The bucket of health and energy

Think that your health and energy are a bucket of water. In your everyday life there are things which fill your bucket i.e sleep, nutritious food, enjoyment, laughter and other forms of entertainment.

There are also forces that drain your energy such as stress of work or school, exercise, running late and other forms of anxiety and stress.

All drainage factors are not negative. Sometimes to live a productive and healthy life it is important to let go of somethings from that bucket. Positive outputs can also drain your energy over period. Working in a gym, running, office, school they all drain your energy but encourages and makes you produce something valuable.
