Avoid Energy Vampires

“Did you know that emotional stress has a thousand times more of an impact on your adrenal glands than physical stress?” says Biokult nutritionist, Rosie Millen, who specialises in fatigue and energy management. Toxic relationships can be easily identified by the way they make you feel.

BOOST: If you can’t avoid time with toxic people, try to understand why they act the way they do, suggests psychologist Dr Meg Arroll (drmegarroll.com). “Ask if everything is OK in a genuine and non-confrontational way to avoid defensiveness. And fill up your emotional energy reservoirs by spending time with people whose company you enjoy.”
