You will always be frugal and conservative when it comes to spending your energy to the extent that you feel like you are so limited in your capacity for moving forward as if you are an ant or something, if the only way you have to regenerate yourself or your energy is sleep.

The reason why you don’t do what could regenerate your energy is usually one of two things:

You don’t do anything with it once you have it, but instead, you keep doing the same things that you can do with way lesser energy and enthusiasm, and so your body goes like: it seems that there’s no reason for us to aim for giving you all that kind of energy in the first place, because you have clearly demonstrated through your past experience or history that you don’t need it or that you don’t need that amount of it anyway. Proof of that? You did things that can be done with zero energy all day long. You don’t appreciate our effort. The effort that we put into regenerating all that energy for you every single day. And so from now on, we’re just going to stop making that happen again. We’re going to stop producing that amount of energy from now on, because clearly you don’t seem to use it or need it at all in the first place.

And that’s why you feel old and tired all the time.

The second reason is that you don’t do anything to make those regenerative practices any less boring.

You don’t listen to music while meditating because you think it’ll distract you instead of making the session more immersive.

You don’t listen to or watch something when you work out. For some reason you have to concentrate on those lifts like it’s rocket science.

And you don’t have fun your way after accomplishing enough for today.

So you end up skipping on the entire regenerative practice altogether, day after day after day.

So you don’t have a method of gaining your energy back once you spend it.

So you end up never spending it.
