are somewhat in the same experience. I'm 47 going through menopause, new empty nester, not a full caregiver but responsible for my mom. somewhat finding out who I am as a now single, empty nester navagating new life.
i literally heard u say “i cant drink caffeine if im not hydrated” while putting down my mug as i was going back to the kitchen to get a glass of water. this is my every day
You don't have to do extra. You are doing what you want. You might be missing things while walking your path. If you want to have deep conversations and learn new things, look around you. You might be able to have conversations with what you didn't think possible.
When I started noticing this about myself, turns out I was dying. I was very sick and didn’t know it. Makes sense now that when I was doing the very thing that always energized me, I was still tired. Unfortunately, I never pulled through and now I’m doing bad financially. However, I know what you mean about self-sabotaging behavior. I have trouble sleeping and whatever opportunities I did have to sleep, I use it to watch other people doing the thing I love doing on tv/social media (like I’m doing now) because I didn’t want to face sleep. Sleep is a source of high anxiety for me because I already have trouble with it so I made it worse by engaging in things that hurts my sleep even more. I have to stop.
What was your diagnosis? Are you doing better health wise? Do you have debt? I’m wondering if you can request forgiveness or go on disability to help the financial concerns.
Oh I so totally get you when you say that you are too tired to be disciplined. One thing that really helped me is energy cleansing. Because it seems like you are doing everything right so that one thing that is missing is this. Try it out and see how much better you will feel right away💜You can do it in meditation,taking salt scrubs(doing both things is amazing) or going to see someone who is an expert at clearing energy.
Omg I was just thinking about writing a comment on how I just learned how to do this in a meditation. For me it helps a lot but today for example, I found myself still getting very tired. I think it might have something to do with working from home and being alone a lot. Do you actually go to someone?
Sounds like you doing something similar to what I did. I told myself I wanted and always ended up questioning it. Then I started telling myself I needed to, and that led to me doing it because I told myself I needed it. Wants are fleeting, but needs are universal. My needs may not be the same as yours, but there’s no denying that we both need what we need.
You’re a breath of fresh air and you were right you did motivate me. In my case I have an adhd brain which I was not aware of until I was 38, only 5 years ago. I honestly believe it was the reason I could not stick to a plan for very long. I feel that stretching is so underrated and I’m suffering from sciatica at the moment and it is affecting my work and family life, for the last 3 years I’ve noticed I cannot get motivated as I could once to start exercising, eating more balanced meals, and lately it hasn’t helped that I work graveyards. Thank you for the really motivational content that goes beneath the surface
Just so you know, not everybody that watches your videos is a female. 😊 I actually enjoy your videos in general. I have your rookie card from your Chicago days in 2021. I am a card collector. Avid TikTok user selling sports cards forever now it seems like. But I really just wanted to reach out and tell you that I know your channels, focus his of course, to empower women, which I think is awesome. I have a 18-year-old daughter and I just think it’s great what you’re doing and I just wanted to tell you.
I think knowledge is power. I like to have those deep ,raw,and unfiltered conversations. I learn so much from others. I just get the intuition what is right. Everyone stretch and drink water. Take it from someone who ran marathons, tennis, part of Everest. Not a professional athlete but thought I dont need to stretch and I love Coke Zero. One day you will wake up and wont be the same so please take that advice. Also I have a hard time with change. I will go down kicking to not have changing situations. Everyday changes so embrace it. As life changes your identity changes and going positive works out much better. I think we all need to love others and ourselves and move forward with energy but also realize our world is draining right now. I think vibe is great but maybe focus on one of your bucket list items and don’t take on too much. But we are all different in what brings out the best in us as individuals. Enjoyed your video
Fatigue is tricky. Monk mode is a good solution, however, what if someone has actually drained their energy from too much ambition? I have done this before, and balance is very important and difficult to maintain. Monk mode is a great idea, don't think I'm not saying that! Part of monk mode could be figuring out the things that need to go so you can rest and have balance. Perhaps.
First of all, you're so sweet and relatable. Thank you for talking about this that not many TH-camrs are talking about! You're so raw and authentic I love it! For me personally I just found out that talking out loud makes me feel better/energized. I dont have any friends so when I do talk out loud I pretend to talk to God and I feel like at least someone is listening! I know it would look creepy to someone else but I don't care. Also, driving really relaxes me. It's almost therapeutic like for me. But honestly I feel like I can definitely cut out some stuff that are draining me like binge eating, not having any time for myself too.
I'm so glad you did this video. I also eat clean, exercise, sleep right, have great mental health and I'm tired all the time. It's nice to know others feel the same! also you should do a skin routine video because your skin is so moisturized and glowing!
Hi I hope are you okay 💓I just I would like to say thank you very much because you were able to translate my problem that I was not able to say and know about it to the point that I re-listened to the video twice because I was affected by it. Tomorrow will be the first day in which I apply a method that I felt solved my problem My suffering with laziness reached the point of depression for a year without doing anything. I lost my education, my money, and even my relationship with friends and family, and all of this is because I am no longer responsible. I see myself as going into danger and I do not do anything, but I made a promise to myself to fix everything I ruined with my lack of responsibility. Towards my life, thank you. You helped me a lot with this video. I wish you a good life ❤
Your beaming with beauty as well….keep shining life and peace to your self preservation and restoration in solving your energy growth in these times of ascension….and make time to let your self rest so you can absorb and grow with your new found knowledge of self…. much thanks for sharing being of the moment of transforming by doing.
This is so good and feels like perfect timing for me to receive this message since I was just thinking about this today! I’m working on basics like staying hydrated, eating yummy healthy foods that support brain health, going outside, and keeping a clean space to nurture my creativity.
