10 Toxic Habits that Drain Your Energy
It’s time to break the habits that have been holding you back. Respect yourself enough to let go of the mindsets and routines that have been sucking you dry.
Bear with me for a moment. You know when you’re driving to an unfamiliar place, blasting the radio while simultaneously watching your GPS spit out directions? Then you suddenly get to that one part of the route that’s ridiculously confusing, so you lower the volume even though it has no direct impact on the way you read the directions?
That is your life. The radio noise you need to cut out to concentrate? That is the needless, energy-sucking noise in your head.
Turning down the radio in the car re-energizes your mind and offers you clarity when you need it most. You don’t really think about how or why this makes such a huge difference, you just know that it does.
Now it’s time to apply this same principle to all the other noise in your life, starting with the noise in your head.
But how?
The first step is to eliminate toxic, energy-sucking habits that support this noise. With over ten years of experience as life coaches behind us, here are ten such habits Angel and I have seen thousands of people struggle with, again and again:
- Pretending like everything is OK when it isn’t. – Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you feel like giving up? There’s honestly no shame in it. You are not a robot; and even if you were, you’d still need to stop for maintenance sometimes. There’s no shame in admitting to yourself that you feel exhausted, doubtful, and low. This is a natural part of being human. The simple fact that you are aware of this means you are able to turn things around. It’s okay to fall apart for a little while. You don’t always have to pretend to be strong, and there’s no need to constantly prove that everything is going well. You shouldn’t be concerned with what other people are thinking either – cry if you need to – it’s healthy to shed your tears. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again.
- Letting pain from the past devastate the present. –
I am stronger because of the hard times, wiser because of my mistakes,
and happier because I have known sadness. The same is true for you.
Every difficult conversation you have had included someone who was
teaching you something about yourself. Every trying situation contains
an opportunity for deeper self-reflection and learning. Every irritant,
heartbreak, frustration, disappointment, and fearful moment is a
teacher. Remember, nothing is as bad as it seems. Nothing. There’s a
benefit and a blessing hidden in the folds of every experience and every
outcome. So don’t you dare give up on today because of the way things
looked yesterday. Don’t even think about it. Every day is a new day to
try again. (Read The Road Less Traveled
.)
- Believing that your best days are either in front of you or behind you. – You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape one day, and how incredible it will be, and imagining that pristine future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present. This is precisely what keeps so many of us stressed and unhappy. The flipside is true as well – obsessing about the past. What you need to accept is that there are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is yesterday and the other is tomorrow. So today, this moment, is the right time to love, to laugh, to work and to live boldly. Yes, this moment needs your undivided attention, for this is the only time and place you are truly alive.
- Trying to hold on to who you were before one of life’s storms. – Hard times are like strong storms that blow against you. And it’s not just that these storms hold you back from places you might otherwise go. They also tear away from you all but the essential parts of your ego that cannot be torn, so that afterward you see yourself as you really are, and not merely as you might like to be. This is a great thing. It may seem impossible now, but one day you will look back at the storms you have weathered and give a silent thank you. For many of us, it is the storms of our lives that have given us compassion, kindness, and gentleness that we otherwise may not have known – and that we can now give away to others, because these qualities are inside of us. (Angel and I discuss this in detail in the “Adversity” chapter of 1,000 Little Things Happy, Successful People Do Differently.)
- Resisting change and growth. – You must consistently check with yourself and ask: “Am I committed to feeling good, or am I committed to growing?” Because growth does not always feel good, and feeling good does not always provide growth. Neither is wrong, as long as there is balance. The important thing is to remember that being uncomfortable is important too, and this discomfort often arrives right on time. Don’t avoid it – embrace it. Channel your energy into progress. All growth begins at the end of your comfort zone. When you’re feeling uncomfortable, know that the change taking place in your life is a beginning, not an ending.
- Worrying and worrying and worrying and never taking action. – Worry is the biggest enemy of the present moment. It does nothing but steal your joy and keep you very busy doing absolutely nothing at all. It’s like using your imagination to create things you don’t want. Break this negative habit! It is far better to be exhausted from effort than to be tired of doing nothing but worrying. Don’t waste your effort avoiding effort. Go ahead and get it done. Today, ask yourself what is really important and then have the courage to build your day around your answer.
