Radiantly Rooted with Rachel

f you’re ending your day feeling completely fried even after checking everything off your list, it’s usually because of hidden energy leaks draining your sacred time and energy. In yoga, we have a concept called brahmacharya, the wise use of energy. Your time, focus, and presence are sacred resources, and when we don’t treat them as such, we leak them in ways that keep us feeling untethered. Today we explore three specific energy leaks: the strong one identity (constantly handling everything), the productivity worth loop (tying your worth to your to-do list), and the automatic yes (people-pleasing at your own expense). Learn to plug these leaks and reclaim your energy.