I think we go through stages in life, and if you want to read more, meditate, and do more activities that are internal based and not physical, or external, like your career as a soccer player, I would say those things will come with time. This is what I tell myself. I have other interests, but I don’t have time for them right now, but I’m expecting to live along time, and those other interests will serve me when I am ready for them. also, I would say because your physically well you will have the health and longevity in your life to eventually get around to the other things. Some people never get their health and check thus they’re not able to enjoy the other activities down the road because they die early. or they’re sick.
Great video. You're doing something different from the other self-improvement gurus (let's call them that). I felt directly addressed. Just a note, I don't think it's necessary for you to wear so much makeup for your videos. It only makes you more authentic if you present yourself as you are.
We have unlimited energy, we need to just tap into that, there are behaviours and actions likethe one you mentioned that do actually give us more energy "paradoxically"- exercising doesnt "cost" us energy, it gives us energy. Doomscrolling mindlessly costs energy. Complaining and gossiping costs us energy. Negative beliefs deplete us while positive beliefs refill us and boost us. Thanks for the video. You can sense that you care about this topic and that you are excited about talking about it
Thank you, Bianca. Great advice. Even when you’re successful and doing good… life can STILL be difficult. For me, morning coffee.. I do my planner daily and try to track finances. Then I work. I workout 3 days a week if I can and I read a chapter 3 days out of the week as well. Often more. I digress though. Life is hard even when you’re doing good.
When you talked about" deeper conversations" and "wisdom" raising your energy levels, almost made me cry. I was casually watching your video and I felt so seen and heard.
This is so interesting because I’m the opposite. I’m so disciplined in a morning routine: reading, meditation, yoga, etc. before even checking my phone. I am so disciplined in the mindset area, but not so disciplined in the physical health area. I will eat clean for a few days, and then indulge in fast food for days after. I’ve made my exercise goal smaller smaller, but yet I still can’t even commit to 30 minutes of exercise a day. It doesn’t make sense.
I watched so many videos but this one hits different, writing what energizes and drains you? I am gonna try this for sure, tq for sharing ur knowledge🎉
The title alone was completely relatable lol💯!!! But seriously I've been on my own "self-improvement" journey for the past 3-4 years or so and the main thing I've always struggled with most was feeling burned out non-stop, procrastinating from analysis paralysis, and like I'm in this constant loop of going from extreme highs to rock bottom... Lately I've been feeling really inspired to get my life "back on track", but like I BARELY even have the energy to do simple things, let alone trying to improve it!! But I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one going thru this because sometimes this journey can get and feel lonely af. Thank you posting this despite being nervous lol💕☺
Praise the Lord for putting this on my feed! Jesus Christ can fill that void. Come to Him and watch how you will be so filled. If you keep trying other things in this world, you will feel the same….empty.
Living with chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain and a mental health challenge called bipolar spectrum disorder I find it hard to do anything. Some days im better than others but the last 2 weeks I am struggling with a flare-up of pain and tiredness and a corresponding flare-up of bipolar depression... My energy comes from coffee and keeping warm (as we head into autumn and winter here in South Eastern Australia). Also by doing the tiniest thing I have to do (washing a mug) or writing a list of things I want to do. Cuddles with my cat Shadow turns into resetting his food area, putting the rubbish and recycling in the big bins, tidying up the kitchen and doing the washing up. Im learning if I do the things I enjoy first then they usually trigger me to do something I need to do to manage my life. Blessings, Dot
As a coach, I always pass forward to get out of rut is to take break. Literally break the routine and experiment. At the end of the day, we have to live.. in slow days & even rollercoaster days. At the last breath, all we have are memories & experiences.
Thank you for sharing this ! I am feeling this as well. I am a new dad at 44 with a 1y/o son that I want to be energized for ! I appreciate your transparency and willingness to share. God Bless !
Oh my goodness, I always get paralyzed by looking at all the things I COULD be doing that I wind up doing nothing but staring around the room for a long time. I think it comes from just trying to figure out how to best spend my time. But I do agree that sometimes just lying down for five minutes to close your eyes can be just as effective as a full nap. I love narrowing down the things that bring me joy and do them as much as I can!
Thank you for this. I also suffer from low energy. I am disciplined in some things, and not others. For example, I walk the neighborhood every day even if I don't feel like it. When I am out driving and running errands, I have energy. Staying home facing my chores is draining. I can be very productive some days, and other days I am just lazy. I do write up to do lists and accomplish a lot, but it's not consistent. 😢
Trying to improve is fine but you’ll never do it all. You have to prioritize and pick a few things that are important to you and will make the greatest impact on your overall goals. Whatever they are…
literally do a strict ketogenic diet, carnivore is the best version of this. Your energy and thinking improves drastically. Low energy is primarily due to diet. Dont listen to people who dismiss this or disagree, just try it for a couple of weeks and find out for yourself.
This was such a helpful video! For so long I have had tons of self-improvement goals and have been aware of the ways I have been self sabotaging. I never new/understood why I always felt too tired to do all these things. The way you explain this is so helpful to digest and SO incredibly relevant. Each element you laid out makes sense to the ways I have been feeling/thinking. The self sabotage due to not knowing yourself is GOLDEN and really hit home. So often we are told today that we are tired due to a lack of self care or rest, but for some time now, that hasn't been the case for me. I would hear/see that content and feel the disconnect. However, I didn't understand, until seeing your video, what to do to not feel so tired and blocked from doing the things that in my heart, I wanted to do and areas of myself I wanted to improve. I don't need more rest (I am getting that) as self-care culture says. I need to find out what energizes me, what drains me, get to know myself, and include those things in my day to improve. Thank you for sharing these thoughts!
