  Have you noticed your habits lately? Our habits can sometimes make us or break us. Have you noticed, that on a daily basis you get tired not only because of the things you do but because of the things where you put your energy on? And sometimes, you won’t notice that your habits are already draining you. So maybe it’s time for some habits checking. Here are some of the daily habits that can drain your energy.

  1. Taking things personally

  When someone in the office failed to greet you or not acting the same way; when your work is criticized; or when you were pulled off from a project, you already think that people have grudges towards you. Or you think that they have issues with you. But sometimes it’s just your mindset. Always think that just like you people go through things they do not always discuss. And in terms of work, don’t take it against your boss or colleague if they do things that are unfavorable to you. Sometimes what they do is just part of the job. Always have a heart check on situations like this because when you take things personally it only makes you hate more and hate is too heavy to bring in the office every day.

  2. Living in the past

  Past is past. If you’ll continuously dwell on the past it will not help you perform well in your present situation. Stop lingering the what happened before and start living in the moment. Past only bring us lessons. Apply it in the present if it’s applicable but if not, let it go. It doesn’t matter anymore. You can’t be better if you’ll still live in the past. This habit will break you and drain you which will prohibit you from getting the best of the present time.

  3. Comparing yourself to others

  The universe has a perfect timing for all of us. What works for others may not work for you. Stop comparing yourself to others. The moment you do you’ll start being uncontented and ungrateful of the things you have. It can result to poor performance. Remember, there are things you have that others are praying for. When you feel that you’re already comparing remind yourself that you’ll get there in prefect time. Strive hard for the things you want. Dreams are impossible for those who only keep on dreaming but never get out of their beds.

  4. Entertaining drama

  Drama is inevitable. Even in offices drama happens. But it only gets worst if you’ll treat it like a baby. Don’t fuel drama. Though it’s unhealthy to suppress your feelings. If you have to let it out do it in a private place with the people you trust the most. Drama can make you tired and underperform. Shrug off drama and don’t let your emotions ruin your excellence.

  5. Complaining

  When you start complaining you also start doing things out of compliance. Imagine, work can be stressful already and when you do it while complaining you’re draining yourself. Complaining is inevitable especially if what you’re doing is not from the heart. But don’t let it consume you. Do the work, give your best. Complaining results to poor performance and your performance defines you.

  6. Overthinking

  Have you tried thinking for work? Did you notice that it’s more tiring than doing a work that requires you to move a lot? So you see, thinking drains you. What more if you overthink? Do you want to be over drained? Overthinking results to poor performance. Instead of being excellent in what you do, you keep on thinking what people has to say about what you do. Change your mindset because excellence starts in the mind.

  7. Gossiping

  If you think it’s fun gossiping, you are thinking wrong. It might be kind of uplifting in your ego to know that you’re not like other people or think that you know them better because of these stories you hear, but IRL, it’s not. You’re putting your energy at the wrong place when you gossip because it doesn’t get you anywhere.

  8. Pleasing others

  This is the most tiring thing you’ll do. You can’t please others and mind you, it’s not a requirement. As long as you’re not hurting or stepping on anyone do what you gotta do. Always remember that you do good, you do bad, you do nothing people has something to say so stop pleasing others and start pleasing yourself. Remember you’re not working for others, you are working for yourself. So hustle hard for yourself.
