You can't pour from an empty cup *

Imagine that your daily energy is like a cup.

You can't pour from an empty cup.

There are things you can do to fill it up: sleep, nutrition, meditation, laughter. etc.

There are forces that drain it. Some are good (running), some are bad (anxiety), some can be both (stress).

Working hard in the gym or at the office allows you to produce something of value.

But positive outputs still drain you.

To keep your bucket full, you have to refill it on a regular basis.

That means making time for sleep, rest, breaks, recovery.

Maintain your energy level.
