Why Life Feels So Draining and How to Steady Yourself Again | DIVO- Ted Talks
Life can feel heavy sometimes, especially when everything seems to pile up at once. In this episode, I share openly about exhaustion, awareness, and how our relationship to life influences what we experience.
__________
Quote from the Episode:
“Nothing is going to destroy you unless you let it. Practice is what steadies you.”
__________
Description:
When life feels exhausting, it is easy to believe it is just happening to us. In this episode, I talk about recognizing how our thoughts, beliefs, and expectations shape our experience. Awareness is not about blame. It is about noticing patterns and understanding how what we put out into the world often comes back to us. That awareness is what creates the space for change.
Stress and emotions do not just live in the mind. They show up as tightness, fatigue, and discomfort in the body. Yoga, exercise, and stretching help release stored tension so the nervous system can settle. Movement prepares the body for meditation by clearing mental noise and creating a steadier emotional state. This combination allows new perspectives and possibilities to emerge.

Show Notes:
What We Explore In This Episode:
• Why feeling exhausted by life is often about relationship, not circumstance
• How unconscious beliefs shape what we experience day to day
• The role of movement in releasing stress stored in the body
• Why meditation becomes more effective after physical practice
• How consistent practice helps you feel steadier, not fixed but supported
__________
Highlights:
• 🌱 Awareness is not about blame. It is the doorway to change.
• 🧠 Exhaustion is often a relationship to life, not just a schedule problem.
• 🧘♂️ The body holds what the mind does not finish processing.
• 🌬️ Movement helps release patterns before the mind can reset.
• 🔄 You are not separate from what you are experiencing. You are part of how it unfolds.
__________
Reflection Prompt:
Where in your life are you feeling worn down not because of what is happening, but because of how you are relating to it? What might shift if you met that moment with awareness instead of judgment?
__________
Practice Prompt:
Today, notice one moment where you feel tight, rushed, or overwhelmed. Move your body gently for a few minutes, then pause and breathe before moving on. Let the body lead the reset instead of the mind.
