Have you ever gotten to the end of your day and thought, “Why am I completely wiped out?”
You didn’t climb a mountain. You didn’t run a marathon. But your brain feels fried and your body’s asking for a nap.

That’s what today’s challenge is all about: energy awareness.

We all have moments when our batteries feel drained, but we often forget to ask why. The truth is, our energy isn’t just affected by sleep or what we eat. It’s shaped by how we spend our time, who we engage with, what we consume, and how we treat ourselves.

A Personal Wake-Up Call

There was a day I felt totally depleted by noon. No big life event, no chaos—just…exhaustion.
When I retraced my day, I realized I had:

• Scrolled Instagram first thing in the morning (for way too long)
  
• Answered a snarky email that ruined my mood
  
• Talked to someone who always leaves me emotionally tapped out
  

And I hadn’t done anything that actually gave me energy.
No music. No water. No fresh air. Just slow leaks all morning long.

Once I saw that pattern, I couldn’t unsee it. And I started doing something radical:

I paid attention.

Today’s Challenge

🕵️‍♀️ Be your own energy detective.
Today, I want you to notice what gives vs. drains your energy. You don’t have to overhaul your life today—but awareness is where change begins.

Start with questions like:

• What activities leave me feeling recharged or at peace?
  
• What people or platforms make me feel heavy, anxious, or irritated?
  
• What am I doing out of habit that actually zaps me?
  

Write it down. Let yourself notice without judgment.

You might be surprised how many small leaks are draining your energy bucket.

Journal Prompt

📝 “What gave me energy today? What drained it? What can I adjust tomorrow?”

Keep it real. Don’t overthink it.

Daily Affirmation

💬 “My energy is sacred. I protect it. I honor what fuels me and release what drains me.”

Say it to yourself, write it down, or speak it out loud in the mirror if you’re feeling bold.

You Deserve to Thrive

Your energy is your life force. And today’s challenge is a reminder that you have more control than you think.

Once you know what’s draining you, you can stop apologizing for needing boundaries—and start building a life that actually feeds you.
