Things that Drain Energy

Aloha ‘Ohana!

Here are a few nice things to remember this Easter Sunday from our friends at @everydayhealth:

“How are your energy levels on a scale of 1-10? Finding the things that drain your energy, then changing these things or setting up relevant boundaries can have the best impact on all of us!”

Happy Easter!