I just searched for "NO ENERGY" and this was recommended. Honestly, I was not expecting anything more than every one ELSE says, but I can't help trying again and again for better or new info/ideas. This is a pretty killer video with some interesting things for me to ponder. thank you!!! subscribed...whoever you are. 😆 When I get done watching what else I've put in my que for today, I'll come back and see what ELSE ya have! ❤
Girl you just popped up on my feed and I subscribed in like 2 minutes because you just completely resonated with me and I cant wait to watch all your videos. Its amazing how, if you keep an eye out, the right things always come into your life! Welcome to my life :)
I usually don't leave comments but I FELT this so much. Like... Jeez, every next word out of your mouth was describing my reality for quite some time. Thank you for being so OPEN, humble and vulnerable. By telling your story and trying to assist us, you are creating magic ❤ although I have never been an athlete, I am a mom of two, full time working, and love so many things to do like gaming, art, exercise but definitely struggling with feeling drained and constantly loosing that discipline due to house work, tiredness.. It is such a vicious circle. But this gave me hope, definitely will look into what is draining me, never thought about that. Thank you 🌹❤
I feel this. I’ve learned we can only do so many things. I had a checklist of “habits” to form but I had to accept that I can’t do all the things. I have to focus on what’s most important.
Perfect video. I love this, "If you can't own the morning, you can't own the day." The morning is the hardest. Also, I share the same thing about surface convos. They are boring, I want to learn something or be able to take something away if I invest my time. Lastly, your social media take is awesome. I've never thought about it as having a purpose instead of just going there bc you're bored. Going to implement this. Excellent video. Ty. 🤙🙏
It’s so interesting hearing that even at your level that it also takes a lot of discipline and consistency for you to stretch and wake up. These are the same struggles that everyone faces. I can see you definitely have a growth mindset, looking forward to more videos. Good game last night, welcome to NC!
I’m 42, I still feel this way. Energy Drains: binge eat, scrolling, comparing myself to people half my age doing better financially?
Energized by: Morning routine that’s not rushed, meditating, coffee and journal, gym.
🙏🏾💪🏽
@thephoenix-bf5qdwhat is TRT
drink mountain dew my boy im 47, and on trt. Vitamin D, im good. so far.
you just need to eat right, exercise, yoga, do breathing exercises and chill out , cut out social media and study basic Buddhist philosophy
Helloooo??!!! I actually meed to double check if I didn't write this. This is me lol
The TH-cam algorithm really said “for you” this is on point.
Right!!!!
YUP!!!! Except I had to search for "I have no energy" but STILL...timing man. I LOVED this video!
same gurl, same 🙃
You don’t get energy before doing something, you get it after 🤯
Omg 😮
*sigh*
It's not black and white. There are more than two choices. You can not have the energy to do something and then do it and then still not have energy. Repeat that long enough and you get demoralization or burnout. It's a huge issue. If people got energy after they did stuff without fail, we would be looking at a very different society
Never said it was black and white? It doesn’t need to be to resonate with someone. You’re doing the whole this one concept presented as it is doesn’t apply to me so I must comment to make that clear thing - good job? *sigh*
Depends on if you have thyroid disease and adrenal insufficiency. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try and do but you don’t get a rush after exercise, you do it and then just want to lay down
I get this as I had to have my thyroid removed due to thyroid disease and have had my share of adrenal issues as a result but we, as willing consumers of social media do not have to stop and tell the person simply putting out some potentially useful information that their advice does not work for our very specific reasons. It’s the whole “but I don’t like beans” bean soup recipe phenomenon. If this doesn’t work for you that’s ok! You don’t need to tell everyone or the person offering advice. Just let it not work and move on. It works for some and that’s ok too!
“Stop thinking and start doing” is a huge problem for me. I overthink everything… and it leaves me exhausted and paralyzed by fear. I want to change my life radically but all I can see is a million things that could go wrong if I take a huge leap. And I feel like I don’t have the energy to take all of the little steps it would take me to get where I want to be. I’m afraid I will miss a step or realize I made a huge mistake and there is no going back. I am a single mom and terrified of making a wrong decision and putting my kids in a bad situation, so I make no moves and make the decision to change nothing, and I am miserable for it. Thank you so much for your content! Wish me luck guys! ❤
Good luck, but most importantly, create your luck ✨🫶🏼
I want to encourage you to give yourself some grace.
Maybe what would help is doing the next best thing that is in front of you, whatever helps you feel like you had a small win for the day.
Hug your kids and know that giving them that extra few seconds is a win.
Maybe you could:
Start with the tiny step/task that you think will improve your day by 1%. Know that if it doesn't help that you have the choice to stop doing it.
Give yourself permission to fail/not reach that goal if it's not leading you to where you want to be in life.
A question I ask myself is:
Is Choice A leading me to be closer to my ideal life or away from the life I want? And then the 2nd question is:
Is there one action/task I can do today to help myself get closer to my ideal life?
I'm still learning how to do this.
I hope you find what works for you.
Blessings, Dot
Omg yes girl. I feel how you feel. May we be able to make major mindset changes this year. Sending love and support your way!! 🙏🏽✨
Overthinking and getting exhausted before even starting doing anything is sign of perfectionism. Which is trauma response. You are afraid to fail. Although, success is not a straight route and failures come along the way. Trust yourself.
