Have you ever looked on in awe at friends who are the life and soul of a party, or who thrive in stressful situations? Aside from physical factors, such as tiredness or illness, there's another reason why some of us feel drained more quickly than others - our personality.
Curious to find out if your character could be affecting your energy levels? Here's what you need to know...
Introverts vs extroverts
Our energy levels and risk of burnout can be attributed to our Myers Briggs personality type, with one poll stating that introverts are significantly more likely to feel worn out or tired than extroverts. ‘Finding out if you’re an introvert or extrovert is life-changing for many people, as it helps you change your approach to life and set important boundaries around your health,’ says energy mindset mentor Haulwen Nicholas (magicalmojocoach.com).
Let’s face it, modern life doesn’t favour introverts – prioritising downtime is even seen as a weakness. Everyone has to recuperate from life’s stresses and strains, but some need to recharge sooner than others. 'In Western society, extroversion is predominantly promoted and the environment is often characterised by noise and early encouragement to socialise and interact with others,' says Haulwen.