- Sacrificing all of your Self for everyone else. – Don’t sacrifice yourself too much, because if you do, there will be very little left that you can give to anyone, even those you love dearly. Whenever you feel trapped and it’s difficult to breathe, let me remind you – don’t forget to secure your own oxygen mask first. Taking care of yourself does not make you selfish; it makes you selfless. In fact, it’s the truest form of selflessness one can experience. Only through attentive self-care can you care for others. In order to truly have a loving, supportive relationship with someone else, you need to learn how to be your own best friend first. It’s all about falling in love with yourself first and sharing that love with others who appreciate you, rather than looking for love to compensate for a self-love deficit.
- Taking everything personally. – There is a huge
amount of freedom that comes to you when you take nothing personally.
And rarely do people do things because of you anyway. They do things
because of them. So even when it seems personal, it probably isn’t.
Remember this. And when you find yourself feeling angry, heartbroken,
or victimized by the actions of another, see if you can you find within
you any seed of softness, some place deep within that understands how
much pain that person must be in, how burdened their soul must be, how
devastatingly hardened they must be in their heart in order to behave in
a way that is surely out of alignment with their own integrity. (Read The Four Agreements
.)
- Letting negative thoughts get the best of you. – Don’t believe everything you hear – even in your own mind. Choose to be miserable and you’ll find plenty of reasons to be miserable. Choose to be happy you’ll find plenty of reasons to be happy. It is this simple 99% of the time. Talking about our problems is our greatest addiction. Break this negative habit. Talk about your joys, your loves, and your dreams instead. Be outrageously and unreasonably positive. Be funny and creative and ridiculous and joyful all at the same time. It’ll make you feel better.
- Refusing to let go a little and open up to uncertainty. – True happiness takes courage. I’m talking the vulnerable, put yourself out there and risk looking like a fool sort of courage. It’s not easy, to push the limits of your vulnerability, to dig deeper and deeper into the core of who you are as an individual and not only love and accept the imperfect parts of yourself, but also expose them to others. You’ve got to be willing to break free from the norm, appear uncool and stop caring so much about what everyone thinks. It’s about taking a stand. In fact, we’ve ALL got to take the time to slow down, to break away from the crazy pace in life and take a minute to sit and stare at the sky without checking for the next text, watch the sunset without uploading it to Instagram, and just free ourselves to be ourselves. We’ve got to shelve our egos and say “yes” to the present moment, to love, to opening ourselves up to being hurt beyond hurt again, and above all, to saying “yes” to taking chances.
The floor is yours…
If you can relate to any of these toxic habits, remember, you are not alone. We all get caught up in our own heads sometimes, doing things that hold us back from our true potential. The key is awareness – recognizing these habits and changing them.So, what’s one toxic habit or thinking pattern that sometimes drains your energy? How do you cope? Leave a comment below and share your insight with us.

Easy Lucid Dream Techniques You Can Use Today
Easy lucid dream techniques are difficult to find, especially
ones that are guaranteed to work. All the techniques that I use to try
would require me to re-pattern and reprogram myself so that my perceived
nature of reality would change by using simple affirmations. If you
have ever tried this you will know that it is not an easy lucid dream
technique, in fact it is quite difficult.
Repeating the words "I
am dreaming" over and over again is supposedly one of the easy lucid
dream techniques. I did this for more than five weeks straight and did
not once even come close to having a lucid dream. I did once recall a
dream in which I was at a hockey game and the phrase "you are dreaming"
flashed across the screen. That did not even clue me in to the fact that
I was dreaming. I only realized it after I woke up.
I wanted to find easy lucid dream techniques so badly that I spent hours and hours researching the Internet and found out what I was missing and what I needed to do. Using this research I formed this list of easy lucid dream techniques, and if practiced every day you will soon be on your way to having your first lucid dream.
First thing in the morning, as soon as you wake up, write down everything that you can remember about your dreams. Have a pad and paper on your nightstand for this. Try reliving your dreams just as if you were lucid at the time of your dream and imagine the excitement and the sensations that being lucid during a dream would induce. Visualize that you are already being lucid during a dream, visualize that lucid dreaming is a normal part of your life.
