Ten More Energy Vampires to Weed Out

CULPRITS OF CHRONIC STRESS: Since we covered the effects of Chronic stress in earlier chapters, I will not go back through the understanding of what elevated cortisol can do to your brain and your health. However, it is on this list because it is a major energy vampire. When we allow ourselves to remain in a state of stress or anxiety, it can wear us down faster than physical exertion. 

We were not designed to be in constant stress and when we are, it destroys our ability to manage the three major players in establishing greatness.       

Ten more energy vampires to consider are:

1.   Disorganization or clutter
2.   Perfectionism
3.   Over-Thinking
4.   Negativity
5.   Trouble saying “No”
6.   Too much junk food or sugar
7.   Too much caffeine           
8.   No clarity or written vision
9.   No written goals
10.   Fault-finding or Cynicism

This is certainly not an exhaustive list but my hope is that you are beginning to pull all of these facts together and consider a routine that will empower you and help you to live a higher standard of life.
