There’s a lot happening in the world right now. Every time you check the news, scroll social media, or even engage in certain conversations, you’re being met with a flood of information, opinions, and emotions. Some of it is valuable—but a lot of it is simply noise that drains your mental and emotional energy.
And it’s not just digital distractions. Unhealthy habits—like stress eating, over-caffeinating, or numbing out with alcohol—can pull you further away from feeling strong and in control. Even the relationships we maintain can either support our energy or drain it.
The result? We feel scattered, exhausted, and disconnected from our own power.
But this February, let’s make a shift.
Instead of reacting to everything around us, let’s be intentional about where our energy goes.
💡 What if you started each day with clarity instead of chaos?
💡 What if you gave your body food that fuels instead of depletes?
💡 What if you protected your peace instead of letting outside forces dictate your mood?
This isn’t about tuning out the world—it’s about choosing how you engage with it.
Instead of giving away your energy to things that drain you, it’s time to protect it, fuel it, and own it.
Here are five simple ways to stay in control of your mind, body, and emotional energy:
1. Protect Your Mind: Set Boundaries with Screens
You don’t need to check the news or social media first thing in the morning—or right before bed. Constant exposure to information overload can leave you anxious and reactive instead of calm and intentional. Take back your focus by starting and ending your day without screens.
2. Choose Food That Fuels, Not Depletes
Your body thrives on real, whole foods—not ultra-processed snacks, sugar crashes, or stress eating. Focus on protein, healthy fats, and nutrient-rich greens to keep your energy steady and your mind sharp.
3. Stop Numbing, Start Nourishing
It’s tempting to escape stress with alcohol, sugar, or mindless scrolling. But these quick fixes take more than they give. Instead, choose small, real comforts—like a homemade cacao smoothie, a walk outside, or deep conversations with people who lift you up.
4. Prioritize Sleep Like It’s Your Superpower
Lack of sleep makes everything harder. It affects your mood, your focus, and your ability to handle stress. Protect your energy by getting 7-9 hours of quality rest—and creating a calming nighttime routine to support it.
5. Choose Relationships That Strengthen You
Not everyone deserves access to your energy. Surround yourself with people who **increase your sense of peace and power—**not those who leave you feeling drained, uncertain, or small.