I'm 46 amd I feel the SAME WAY
My therapist says people are more inclined to change when they are in a position that 1. Forces them to change or 2. You literally cant take the way you are currently living so you change on your own. Most of us are doing the best we can. Its a lot of small steps, small wins/failures that lead up to the big change. Hopefully you work to retain that positive change but life isn’t linear.
Suppressed calling drains energy. Procrastination, going in loops, self sabotage sucks life force… Taking action toward inner calling releases energy and makes me high on life 🎉 I wonder, how do you feel after posting this video, I bet you are flying 🔥
Damn... That first sentence hit my soul!! Your comment just turned into a daily reminder for myself. Thank you 🤓💯
Hmm this truly makes sense 🔥
How do you find your calling? All I know is I want my freedom being stuck at a desk for 8 hours staring at a screen is literally like torture to me. But I need to make money of course
I found your channel by scrolling randomly. It's funny how life is pushing me to go forward. Every video relates to me. We are going on this journey together I see.
Same! We got this
Same here! She's speaking my next steps! 🎉😂
You're not tired you're empty.
Bordom leads to desire and desire leads to vices which lead to self sabotage. Purpose over pleasure.
Habits create results. Create good habits you'll be less inclinced to skip on disciplines in tough or tired times. Once the sub conscious is feed good habits you'll experience skipping' as guilt.
Also... I'm not talking at anyone. Reflecting on my own shit here 😂
Same
That’s the type of comment a love to see. I’m positing these types of videos to help “me” so I can find people like you. I want us to find each other and I’m grateful it’s working
As someone with multiple hobbies/ two jobs and countless other things going on I can just tell you that if you wait for the motivation to start doing something you’ll never do it sadly. Motivation rarely comes first. The hardest part is forcing/ making yourself start doing it and then motivation and joy comes. Eg: I enjoy art. It brings me immense happiness every time I draw and get I couldn’t bring myself to draw at all. So I told myself just a quick 1-5 minute sketch and that sketch turned into hours since I gained the energy and motivation and happiness to do it. So I’d say find what works to make you just start doing it and the rest will come! Also another thing, 5 minutes each day is better than nothing so don’t feel guilty you can’t do much.
Yes, this! When I do my hobbies for like 5 mins when i don't feel like it, they start making me happy thus improving my mental health, THEN i have motivation to do more 😊
"Tired of being tired"...thats exactly one of mantras! Love you.
Literally you are me!
When I found this video, I had just wasted half my day, called a good friend of mine to pep talk me into doing what I’m supposed to do. We ended up having a 2hr good conversation and literally I got off the phone and did 2 tasks that felt like moving a mountain prior the call. This video is a life hack. Thank you so much!
You’re doing amazing 🥰
I used to try and self optimize every single habit and my mental state as well thinking that would make me super successful. It didn't. It made me miserable and stressed out. Now my focus isn't success or discipline but just enjoying what I can.

I've hit a rough depression patch these last couple of weeks. I am so tired and overwhelmed. I like the tips you gave. I am resting a lot this week, took some time away from work, and doing very small things to keep going. Have you looked into adhd? Learning more about it has helped me accept myself and find strategies for my brain wiring. I set 5 minute timers to get started on things. In spite of still having depression, I have been way more consistent getting tasks done. I recently did a 40 hours fast because I was so burned out I didn't wanna cook or even eat. I had the time off work, so I decided to make it therapeutic. Got some electrolytes, rested, prayed, and made it a mindful fast. It brought me some peace! I'm not saying fasting is for everyone, definitely check with a doctor first. You make a good point on several things..I agree if you make yourself do things when you're resisting, it feels SO good afterwards. I also agree its best to be away from complaining and negative people. I try to keep the venting to my own journal or therapy. My new goal for this week: I'm gonna sit down and write my energizer list, and make that vision board like you suggested.
By the way your makeup is really pretty!
Hear ya! I am 2X your age, but that’s no excuse. In the last year I have completely flipped to a low energy person with a lot of anxiety. I believe in or feel like I know that I attract things in my life, and after the first few hours of the day which I try to prep myself for attracting a good life, I slip and tumble down a dark hole…like almost daily! Then I spend every night trying to escape the drama I experienced all day.

To Be And Do BETTER 🤗🙏🏿🤗
The algorithm brought me here, thank you for being honest! I will say, as someone who is late 30s and making changes in several areas of my life...I am drained. Not enough of fun and love, too much responsibility and doing tasks for others or 'to-do-lists'. I find focusing on my dreams on a tangible way (actively breaking down how to live my dream) gives me motivation. Thank you for making this video.
After practicing something over and over again, it becomes second nature. And sometimes we need REST to regroup and then our energy comes back.
We are people, not machines. It’s okay to rest, regroup and reset.
And you’re right, more often than not, we have to force ourselves to do _______ (whatever) and after we do, we feel better.
Your first example is so on point. Funny how the opposite happens when having fake conversations…literally feel the life source draining from my body
oh my god, bianca... that was the first video of yours that was ever recommended to me and im asking myself if you're my twin in spirit... i have the EXACT same things that energize me. (hydration+caffeine, deep convos, inspiring each other, doing physical work first thing in the morning, deeply understanding a new concept and being excited by it, 15 minute of closing eyes, etc.) this is just CRAZY! wow! i rarely ever leave comments like these, but i HAD to let you know that you are the first person i have EVER heard verbalize the same things that give me energy. AND i have the exact same struggles when it comes to fasting compulsively and then ending up binge eating (due to my ADHD and weird stomach issues). i loved the entire video. thank you for doing this.
