Are you constantly battling inner voices, stuck in worry, self-blame, and vague anxiety? Do you feel drained before you even start your day? This invisible force is spirit depletion, a major waste of your precious energy and potential.
Many of us make life harder than it needs to be, getting trapped in overthinking instead of taking action. As the saying goes, "A general on the march does not chase after rabbits." Intelligent people focus their limited energy on what truly matters. Wasting 80% of your energy on worry leaves you with little capacity to act, leading to fatigue, indecision, and missed opportunities.
Spirit depletion isn't just "part of life" or work; it's the cost of poorly managing our mental energy, often fueled by wishful musings, high sensitivity, insecurity, and the pursuit of perfection. It's time to stop fighting yourself and start living.
In this video, we explore the true cost of spirit depletion and reveal powerful strategies to overcome it. Learn how to:
Focus on your circle of influence, not just concern.
Accept yourself and let go of perfectionism.
Break down daunting tasks into manageable steps.
Declutter your physical and mental space ("Dan-shari").
Replenish your spirit through hobbies, reading, and solitude.
Reduce worry through exercise and helping others.
Cultivate a positive attitude and practice self-love.
Build a supportive environment and avoid draining relationships.
Find healing and perspective through travel.
Action is the key to resolving insecurity and reclaiming your energy. Stop wasting your time and attention on needless worry. Invest that energy in building your inner self and creating a life that feels lighter and more fulfilling.

00:00Stop needlessly depleting your spirit.
00:04The greatest waste of a person is making life difficult for oneself.
00:09Before doing anything, there are always two inner voices constantly battling to do or not to do.
00:17Feelings like self-blame and vague anxiety greatly affect one's energy.
00:23People often say, a general on the march does not chase after rabbits.
00:28Intelligent people know how to focus their time on what matters, while fools waste their time worrying and self-blaming.
00:38Those with resilience do not worry, because once they have thought things through, they act immediately.
00:44Action is the key to resolving these insecurities.
00:49Have you ever experienced such situations?
00:52Before an exam, you feared failing.
00:55When a task went slightly wrong, you couldn't sleep all night for fear that your superior would not approve.
01:04When it came time to make a choice, you hesitated for an extended period.
01:10Experiencing these feelings is a clear sign of spirit depletion, people have limited energy.
01:16We only have 100% energy, but if 80% is wasted on self-blame and worry, our ability to act naturally declines.
01:27In psychology, spirit depletion is explained as the process by which we manage ourselves while expending mental energy.
01:35When our energy runs low, we fall into a state of depletion that, over time, makes us feel tired, anxious, and indecisive.
01:47This invisible drain is collapsing your life.
01:51What exhausts you is not work or life itself, but the depletion of your spirit.
01:58As the French thinker Blaise Pascal once said, man is a thinking reed.
02:05Humans are intelligent beings, and because of our capacity to think, our civilization continuously develops.
02:14However, when thinking turns into wishful musings, it only leads to spiritual drain.
02:19Before we delve deeper, remember to follow our channel for more truths about money and to help you quickly achieve financial freedom.
02:29Finance Hacked warmly greets you and our dear friends.
02:34Recently, I watched a short film in an international competition titled Saturday.
02:40This Italian short film is only three minutes long but very realistic.
02:45On a Saturday morning, a man living alone eats a banana while contemplating his to-do list for the day,
02:53washing dishes, doing laundry, paying bills, cleaning the bathroom, taking out the trash,
03:00calling his mother, and planning something interesting for the evening.
03:05Before starting his tasks, he visualizes everything in his mind,
03:10calculating possible difficulties and unfavorable outcomes.
03:15He keeps thinking and rethinking, trying to determine the best approach.
03:21Consequently, a great deal of mental energy is wasted as the small tasks gradually pile up.
03:29The whole day passes by with nothing accomplished.
03:33The main character in the film is a typical example of someone with a spirit-depleting personality,
03:39trapped in inner worries that prevent progress.
