Why You’re So Drained (and How to Get Your Energy Back)

Writer: Adi RiveraAdi Rivera

And no, it’s not just about getting more sleep.





You’re tired. Maybe even exhausted.But it’s not always the kind of tired that sleep fixes. You’re drained on a deeper level—mentally, emotionally, maybe even spiritually.

The strange thing is, you’re doing all the right things (or at least you’re trying): Getting decent sleep... Eating well-ish... Exercising (when you can).


And yet… something still feels off. You’re running on empty.The energy you do have leaks away quickly, leaving you feeling foggy, scattered, and just done.





Energy Doesn’t Just Come From Sleep

The truth is, energy isn’t only physical.You have different types of energy that keep you feeling alive, present, and motivated—mental energy, emotional energy, spiritual energy.


And every single day, those energy reserves are getting pulled at—by work, by other people’s needs, by the noise of a busy world, by all the “shoulds” on your plate.


Over time, the things you say yes to, the commitments you keep, and the thoughts you hold onto—whether consciously or unconsciously—are draining you.


Even the things that once gave you energy can start to feel heavy if you’re not intentional about how you spend your energy, where you restore it, and what you let go of.





Where Is Your Energy Really Going?


We rarely stop to look at this. Because we’re busy. Because we’re fine. Until we’re not. Until we hit burnout, decision fatigue, or that low-grade sense of blah that feels hard to shake

.

But when you actually look at where your energy is going, you can start to take it back.


You can:

✔️ Create more space

✔️ Let go of draining commitments

✔️ Focus on what fills you

✔️ Feel lighter, clearer, and more present


Here’s the thing most people overlook: Energy doesn’t just deplete because of “doing too much.”


It often drains from doing things that are no longer aligned with who you are becoming. You may still be investing time and energy in things that once mattered but no longer serve the life you want to live. The mental friction of that misalignment can quietly wear you down. Clarity about where you are now—what matters and what doesn’t—is essential for renewal.



And it’s not always about subtracting. Sometimes it’s about intentionally adding back in the small things that nourish you—conversations that lift you up, work that makes you curious again, simple pleasures that reconnect you to yourself. It’s often less about a massive overhaul and more about course-correcting by a few degrees, one choice at a time.
