When we are feeling overwhelmed, it can be tough to know why or how to get back to a more slow living, neutral state. Lately I have been applying the idea of energetic input versus output to my life and it has been a game changer! Think of this like minimalism and decluttering but for your energy levels. If you feel like you're either on top of the world or completely depressed, this new concept can help you shift your perspective and care for yourself in a whole new way. Maintaining balance isn't always easy, our energy levels are usually tipping from one side to the other, here is how to come back to neutral before you completely crash.