03:42What truly tires you is not the work itself but the unresolved emotions,
03:48and what really propels you forward is action.
03:51Spirit depletion exists everywhere.
03:54Too many things drain our energy, household chores, work pressure, relationship troubles,
04:01family expectations, and the control of consumerism.
04:05Truly talented people know how to resist this drain.
04:10The Japanese psychologist Nokomura Sanku, who at 90 years old has not yet retired,
04:17has dedicated her life to writing the book Stop Studying, Life is Worth Living.
04:22She offers a sincere remedy for an age in which everyone suffers from overthinking.
04:30Why do we always feel anxious and exhausted?
04:34Mostly because we overthink about the future, leading to severe spirit depletion.
04:40If we continue down this path, the burden we bear will only grow heavier,
04:45and the future will not turn out as we hoped.
04:49Suniko believes that worrying about the future is pointless because no one can predict it.
04:56In her youth, she was fortunate to have a happy family,
05:00yet she married an alcoholic husband who did not care about the family.
05:05She had to work hard, raise young children, and perform countless household duties.
05:11Yet she remained cheerful, eating when hungry, sleeping when tired, and living life decently.
05:20There was no trace of stubbornness in her, deep-seated stubbornness only breeds resentment.
05:27When we stop depleting our spirit, focus on what truly matters, and take one step at a time,
05:33we will be surprised to find that our worries slowly vanish without notice.
05:38Thus, the greatest waste of a person is making life difficult for oneself.
05:44A well-known British self-help book, Mr. Frog Goes to the Psychologist, states,
05:50there is no criticism stronger than self-criticism, and no judge harsher than ourselves.
05:57The greatest waste is pushing oneself into a dead end.
06:02Within, it feels as if two selves are in constant conflict.
06:06In reality, the adversary we are always battling is not the outside world or other people,
06:13it is our own highly sensitive, insecure, and perfectionistic self.
06:20On online forums, a thread once asked,
06:23Why do introverts suffer from severe spirit depletion?
06:27A netizen's response struck a chord with many,
06:31sharing that even deciding to wear a nice outfit to go out involved a long internal struggle.
06:38Speaking up in class required countless rounds of overthinking.
06:43At gatherings, they tried to join the conversation yet ended up saying nothing.
06:49Even posting a status update on social media could keep them up all night with worry.
06:55Introverts are often highly sensitive and deeply concerned with how others perceive and judge them.
07:03During interactions, they constantly question whether they have made a mistake or said something
07:09inappropriate.
07:10They worry about others' judgments, even feeling anxious from a fleeting remark.
07:16These thoughts accumulate daily, trapping them in a spiral of unnecessary thinking that makes life increasingly difficult.
07:25High sensitivity often comes with setting very high standards for oneself,
07:31leading to an overly harsh attitude toward oneself.
07:35These lofty standards are closely tied to insecurity.
07:39When they discover their flaws, they quickly fall into self-blame or feelings of inadequacy.
07:47In Sartre's novel The Wall, there is a line that goes,
07:51Keeping oneself in check at all times is very foolish and drains an enormous amount of energy.
07:58Our unhappiness stems from being consumed by our inner thoughts,
08:02which severely sap our spirit and impair our ability to make sound decisions.
08:07This, in turn, makes studying, working, and socializing much more challenging.
08:16Learning to accept oneself and letting go of the pursuit of perfection is the first step toward
08:21reducing spirit depletion.
08:24The Japanese television series We Can't Become Beasts tells the true story of people with spirit-depleting
08:30personalities.
08:31In the eyes of others, the female lead is a perfect 30-year-old woman, always smiling and
08:39excelling at both work and in love.
08:42However, in reality, she is merely enduring to please others, while internally she is utterly
08:48exhausted by both work and romance.
08:52Everyone aspires to live freely and powerfully like a beast, yet internal worries make life feel
08:58confining and arduous.
09:01When we stop trying so hard to please everyone and cease forcing ourselves to be perfect,
09:07we can live more freely.