Reserve about ten or fifteen minutes every afternoon and re-envision your dream again, feel nothing but confidence that you can take control of your dreams and be lucid a throughout the dream. Don't be obsessive about this, just practice every day for a few minutes and again envision yourself taking over your dream.
Now here comes the fun part; eat a light dinner and do not watch TV for at least two hours before bedtime. Just try to meditate and relax use binaural beats and headphones to help you. When you get in bed make sure you have that note pad handy so you can take notes about your dreams. While you are in bed and ready for sleep, listen to isochronic tones, they will help you attain an aware but very relaxed state. In that condition it will be very easy to slip into your dreams and remain conscious.
These very easy lucid dream techniques can be very powerful when they are made a part of your daily routine. The secret to this is using binaural beats and isochronic tones to calm your brain waves and push all doubt from your mind. Think of it this way; do you worry that you workplace won't be there when you arrive? Do you feel like it will be gone if you don't visualize every last room or floor of the building? Of course the answer is no, you are absolutely certain that it will be there, although you haven't arrived as yet.
So can you follow these easy lucid dream techniques and have your first lucid dream? You need to believe it will happen, don't try to force it. Isochronic tones and binaural beats are a very powerful tool that will put you into the proper state of mind and help you overcome any mental blockage that you may have concerning lucid dreaming. Practicing various affirmations or statements such as I am dreaming" over and over again is one positive thing to help you lucid dream but the results are often discouraging and will take a very long time. Affirmations combined with binaural beats and isochronic tones are very easy lucid dream techniques that anyone can use with just a little practice.

Who Should Use Binaural Beats?
There are so many reasons that a person should use binaural
beats, there is probably not enough room in this article to discuss them
all. The key is in using the correct ones to attain the desired
results. Different binaural beat frequencies will affect different
layers of our conscious and subconscious state.
Treating Smoking and Food Addiction Issues
Anybody who has ever fought with an addiction and tried their best and failed will know that it is not as easy as just giving up. Our bodies do not like change and prefer to stay in whatever state that the addiction has lulled them into. Any changes, even good ones, will be met by panic and hostility by your conscious mind. Our subconscious mind can help to re-format our thinking so we can overcome the fear, stress, and biological changes that always occur when we are fighting our addictions.
Binaural beats and meditation can help you change the way you view the relationship between your addiction and yourself and will help you beat that addiction once and for all. Stress, for most of us, will rise it's ugly head when we try to fight an addiction. The relaxing effects that binaural beats can produce can help us remove that stress from the equation. They will also help to modify our behavior so that there is none of that falling off the wagon behavior that so often accompanies addiction.
Improving Our Sleep
Binaural beats can help you get to a condition where you will be able to sleep easier. They can soothe you and help you to relax. If you are struggling every night to relax and get to sleep at bedtime, if you are tossing and turning and pillow pounding and letting loose the odd expletive, than binaural beats may just be the answer you have been looking for. Laying with your eyes closed and listening to the beats will soon help you to drift into a deep and relaxing sleep. They will relieve you of all the stress and make you forget all the worries that are keeping you awake at night.
Reduce Your Pain
If you have ever suffered from
chronic pain you know how exhausting and draining it can be. It becomes
so easy to get into the habit of focusing only on the pain and even
second guessing how bad it will be this time. Our brains can become so
focused on the pain that it can make it seem that it is worse than it
actually is. Binaural beats can enable you to direct your mind's focus
away from the pain and on to something more pleasant. They can help you
to reduce the pain that you are experiencing.
Reduce Your Anxiety
If you are suffering with anxiety disorders or having panic attacks, binaural beats can help reduce and prevent the re-occurrence of your symptoms. They can enable feelings optimism and confidence that will help you cope with the daily stresses of life. If you are going to have a large event in the near future, such as, a new job, or job interview, a major operation, or any other event that you think will be stressful; binaural beats can help you to reduce the feelings of anxiety from these events.
As I said earlier in this article, there are many more uses for binaural beats, and there is not enough room here to discuss them all. They have become a huge part of my life now and I am not sure what I would do without them. Binaural beats have made an incredible difference in my life and they can easily do the same for you as well. I will discuss some more of the improvements that binaural beats can make in your life in a future article.
