The good news? You don’t need another quick fix.
Instead, let’s uncover 10 hidden self-sabotaging habits that are keeping you exhausted—and how to break free so you can feel vibrant, focused, and unstoppable in your business and life.
4 Health Habits That Drain Your Energy
1. Skipping Breakfast & Running on Caffeine
Your Root Chakra (Muladhara) is your foundation—it needs to feel nourished to eep you grounded and safe. But when you skip breakfast or rely on coffee first thing in the morning, you send your nervous system into survival mode, spiking stress hormones and keeping you in fight-or-flight all day.
Client Story: One of my clients used to drink three cups of coffee before noon just to feel ‘awake.’ By 2 PM, she was crashing hard. We swapped it for a protein-rich breakfast and warm lemon water, and within a few days, she messaged me saying, “I can’t believe how much more stable my energy feels.”
What to do instead: Start your day with real, grounding food—proteins, healthy fats, and fiber. Your body will thank you!
2. Not Drinking Enough Water
Dehydration doesn’t just affect your body—it messes with your Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura), impacting digestion, confidence, and mental clarity.
Client Story: A client who always felt sluggish and foggy was drinking only one glass of water a day! We increased her intake to just one more liter, and suddenly, her headaches disappeared, and she felt sharper in her business meetings.
What to do instead: Aim for at least 1 to 2 liters of water a day. Start small—one extra glass at a time, better yet high water containing fruits!
3. Eating Too Much Sugar or Processed Foods
Did you know your gut health is directly linked to your Third-Eye Chakra (Ajna)? An imbalanced gut leads to brain fog, anxiety, and low energy.
Client Story: One client snacked on sweets throughout the day to “stay focused.” But instead of helping, it was making her energy crash and increasing anxiety. We swapped it for nuts, protein balls, and fruit, and within a week, she felt more balanced.
What to do instead: Choose natural, whole foods that keep your energy steady.
3 Mindset Habits That Keep You Stuck
4. Overthinking & Decision Fatigue
Your Third-Eye Chakra (Ajna) is all about intuition and clarity, but when you overanalyze everything, you block your ability to trust yourself.
Client Story: A client was stuck in a loop of “should I launch this, should I post this?”—overthinking every move in her business. Once we implemented daily journaling and a ‘one decision per day’ rule, she stopped spiraling and started making bold moves.
✨ What to do instead: Create a “daily decision habit” where you make at least ONE bold decision every day, no overthinking.
5. Not Expressing Your Needs (Throat Chakra Blockage)
If you’re always saying yes when you mean no, you’re draining your Throat Chakra (Vishuddha)—weakening your voice, confidence, and boundaries.
Client Story: One client was exhausted from overcommitting to clients, family, and friends. We practiced saying, “I’ll think about it” instead of immediately saying yes. She later said, “For the first time, I don’t feel resentful—I feel in control.”
What to do instead: Practice gentle boundary-setting. Even a simple “I need time to think about that” can be a game-changer.
6. Always Consuming, Never Just Being (The Power of Pratyahara)
Your Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) needs stillness to receive clarity, but most of us drown in social media, podcasts, and noise.
Client Story: One client was always ‘learning’ but never applying. We added five minutes of complete silence daily. Within a week, she told me, “I finally feel like I can hear myself think.”
What to do instead: Try 5 minutes of silence daily. No phone, no music—just you and your breath.

7. Multitasking from the Moment You Wake Up
Instead of grounding into your energy, you start the day in chaos—emails, notifications, stress.
What to do instead: Try one mindful action first thing—breathwork, stretching, or even just drinking water in silence.
8. Ignoring Your Body’s Signals
Your body whispers before it screams. Fatigue, cravings, headaches? They’re all messages.
What to do instead: Start checking in—ask, “What does my body need right now?” before pushing through discomfort.
9. Not Creating a Closing Ritual for Your Day
Your business and life deserve a sacred ending just like a good yoga session.
Client Story: A client felt “always on.” We created a shutdown ritual—three deep breaths, stretching, and setting an intention for the next day. She later said, “For the first time, I actually feel done at the end of the day.”
What to do instead: Close your day with a simple wind-down practice.