I have a tip for people who want to read more:
When thinking about it, if we make the goal "do more" there's the potential for us to feel guilt from "underachieving." Your goal of stretching "after waking up" is good because waking up works as a reminder/prompt. Try starting with a book you know you like and make the goal, something like "read 10 pages at dinner time" (while it's cooking or after eating) 🍀💗💗💗💗
Habit linking! That's a great idea!
It sounds like the things that energize you are things that set your soul on fire! You even got warm by talking about it. And the things that drain you are misaligned with your core soul frequency. Your body will always guide you! ❤
Finally someone that gets me!! I figured out that every medal has two sides, the front and the back. There will be no medal in the world that exists with only two fronts. Or: you can‘t follow all the good habits at the same time since some good habits are tied to a certain model of identity
you are already doing what you need to do! eating well and exercise. I try to walk a lot and lift light weights at home when I remember or arm bands, but I'm a 38 year old single mom to a 3.5 year old. all my energy goes in to work and him. I work 40 hours a week in an office. its enough just to eat decent and remember to breathe and go to bed at a decent time...
You are A BRIGHT AMAZING STAR ⭐️ don’t forget to rest and take care of yourself… also go easy on yourself mamas.. your doing this thing called life just fine😘 and it def shows that you actually are motivated and have the will power to change your life bc you made this video highlighting all the positive things that you do, do! So keep shining, DONT GIVE UP!
Thank you for reminding me of who I used to be.
After hanging around the wrong people I made the wrong decisions and then I went through housing crisis and now job issues. All because of the wrong people and draining my energy
Iv forgotten my routine and now I have to make a new vision for myself.
This video speaks to me on such a deep level. I'm currently looking to do a massive change in my career, but I have NO energy. This video is a real wake-up call. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you for this comment. 😊
I love the fact that you’re talking about some thing that we’re all fighting with. Me personally I do stretch every morning. I have to get up at four in the morning in order to do it because I have to be at work at five. Now that I’m older when I don’t stretch, I feel it throughout my body and I noticed I’m a mean person
Hi Bianca. Hope you find your peace within. A minute into your video and I felt like you’re describing me.
I just turned 30 and realized that depression exists in many forms. Some of us may seem to have it all together on the outside- eating well, sleeping, exercising, working a full time job, parenting, attending social events- inside though we feel out of sync.
I have learnt to be grateful for little things and trying to live in the moment. That gives me peace. Hope you find yours soon 💕 from Canada
Lynne speaking here great video your makeup is gorgeous :)
The big trick of the ego, I am a body, and something outside is giving me energy/Joy, must eat better, exercise more. Was here too a few years ago.
The energy (love) you are looking for comes from inside, your conditioned mind is getting to negative, because of judging. And judging thoughts, like must improve and stuff, those judgment ideas are seeking energy/love from outside.
You can train your mind, so love comes from inside. But the school systems trained your mind to drain your energy. And the down spiral is increasing more and more because of those thinking patterns they teach you. ❤️❤️❤️
Joe Dispenza says use the body to condition the mind too rather than force the mind to feel zen or motivated etc. However i am watching this on the sofa having become sedentary and intending to meditate for 20 years....
For me my adhd medication helped with energy. My lack of energy was extreme. I had no idea I had adhd, but in retrospect I did, but most of it was in my head. I actually get stuff done. In my case I had no energy for things that energized me. I accomplished things for two weeks, max a month and lose steam. The mere intent was enough for me to feel an energy drop.
I think the thing that gets me too is I don’t know what I’m supposed to be inspired about, like a lot of people inspire for wealth, money, travel, extreme fitness but these things don’t appeal to me. I enjoy the arts but I’m not talented at anything specifically so it’s like there is no purpose to progressing anything because other people are there already. I feel like anything I might try will be pointless. Thanks for the video, it describes exactly where I am at.
You are a professional athlete. That IS your life. The amount of training, practice and discipline to reach and stay at that level is exhausting in and of itself. The way you're feeling is why you are successful today. You may never read more, meditate more or whatever it is you're pursuing but you will always strive to do those things and that's what is most important. Stay hungry.
If you want a blunt answer your question though, I think once you retire from soccer, you'll probably have more time and energy to do these other things. 😉
Does it get easier ?Yes! “Well Accepting what we are “ does. Gets better? NO, lol. Worse! 58, BUT yah gotta laugh & smile. EVERYTHING is a losing fight! You just got to think of it this way, our benefit is that we got a Headstart on this! I got this “not getting started thing down, daily overwhelm” DOWN PAT! I am seeing people 2,5-10 years down the road ahead me, moaning & complaining. They don’t feel like doing this. I can’t get themselves to that. They’re sick and dont feel like doing anything…afraid of this and afraid of that…. I’m prepared for ALL that!! I’m in great shape! eat healthy!. I’m gonna be a pro at this whole decline of the body of mind thing. Iv’e been in the state that. Youre talking about since I’ve been 5, I got into kindergarten thought. “Oh crap, this life thing is gonna be tough.” -wally
Seriously though you are inspirational. I’m just gonna play this video every once in a while throughout my ADD days. And I know what you mean, it’s when you come across a real three-dimensional person… it’s like the sun comes out and you can really talk and you can really be alive. What you need to watch out for, is the un-social creep, the b**** sneaks up on you, you are like “Friends? Oh yeah, I remember friends.”
I totally feel this. I have had chronic fatigue since I was 12 due to incredibly tenacious chronic infections. I sometimes have no energy to nap or rest!! Tired and wired. The struggle is real. What works for me when I’m totally exhausted is resting mixed with activity.
