If you are feeling this way, perhaps it is time for what I call a "Life Tune Up.
"  There are two parts to the tune up - identify and eliminate energy drainers and increase things that give you energy.
  To start, make a written list of the specific energy drainers present in both your work and personal life.
Include everything that drains your energy: things you're tolerating, things in the way of accomplishing what you desire (including personal fears, etc.
), behaviors counter-productive to your well-being, irritations, physical clutter, an excessive amount of personal commitments, unfinished business, debt, draining relationships, and so forth.
Once you've done this, make a second list of everything that gives you energy: things and relationships that revitalize you, things that increase your happiness and joy, things and actions that simplify and de-clutter your life, things like exercise that make your body feel good, etc.
  As you make the second list, make the distinction between things that stimulate you and things that energize you since some stimulants can appear to be energizing, but actually drain your energy.
Once you have your lists, commit to using them.
Start to actively eliminate (or neutralize) one energy drainer a week from your life.
Write down next to each energy drainer how you plan on eliminating or neutralizing it (i.
e.
replacing it with an energy enhancer, create a budget for eliminating debt that includes cutting back on specific things, have a garage sale to eliminate clutter, update your resume and start networking more actively in order to start pursuing a new job, etc.
).
Also, decide when you'll eliminate or neutralize each thing on the list and write down your goal dates for each thing.
Some of the things on this list may be unchangeable facts in your life (i.
e.
, a sick relative, a difficult coworker, etc.
).
If this is the case, a shift in attitude is necessary.
Though "neutralizing" something that has been bothering you can be challenging, remember the goal is to help yourself feel better.
So, try converting that drainer into something that is neutral, a learning opportunity, or a gratitude (asking yourself what in the situation you are actually grateful for).
As you're working on eliminating energy drainers, work on increasing the activities on your second list - those things that provide you with energy.
Start by adding one of your revitalizing activities to your life each and every day.
And, don't worry about starting small.
As you eliminate more energy drainers, you'll start to have more time free up in your life as well as energy.
While you're working at tuning yourself up, it's likely that some energy drainers on your list will disappear without conscious effort.
That's the wonderful reversal that happens as we actively direct our energy.
  But, like all aspects of personal well being, maintaining our energy takes attention and work.
So, make it a practice to work at your lists regularly - adding to them and crossing things off.
  Or consider hiring a Life Coach or a Personal Coach to support you, or enlist a friend to do this with you.
  The more support you have the better and the more you do, the more likely you are to experience and sustain feeling energized and revitalized.
