 Energy giver + energy takers 

Identifying Your Energy Givers and Takers is necessary to be self-aware. Self-awareness starts with identifying your personal energy givers and takers in your life. What's taking your energy, and what's giving you energy? Start with paying attention to how you feel after spending time with certain people or engaging in specific activities. Ask yourself the tough questions to help you further understand what's going on with you. What activities make you feel most fulfilled and energized? What activities leave you feeling drained and exhausted? Who are the people in your life that uplift and inspire you, and who are the ones that drain you, according to Sage and Bloom?