09:10We are the creators of our own lives, not merely recipients who passively adapt.
09:16Stop depleting your spirit and direct your energy to where it truly matters,
09:21Stephen Covey, in his book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People,
09:27introduces the concepts of the circle of concern and the circle of influence.
09:32The circle of concern encompasses all the things we care about daily, family, weather, health,
09:40career, and so on, whereas the circle of influence includes the things we can change or affect,
09:46such as academic results and work performance.
09:49The core idea is to remind us to focus on what we can control rather than wasting energy on what we
09:57cannot.
09:59One circle of concern is usually larger than their circle of influence.
10:04It's like when you aspire for a promotion, concentrate on improving your job performance to influence
10:11your boss's decision.
10:12But if you only dwell on your circle of concern and complain about a boss who doesn't appreciate you,
10:19you waste time on uncontrollable matters and spiral into helplessness.
10:25To reduce spirit depletion and enhance effectiveness,
10:28we must learn to shrink our circle of concern and expand our circle of influence.
10:33Proactive people focus on their sphere of influence rather than on matters beyond their control.
10:40A hobby is a wonderful remedy to relieve inner unrest.
10:45Life inevitably brings moments of sorrow, and hobbies can provide a private realm where you are undisturbed.
10:53Allowing you to momentarily escape life's burdens and recharge your energy to take action.
10:59Action is the key to combating spirit depletion.
11:05Psychological analyst Karen Horny, in her book Our Inner Conflicts, explains that when we face our
11:11internal conflicts and work to resolve them, we gain greater mental freedom.
11:17The spiral of spirit depletion is the result of repetitive overthinking and constant hesitation.
11:23We often spend too much time on trivial matters, neglecting what is truly important.
11:32This depletion merely keeps us stagnant.
11:35Learn to stop wasting your precious resources, time and attention, by thinking and then acting without delay.
11:44Action is the most effective antidote to depletion.
11:47If you spend too much time depleting your spirit, you are essentially losing time that could be used to solve your problems.
11:56When confronted with a daunting task, we often feel overwhelmed by the complexity and drawn-out nature of our approach,
12:04which diminishes our ability to take action.
12:08Learn to break your goals into small, manageable tasks and stages to boost your initial motivation.
12:14Start with achievable micro-goals, and as you accomplish each one, you'll build momentum and enthusiasm, generating a positive cycle.
12:26As the old saying goes, a general on the march does not chase after rabbits.
12:32Intelligent people know how to focus their time on what truly matters,
12:37whereas those who severely deplete their spirit spend their time in hesitation and worry.
12:42Ultimately, we are the architects of our own suffering, and the only ones who can put an end to it.
12:51May we all reduce our depletion so that our hearts remain open and we come to believe that life is truly worth living.
12:59Invest the time you waste depleting your spirit in cultivating and building your inner self,
13:05spirit depletion is a hardship of our age.
13:07Some people overthink simply because of others' stares.
13:13Some linger over an offhand remark, and some cannot let go of past issues.
13:20Continually inflicting pain on themselves.
13:24Over time, even the strongest individuals will be weakened by these unseen thoughts.
13:29One book once stated,
13:32The depletion caused by fighting with oneself is the root of all pain.
13:38Truly wise individuals know how to reject idle thoughts and stop depleting their spirit.
13:45Today, I have compiled 100 ways to reduce this depletion.
13:50When you begin to take action, trust that all anxiety and insecurity will gradually be healed and calmed.
13:59Learn to practice dan-n-ai, also known as the art of letting go, releasing what is unnecessary.
14:07Many people live their entire lives like characters from Lu Tong Nguyen's writings,
14:13whenever they encounter something.
14:14They pick it up and carry it on their back, refusing to stop even when utterly exhausted,
14:21until finally that burden crushes them.
14:25Our lives are much the same.
14:27As material possessions accumulate, the weight on our hearts grows heavier.
14:33Excessive material belongings become burdens on our journey through life.
14:38Learn to control material desires and begin practicing dan-sheri to clear out useless items,
14:44making space for happiness.
14:47In dan-sheri, author Yamashita Haidko explains that,
14:52on a profound level, it is a method of reorganizing one's life and living in the present.
14:58In the future, strive to simplify your life and clear the burdens from your heart.
15:04Discard ten tangible items to transform your invisible world.
15:10First, those worn-out socks that have lost their elasticity, if only one pair remains.
15:16Throw them away.
15:17Second, shoes that haven't been worn for over a year, which you will no longer use.
15:23So discard them.
15:24Third, faded, deformed, or overly garish clothing.
15:28Eliminate them.
15:30Fourth, prescription glasses that have become too light to use.
15:33Don't keep them.
15:35Fifth, open personal care products from last year that remain unfinished.
15:40Toss.
15:42Them out.
15:42Sixth, broken umbrellas or raincoats.
15:46Dispose of them.
15:47Seventh, random flyers and small cards received by chance.
15:53Throw them into the trash immediately.
15:55Eighth, forgotten frozen foods in your refrigerator past their storage time.
16:01Don't eat them.
16:02Throw them out.
16:02Ninth, old, rusty pots and pans that haven't been used in ages.
16:08Discard and replace them.
16:10And tenth, withered ornamental plants on the balcony.
16:13Dispose of them immediately.
16:15Additionally, read more books.
16:18We all live in a society where we must abide by rules, sometimes leaving us feeling stifled
16:25and unable to fully express our emotions and desires.
16:28What should you do when you're angry but afraid to vent?
16:34If the old isn't cleared away, the new cannot come.
16:38When you feel anxious or fatigued, turn to a book.
16:42Reading can help alleviate depression and foster a healthier state of mind.
16:47For anyone, reading is an excellent remedy against mental drain.
16:54The more you read, the broader your horizons become, and the more your spirit is invigorated.
17:00The difficult to understand, the seemingly unsolvable, and other impasses in life can often be resolved through the answers found within books.
17:10To start, carry a book with you and read a few pages while waiting for the bus or riding in a vehicle.
17:18Jot down quotes that inspire you for those sad moments.
17:22Read political or current affairs newspapers to stay updated and seize opportunities.
17:28Take a stroll through a bookstore when you feel unsettled.
17:33Commit to reading at least one book each month.
17:35Listen to audiobooks for 10 to 30 minutes before sleep.
17:40Learn some basics of psychology to guide and adjust your emotions.
17:44After finishing a book, write down your reflections.
17:48Explore effective reading techniques such as skimming, detailed reading, and regular practice.
17:54And finally, engage in discussions about what you've read.
17:58Sharing your impressions with others.
18:01Next, avoid meddling.
18:03In other people's affairs.
18:05Have you ever encountered a situation like,
18:09Why did I say so much when that person still wouldn't listen?
18:14Clearly, it was for their own good, so why won't they change?
18:19I told them not to do that.
18:22Yet they persist, and it really infuriates me.
18:27In these complaints, you will come to realize that the more you try to change others,
18:32the more energy you waste.
18:33As one author said, when we try to change others or demand that they do something,
18:40we are inviting trouble upon ourselves.
18:43The less we interfere in others' lives, the more we avoid much of life's sorrow.
18:49First, do not criticize others lightly.
18:53Second, avoid meddling in others' private matters.
18:57Third, even if you dislike someone's lifestyle, do not try to change it.
19:02Fourth, accept in matters affecting personal interest, avoid arguing with others.
19:08Fifth, when someone makes a promise, do not expect them to always keep it.
19:13Sixth, do not be overly concerned with how others perceive you.
19:18Seventh, if someone does not need your help, don't force excessive kindness.
19:24Eighth, do not let others' emotions affect you.
19:27Ninth, remember that everyone has their own path, so do not fret over someone else's future.
19:34And tenth, when you hear others grumble about bosses or colleagues,
19:38refrain from trying to explain things for them.
