The Spiritual Reason You Feel Drained—And How to Fix It

Have you ever woken up feeling exhausted, even after a full night’s sleep? Or felt completely drained after spending time with certain people? Maybe you’ve been going through life feeling like you’re carrying the weight of the world, but you can’t quite put your finger on why.

I see you. I’ve been there.

The truth is, exhaustion isn’t always just physical. There’s a deeper, spiritual reason you feel so drained, and until you address it, no amount of rest, coffee, or vacations will truly recharge you.

So, let’s talk about it.

Why You Feel Spiritually Drained

  1. You’re Carrying Energy That Isn’t Yours
    If you’re highly sensitive, empathetic, or just someone who deeply cares about others, chances are, you’ve been absorbing their energy—without even realizing it. You walk into a room, and suddenly, you feel heavy. You talk to a friend who’s struggling, and by the end of the conversation, you feel like you need to lie down. That’s not just in your head; that’s real.

  2. You’re Living Out of Alignment
    If you constantly feel drained, ask yourself: Are you living in alignment with your soul? Are you saying "yes" to things that should be a "no"? Are you staying in situations, relationships, or jobs that no longer serve you? Your spirit knows when you’re off-course, and exhaustion is often its way of saying, “Hey, wake up! You’re not supposed to be here.”

  3. You’re Giving Without Receiving
    You pour your heart out to others, always showing up, always being there. But when was the last time someone truly poured into you? If your cup is always empty, of course you feel drained. Giving is beautiful, but giving from an empty well leads to burnout, resentment, and deep fatigue.

  4. You’re Not Protecting Your Energy
    Energy leaks happen when you don’t set boundaries—when you allow toxic people, environments, or even your own negative thoughts to siphon your energy. Imagine a bucket with holes in it. No matter how much water you pour in, it’s never full. That’s what happens when you don’t protect your energy.

How to Fix It and Reclaim Your Energy

Now that we know why you feel this way, let’s fix it.

1. Cleanse Your Energy Daily

Just like you shower to cleanse your body, you need to cleanse your energy. Here’s how:

  • Take salt baths – Salt absorbs negative energy and helps you reset.
  • Burn sage or palo santo – These clear stagnant energy and restore balance.
  • Visualize a white light surrounding you – Imagine it pushing out anything that doesn’t belong to you.

2. Stop Carrying What Isn’t Yours

The next time you feel weighed down, ask yourself: “Is this mine to carry?” If it’s not, let it go. Say this out loud:

"I release all energy that is not mine. I send it back with love."

This simple practice can work wonders.

3. Set Boundaries Like Your Life Depends on It—Because It Does

  • Say "no" without guilt.
  • Limit time with people who drain you.
  • Protect your mornings—how you start your day sets the tone for everything.

Boundaries are not selfish. They are necessary for your survival.

4. Reconnect With What Fills Your Soul

Ask yourself: What truly lights me up? And then do more of that.

  • Dance.
  • Meditate.
  • Spend time in nature.
  • Create.
  • Laugh.

Your soul is begging for you to reconnect with joy. Listen to it.

5. Call Back Your Power

If you’ve been giving your energy away, it’s time to take it back. Every morning, say:

"I call all of my energy and power back to me now. I am whole."

Feel the shift. Own your energy. This is your birthright.

You don’t have to live drained. You don’t have to feel exhausted all the time. Your spirit is speaking to you, telling you that something needs to change. Honor that.

You deserve to feel vibrant. You deserve to feel full of life.

And if you’re ready to reclaim your energy and step into your power, stick with me. I’ll guide you there.