I too am also energized by socializing and conversing. It’s a life saver, for real. It’s sad though because I’m in my 40’s and my friends are all so busy. Luckily just going out around people helps me, like reading at a coffee shop.
And the worst thing for me is getting sucked into my phone!! Mindless scrolling depletes me. But it’s hard to put the phone down.
Yes! So tired of the surface level conversations. They’re draining! Great video! ❤
sounds like you’re burnt out. i burnt out hard and stopped enjoying life. i quit my career, took a less stressful job. i now love my mornings. i wake up 1 1/2 hrs before work and ease into the day. I found by slowing down my focus changed and i could more clearly see what actually makes me happy . multi tasking and achieving maximum efficiency while chasing other people’s dreams will leave you miserable. BTW, i’m actually healthier and wealthier now. it’s counterintuitive, but slowing down is what you actually need to find better focus and energy. just a thought. when we try to do it all we actually get nothing done.
I am experiencing the same issue and I have for some years now. I am in menopause so I know that is contributing to it. The other things that kind of bring my energy down is that I’ve had several losses of family members and friends in recent years. The biggest loss lately has been that of my only sibling my brother. In the past six years since he left as I’ve been kind of going through the motions. Also, I am the caretaker for senior parents and they have a lot of health problems. My dad just had a cardiac surgery about three days ago and I’ve been lethargic ever since. I’m so glad I found your channel and I am a new subscriber. Thank you for making Content like this and I hope you keep doing what you’re doing because the world needs more people like you.
Oh we are somewhat in the same experience. I'm 47 going through menopause, new empty nester, not a full caregiver but responsible for my mom. somewhat finding out who I am as a now single, empty nester navagating new life.
i literally heard u say “i cant drink caffeine if im not hydrated” while putting down my mug as i was going back to the kitchen to get a glass of water. this is my every day
this video gave me so much comfort in knowing that I can relate to someone
You don't have to do extra. You are doing what you want. You might be missing things while walking your path. If you want to have deep conversations and learn new things, look around you. You might be able to have conversations with what you didn't think possible.
When I started noticing this about myself, turns out I was dying. I was very sick and didn’t know it. Makes sense now that when I was doing the very thing that always energized me, I was still tired. Unfortunately, I never pulled through and now I’m doing bad financially. However, I know what you mean about self-sabotaging behavior. I have trouble sleeping and whatever opportunities I did have to sleep, I use it to watch other people doing the thing I love doing on tv/social media (like I’m doing now) because I didn’t want to face sleep. Sleep is a source of high anxiety for me because I already have trouble with it so I made it worse by engaging in things that hurts my sleep even more. I have to stop.
What was your diagnosis? Are you doing better health wise? Do you have debt? I’m wondering if you can request forgiveness or go on disability to help the financial concerns.
Oh I so totally get you when you say that you are too tired to be disciplined. One thing that really helped me is energy cleansing. Because it seems like you are doing everything right so that one thing that is missing is this. Try it out and see how much better you will feel right away💜You can do it in meditation,taking salt scrubs(doing both things is amazing) or going to see someone who is an expert at clearing energy.
Omg I was just thinking about writing a comment on how I just learned how to do this in a meditation. For me it helps a lot but today for example, I found myself still getting very tired. I think it might have something to do with working from home and being alone a lot. Do you actually go to someone?
I love hearing this from a professional athlete! We all struggle because we're human but... it doesn't have to suck all the time. Thank you, Bianca!
Sounds like you doing something similar to what I did. I told myself I wanted and always ended up questioning it. Then I started telling myself I needed to, and that led to me doing it because I told myself I needed it. Wants are fleeting, but needs are universal. My needs may not be the same as yours, but there’s no denying that we both need what we need.
You chanel is helping me get out of my 2 years long dark times. Thank you
This made me feel bi-polarly inspired. Complete shift. Thank you!
You’re a breath of fresh air and you were right you did motivate me. In my case I have an adhd brain which I was not aware of until I was 38, only 5 years ago. I honestly believe it was the reason I could not stick to a plan for very long. I feel that stretching is so underrated and I’m suffering from sciatica at the moment and it is affecting my work and family life, for the last 3 years I’ve noticed I cannot get motivated as I could once to start exercising, eating more balanced meals, and lately it hasn’t helped that I work graveyards. Thank you for the really motivational content that goes beneath the surface
Just so you know, not everybody that watches your videos is a female. 😊 I actually enjoy your videos in general. I have your rookie card from your Chicago days in 2021. I am a card collector. Avid TikTok user selling sports cards forever now it seems like. But I really just wanted to reach out and tell you that I know your channels, focus his of course, to empower women, which I think is awesome. I have a 18-year-old daughter and I just think it’s great what you’re doing and I just wanted to tell you.
I think knowledge is power. I like to have those deep ,raw,and unfiltered conversations. I learn so much from others. I just get the intuition what is right. Everyone stretch and drink water. Take it from someone who ran marathons, tennis, part of Everest. Not a professional athlete but thought I dont need to stretch and I love Coke Zero. One day you will wake up and wont be the same so please take that advice. Also I have a hard time with change. I will go down kicking to not have changing situations. Everyday changes so embrace it. As life changes your identity changes and going positive works out much better. I think we all need to love others and ourselves and move forward with energy but also realize our world is draining right now. I think vibe is great but maybe focus on one of your bucket list items and don’t take on too much. But we are all different in what brings out the best in us as individuals. Enjoyed your video
Fatigue is tricky. Monk mode is a good solution, however, what if someone has actually drained their energy from too much ambition? I have done this before, and balance is very important and difficult to maintain. Monk mode is a great idea, don't think I'm not saying that! Part of monk mode could be figuring out the things that need to go so you can rest and have balance. Perhaps.
