Do you have a morning routine?
How do you usually boost your energy in the morning?
Today, Jay explores a challenge we all face, feeling drained, exhausted, and overwhelmed. He reminds us that rest isn’t a luxury but a necessity, and pushing ourselves too hard only leads to burnout. In this episode, he shares simple yet powerful strategies to help us reclaim our energy, set better boundaries, and shift our mindset from perfectionism to progress.
One key lesson is focusing on progress instead of perfection. Many of us wait for the “perfect” moment, but that often keeps us from starting at all. Jay also encourages us to spot and fix our energy leaks—those unnoticed habits, relationships, or activities that quietly wear us down. Whether it’s spending time with people who drain us, sitting through unnecessary meetings, or endlessly scrolling on social media, these small but consistent drains add up. By recognizing them, we can take control and protect our energy.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to Stop Feeling Drained and Reclaim Your Energy
How to Focus on Progress Instead of Perfection
How to Set Boundaries to Protect Your Time and Energy
How to Make Rest a Priority (and Why It’s Productive)
How to Structure Your Day Around Your Peak Energy Hours
Feeling drained and overwhelmed doesn’t have to be your norm. You have the power to take back your energy, set boundaries, and create a life that feels balanced and fulfilling.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty
