I think it’s referring more towards your authentic self. Not the mask you have in front of friends and the persona you carry on nor the mask you have when with family, but when you are alone and your most vulnerable and genuine self. I think this can also refer to your ambitions and aspirations that aren’t created by external influences such as your parents wanting you to be a doctor, lawyer, etc. or even what the world expects of you, but rather what YOU actually want and who you want to be. I think it means to be you despite any fear of being judged.

Personally, I start with identifying what triggers or causes the tank to drain. See if those can be minimized and/or avoided.

Here's a few other things you can try:

  1. Nature, take a walk, breath fresh air.
  2. Mindfulness and meditation
  3. Sounds cheesy, but thankfulness, make a list of things you're thankful for, this refills positive energy
  4. Don't negate the basics. (staying hydrated, eating healthy, quality sleep)

If you are genuinely a horrible person who has been faking nice but then you start spending more time being horrible, You will have a harder time faking. Or, if you are genuinely not horrible but have been pretending to be, you won't want to be anymore. So, which is it?