First of all, you're so sweet and relatable. Thank you for talking about this that not many TH-camrs are talking about! You're so raw and authentic I love it!
For me personally I just found out that talking out loud makes me feel better/energized. I dont have any friends so when I do talk out loud I pretend to talk to God and I feel like at least someone is listening! I know it would look creepy to someone else but I don't care.
Also, driving really relaxes me. It's almost therapeutic like for me. But honestly I feel like I can definitely cut out some stuff that are draining me like binge eating, not having any time for myself too.
I'm so glad you did this video. I also eat clean, exercise, sleep right, have great mental health and I'm tired all the time. It's nice to know others feel the same! also you should do a skin routine video because your skin is so moisturized and glowing!
Hi I hope are you okay 💓I just I would like to say thank you very much because you were able to translate my problem that I was not able to say and know about it to the point that I re-listened to the video twice because I was affected by it. Tomorrow will be the first day in which I apply a method that I felt solved my problem My suffering with laziness reached the point of depression for a year without doing anything. I lost my education, my money, and even my relationship with friends and family, and all of this is because I am no longer responsible. I see myself as going into danger and I do not do anything, but I made a promise to myself to fix everything I ruined with my lack of responsibility. Towards my life, thank you. You helped me a lot with this video. I wish you a good life ❤
Your beaming with beauty as well….keep shining life and peace to your self preservation and restoration in solving your energy growth in these times of ascension….and make time to let your self rest so you can absorb and grow with your new found knowledge of self…. much thanks for sharing being of the moment of transforming by doing.
This is so good and feels like perfect timing for me to receive this message since I was just thinking about this today! I’m working on basics like staying hydrated, eating yummy healthy foods that support brain health, going outside, and keeping a clean space to nurture my creativity.
I think we go through stages in life, and if you want to read more, meditate, and do more activities that are internal based and not physical, or external, like your career as a soccer player, I would say those things will come with time. This is what I tell myself. I have other interests, but I don’t have time for them right now, but I’m expecting to live along time, and those other interests will serve me when I am ready for them. also, I would say because your physically well you will have the health and longevity in your life to eventually get around to the other things. Some people never get their health and check thus they’re not able to enjoy the other activities down the road because they die early. or they’re sick.
i feeeeel you! i have no energy to be disciplined is a powerful transformative realisation that changed my life!
Great video. You're doing something different from the other self-improvement gurus (let's call them that). I felt directly addressed. Just a note, I don't think it's necessary for you to wear so much makeup for your videos. It only makes you more authentic if you present yourself as you are.
Been there. The more rest you take the more rest you need.
I resonated with most of what you said, it’s setting intention to your day and what energizes you
I randomly found this video and it’s exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you.
We have unlimited energy, we need to just tap into that, there are behaviours and actions likethe one you mentioned that do actually give us more energy "paradoxically"- exercising doesnt "cost" us energy, it gives us energy. Doomscrolling mindlessly costs energy. Complaining and gossiping costs us energy. Negative beliefs deplete us while positive beliefs refill us and boost us.
Thanks for the video. You can sense that you care about this topic and that you are excited about talking about it
This is insanely accurate to the thoughts and things I think and do. It’s scary, weird and wonderful!!! So happy I found your channel!!!
Thank you, Bianca. Great advice. Even when you’re successful and doing good… life can STILL be difficult.
For me, morning coffee.. I do my planner daily and try to track finances. Then I work. I workout 3 days a week if I can and I read a chapter 3 days out of the week as well. Often more. I digress though. Life is hard even when you’re doing good.
Exactly 💯.. you not alone
When you talked about" deeper conversations" and "wisdom" raising your energy levels, almost made me cry. I was casually watching your video and I felt so seen and heard.
How perfect is this video in a time that I need it most. Wow.
I’m 43,, and I feel the same way right now.. I want to do so much,, but not mentally able to do it..
This is so interesting because I’m the opposite. I’m so disciplined in a morning routine: reading, meditation, yoga, etc. before even checking my phone. I am so disciplined in the mindset area, but not so disciplined in the physical health area. I will eat clean for a few days, and then indulge in fast food for days after. I’ve made my exercise goal smaller smaller, but yet I still can’t even commit to 30 minutes of exercise a day. It doesn’t make sense.
I watched so many videos but this one hits different, writing what energizes and drains you? I am gonna try this for sure, tq for sharing ur knowledge🎉
The title alone was completely relatable lol💯!!! But seriously I've been on my own "self-improvement" journey for the past 3-4 years or so and the main thing I've always struggled with most was feeling burned out non-stop, procrastinating from analysis paralysis, and like I'm in this constant loop of going from extreme highs to rock bottom... Lately I've been feeling really inspired to get my life "back on track", but like I BARELY even have the energy to do simple things, let alone trying to improve it!!
But I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one going thru this because sometimes this journey can get and feel lonely af. Thank you posting this despite being nervous lol💕☺
Thanks for sharing ❤. I have experienced depression, ADHD and I know writing is vital for my overall wellbeing. Thank you for the reminder.
Praise the Lord for putting this on my feed! Jesus Christ can fill that void. Come to Him and watch how you will be so filled. If you keep trying other things in this world, you will feel the same….empty.
Yes, 100%! I have sooo many things I want to do and achieve but lack the energy to do. Thank you for this video ❤
"Do the thing and you'll have the power"
Living with chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain and a mental health challenge called bipolar spectrum disorder I find it hard to do anything. Some days im better than others but the last 2 weeks I am struggling with a flare-up of pain and tiredness and a corresponding flare-up of bipolar depression... My energy comes from coffee and keeping warm (as we head into autumn and winter here in South Eastern Australia). Also by doing the tiniest thing I have to do (washing a mug) or writing a list of things I want to do.
