Everyday life (even when things are going well) can drain our energy and leave us empty. Life is demanding. We shouldn’t wait for a crisis to take care of ourselves; we should be self-loving and self-compassionate, and work to keep the balance daily.

It doesn’t take a major, life-changing event to drain you. Your partner pushed your buttons? You lost some energy. The customer service representative made you frustrated? You lost more energy. A ?wave? of sadness came up suddenly, reminding you a traumatic experience form your past? You lost more. Sure, those things shouldn’t bother you. You shouldn’t lose energy to them. But they do. That’s human.

You end up having an ?energetic overdraft? and if you don’t take action to restore balance, you will feel more and more drained. Just like with your bank account, it pays to take care of the overdraft quickly, before the fees pile up.

The key for keeping the balance is to make a conscious choice to re-energize, rejuvenate, and nurture yourself daily.

Don’t wait for your summer vacation or for the next time you can take time off from work.

There are so many ways to do this and you have to try different things and see what works for you.

You will find lots of ideas in my ?52 Balance Tips? series. Make it fun: try things you haven’t done before.? Whether it’s taking a break to read an inspiring book, taking a hot bath, walking in nature? or drinking herbal tea, you’ll feel the difference.

A Reiki student & life-coaching client of mine shared with me that she’s feeling very drained right now, in the midst of a move to a new house. It is understandable that she feels that ways because moving is is always a huge stressor, physically and emotionally. She knew that she wouldn’t have time to everything she usually does ? like friendly socializing, yoga and running, but she did make it a priority to keep doing the coaching with me, to give herself 20 minutes of Reiki every day and to take some quiet time for herself daily.? In this way, even though she doesn’t have time for her full ?balance routine?, she can still prioritize and what little free time she has to stay energized in the mean time.

I love my life. I am excited to wake up in the morning knowing that I am going to coach people or give and teach Reiki. I couldn’t accomplish all of this if I didn’t take time to rejuvenate.
