care, the same way we manage time or money. Some tasks give energy; others take it away. Learning to notice this difference is an important step toward feeling better day by day. You might find that talking with a friend lifts your mood, while running errands all at once leaves you drained. That’s okay — the goal isn’t to avoid effort, but to pace yourself. Rest when you need it. Say no without guilt. Let go of “should” and choose what truly supports your well-being. Simple routines, balanced meals, quiet time, and doing one thing at a time all help protect your energy. And when your energy is protected, everything feels more manageable. It’s not about doing less — it’s about doing what matters, with intention and calm. You deserve to feel steady and supported. Treat your energy like something precious — because it is.