Cuddles with my cat Shadow turns into resetting his food area, putting the rubbish and recycling in the big bins, tidying up the kitchen and doing the washing up.
Im learning if I do the things I enjoy first then they usually trigger me to do something I need to do to manage my life. Blessings, Dot
As a coach, I always pass forward to get out of rut is to take break. Literally break the routine and experiment. At the end of the day, we have to live.. in slow days & even rollercoaster days. At the last breath, all we have are memories & experiences.
Thank you for sharing this ! I am feeling this as well. I am a new dad at 44 with a 1y/o son that I want to be energized for ! I appreciate your transparency and willingness to share. God Bless !
Divine timing. Thank you 😊 🙏
Oh my goodness, I always get paralyzed by looking at all the things I COULD be doing that I wind up doing nothing but staring around the room for a long time. I think it comes from just trying to figure out how to best spend my time. But I do agree that sometimes just lying down for five minutes to close your eyes can be just as effective as a full nap. I love narrowing down the things that bring me joy and do them as much as I can!
Thank you for this. I also suffer from low energy. I am disciplined in some things, and not others. For example, I walk the neighborhood every day even if I don't feel like it. When I am out driving and running errands, I have energy. Staying home facing my chores is draining. I can be very productive some days, and other days I am just lazy. I do write up to do lists and accomplish a lot, but it's not consistent. 😢
Trying to improve is fine but you’ll never do it all. You have to prioritize and pick a few things that are important to you and will make the greatest impact on your overall goals. Whatever they are…
literally do a strict ketogenic diet, carnivore is the best version of this. Your energy and thinking improves drastically. Low energy is primarily due to diet. Dont listen to people who dismiss this or disagree, just try it for a couple of weeks and find out for yourself.
This so relatable... I am so glad I am here...your perspective is eye opening❤
This was such a helpful video! For so long I have had tons of self-improvement goals and have been aware of the ways I have been self sabotaging. I never new/understood why I always felt too tired to do all these things. The way you explain this is so helpful to digest and SO incredibly relevant. Each element you laid out makes sense to the ways I have been feeling/thinking. The self sabotage due to not knowing yourself is GOLDEN and really hit home. So often we are told today that we are tired due to a lack of self care or rest, but for some time now, that hasn't been the case for me. I would hear/see that content and feel the disconnect. However, I didn't understand, until seeing your video, what to do to not feel so tired and blocked from doing the things that in my heart, I wanted to do and areas of myself I wanted to improve. I don't need more rest (I am getting that) as self-care culture says. I need to find out what energizes me, what drains me, get to know myself, and include those things in my day to improve. Thank you for sharing these thoughts!
I loved reading this! Thanks for sharing, I get you and you get me
Awww I lost my Gram in 2022, and I used to love calling her. ❤
I just searched for "NO ENERGY" and this was recommended. Honestly, I was not expecting anything more than every one ELSE says, but I can't help trying again and again for better or new info/ideas. This is a pretty killer video with some interesting things for me to ponder. thank you!!! subscribed...whoever you are. 😆 When I get done watching what else I've put in my que for today, I'll come back and see what ELSE ya have! ❤
I feel the same way as you.I just do the basics it's it.Thank you for this video ❤❤❤
Excellent video- very motivating and feel like I needed to hear thisas a reminder 👍
Girl you just popped up on my feed and I subscribed in like 2 minutes because you just completely resonated with me and I cant wait to watch all your videos. Its amazing how, if you keep an eye out, the right things always come into your life! Welcome to my life :)
I needed to hear this today. Thanks for putting words to my thoughts
You literally just inspired me to start posting every day again. 🙏
I usually don't leave comments but I FELT this so much. Like... Jeez, every next word out of your mouth was describing my reality for quite some time. Thank you for being so OPEN, humble and vulnerable. By telling your story and trying to assist us, you are creating magic ❤ although I have never been an athlete, I am a mom of two, full time working, and love so many things to do like gaming, art, exercise but definitely struggling with feeling drained and constantly loosing that discipline due to house work, tiredness.. It is such a vicious circle. But this gave me hope, definitely will look into what is draining me, never thought about that. Thank you 🌹❤
Same!!! About what energizes me ❤️
I’m one of your new subscribers! I’m really into your message and your channel. I absolutely love your honesty.
One of my new fave channels! ❤
I feel this. I’ve learned we can only do so many things. I had a checklist of “habits” to form but I had to accept that I can’t do all the things. I have to focus on what’s most important.
Exactly! I have a video coming out tomorrow that I think you’ll completely relate to then!
Perfect video.
I love this, "If you can't own the morning, you can't own the day." The morning is the hardest.
Also, I share the same thing about surface convos. They are boring, I want to learn something or be able to take something away if I invest my time.
Lastly, your social media take is awesome. I've never thought about it as having a purpose instead of just going there bc you're bored. Going to implement this.
Excellent video. Ty. 🤙🙏
you’re so in tune with yourself. it’s shockingly admirable. thank you for sharing this!
That was great, thank you for such a down to earth and informative video. "First you make your habits, and then your habits make you."
It’s so interesting hearing that even at your level that it also takes a lot of discipline and consistency for you to stretch and wake up. These are the same struggles that everyone faces.
I can see you definitely have a growth mindset, looking forward to more videos.
Good game last night, welcome to NC!