19:41A study published in the Japanese World Newspaper showed that people who exercise regularly
19:48feel 52% happier than those who do not.
19:53And that those who are sufficiently active are 29% happier than those who are not active.
20:00This means that exercise is an effective way to reduce anxiety.
20:06So, the third tip, reduce worry by moving.
20:09When you feel exhausted or stressed, exercise immediately, run one or two laps around the
20:17park or engage in a serious workout at the gym.
20:21Then, take a soothing hot shower and have a good night's sleep, and all your troubles will
20:27fade away.
20:28When you're tense, try practicing yoga to relax your body and mind.
20:33After an early finish at work, walk home while enjoying the scenic route, swim once or twice
20:39a week, dance when feeling anxious, invite friends for a game of badminton after work,
20:46join an energetic basketball game.
20:50Form a small habit like jumping rope 50 times a day, head to the gym and work out until you
20:56sweat, and, before bed, perform some stretching exercises to relax your muscles for a restful sleep,
21:03some have said that when you feel insecure and anxious, help others and do good deeds.
21:10You might think that when you are suffering, helping others will only add to your pain,
21:15but in reality, it works differently.
21:18When your mind is focused on assisting others, you tend to forget your own sorrows.
21:23As an old saying goes, those who do good always have joy in their hearts, though fortune has
21:30not yet come, disaster stays far away.
21:35By becoming a beacon of light, you dispel the surrounding gloom, and both suffering and
21:41spirit depletion vanish.
21:43So, help others when you are stuck, compliment strangers, volunteer, share your favorite snacks
21:51with friends, lend a hand with small tasks naturally, hold the door for someone following
21:57you, offer your seat on the bus to someone in need, listen and encourage others, always
22:03greet people with a smile, carry an extra umbrella on a rainy day for someone without one, and when
22:09entering an elevator, check if anyone else needs to get on before the doors close.
22:16Some compare life to a glass of muddy.
22:20Water
22:20When you blend into a crowd, you only stir up the mud further until the water is so murky
22:27that nothing can be seen.
22:30But when you are alone, the impurities gradually settle at the bottom, and the water becomes
22:36clear.
22:37It is only in solitude that one soul can recognize its own clarity and purity, experiencing the
22:44essence and grandeur of life.
22:46When your soul is in pain, grant yourself some quiet space, do what you love, and your life
22:53will feel lighter.
22:54So when you feel lonely and troubled, try these, watch an inspirational speech, take a hot bath
23:02to wash away the day's worries, cook your favorite meal, focus on painting as a way to relieve
23:08stress, keep a journal of your emotions.
23:13Watch a few documentaries to broaden your horizons, plant a new flower, sit by the window to watch
23:19the sky and feel time pass, listen to your favorite music to ease your thoughts, and
23:25finally, flip through old photo albums to reminisce about your past self, it is often said that
23:31a person's success or failure depends on the environment around them.
23:37Your circle of friends typically determines what kind of person you become and how you live
23:42your life.
23:43When you surround yourself with negative people, you are easily drawn into pessimistic thoughts
23:50and complaints.
23:52Conversely, if you proactively join groups with positive energy, you will be accompanied
23:58by exceptional people and become a better version of yourself.
24:03Therefore, changing your environment plays a critical role in your success.
24:08Stop engaging in worthless social relationships and avoid gatherings that are merely about eating.
24:15Instead, connect with people who share your life perspective, network with individuals holding
24:21higher positions in your field, learn effective communication skills to build connections, reduce
24:28flattery aimed at personal gain and instead foster mutual support.
24:32Do not rush into negative groups because of temporary difficulties.
24:36Consider changing your living situation or job to meet new people.
24:42And start afresh.
24:45Use your current platform to meet superior individuals.
24:49If you are a writer, seek out veteran authors.
24:52If you are an artist, attend events featuring renowned painters, participate in corporate talent
24:59training courses to meet like-minded people and build new relationships.
25:03And most importantly, focus on improving yourself so that outstanding individuals are naturally
25:09drawn to you.
25:10Online, someone once asked, why must we go?
25:15And another responded, when you have seen towering mountains that reach the clouds and experience
25:21the vastness of the ocean, you will no longer be troubled by life's hardships and obstacles.
25:27Even when faced with failures and setbacks, you will quickly overcome and recover.
25:34For those stuck in the trivial worries of life, travel is a powerful remedy to heal inner pain.
25:42When you journey along roads, admire varied landscapes, and meet new people, you truly experience the
25:50beauty of life, climb a mountain to watch a sunrise, which can heal many of your sorrows, visit a
25:57beach to feel the refreshing sea breeze, observe a blade of grass growing by the roadside to
26:03appreciate the strength of life.
26:05When you absorb the rich history of ancient fortresses, petty concerns will fade away.
26:11Witness the hazy desert or the dim twilight along a river to understand the poetic soul of
26:17Shiendiu, try visiting a snowy plateau to cleanse your inner self, admire stone bridges in the
26:23rain and ancient roads while soaking in the charm of river landscapes.
26:30Ride a horse and relax on the expansive prairie, take a walk through an old town to feel life's
26:36pulse, and finally, when traveling, try camping outdoors and marvel at the night sky.
26:42In the book The Power of Emotions there is a saying, everything has two sides, as long as you do not
26:49dwell on the negative, people can usually focus on the positive. Often, the attitude you choose will
26:56determine your quality of life. If you constantly complain and dwell in sorrow, your life will be
27:04shrouded in gloomy clouds. But if you maintain a positive attitude, even if you hit rock bottom,
27:11you can still find a way to climb up. First, no matter how terrible things get, try to see the
27:19good in them. Second, do not obsess over potential future troubles. Third, create daily positive
27:26affirmations for yourself. Fourth, when you feel down, shift your focus to cheerful thoughts. Fifth,
27:34practice long-term meditation to guide your mind to a peaceful state. Sixth, reduce your consumption
27:40of negative short videos and bad news. Seventh, when faced with difficulties, don't overthink.
27:48Try and move on. Eighth, do not let. Today's emotions dictate tomorrows. Ninth, work wholeheartedly
27:56so that success follows naturally. And tenth, before going to sleep, forgive everything so that you may
28:04awaken with a refreshed soul. Some say that the anxiety and fatigue we feel often stem from a lack
28:10of self-love. If you currently feel overwhelmed by negative energy, ask yourself, how long has it been
28:19since you have truly loved yourself? Throughout the year, how many moments of unexpected joy have you
28:26prepared for yourself? When you are with others, do you care more about your own feelings or theirs?
28:33Oscar Wilde once said, To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
28:41From now on, listen to your own thoughts more and pay closer attention to your feelings.
28:48Once you start loving yourself, you will find that life is no longer filled with sorrow but instead
28:54with the warmth and gentle joy of living. First, nurture a hobby to enrich your life. Second,
29:01when you achieve even a small success, reward yourself. Third, each day before you head out,
29:09stand in front of a mirror and encourage yourself. Fourth, stop engaging in self-blame. Fifth,
29:16on your birthday, treat yourself to a bouquet or a gift. Sixth, permit yourself to relax and take breaks
29:23when needed. Seventh, compile a wish list and strive to accomplish it. Eighth, take a commemorative photo
29:30set. Ninth, invest in a good set of skincare products without guilt. And tenth, accept your imperfections
29:41and love even your flaws. There is a very true saying, the people and things that drain your energy
29:47are not necessarily good people or good things. Don't worry, don't ask, don't care. Let what has
29:56happened pass by and do not overly worry about what has yet to occur. As in the saying a general on the
30:04battlefield does not chase after rabbits, devote your time and energy to nurturing your inner self.
30:10In doing so, you can sidestep external disturbances and rediscover the peace and strength within your
30:18heart. Goodbye and see you next time.
