It may not come as a surprise that the clients I work with want some kind of change in their life.
Feeling like change is possible – can be hard to buy in to.
Especially when you are operating from survival mode.
In survival mode, you react to life’s events with a negative mindset.
Stress levels are high and energy levels low.
Combine this with lack of energy recovery, it’s unsurprising you might feel like there just isn’t enough in the tank.⛽🪫
Our overall sense of daily struggle can feel amplified and make any kind of change you desire – feel like a non-starter.
That’s why when you are seeking any kind of change in your life, first pay attention to your energy.
Better manage your 4 energy types with these quick tips:
1. Physical energy😴 (The quantity of our energy)
➡️To support recovery and renewal of your physical energy,
start taking breaks every 90 minutes.
➡️Even stepping away from work for 5 minutes several times across the day pays off.
2. Mental energy 🧠 (The focus of our energy)
➡️Just STOP with the multi-tasking. No one wins.
➡️Avoid the marathons and instead operate like a sprinter.
➡️Do the most important thing first at the start of the day.
➡️Set yourself a timer for focussed attention e.g. 30-60 mins
3. Emotional energy ❣️(The quality of our energy)
➡️Start to notice your emotions across the day.
➡️When you have feelings of negativity, instead of acting on what you might feel compelled to do – take a step back and breathe.
➡️Wait until you feel better and are feeling calmer, before acting.
4. Spiritual energy ⁉️ (The purpose of our energy)
➡️It’s easy when under pressure to impulsively do the thing
that produces a short-term gain without regard for the longer-term impact.
➡️If we want to live a more meaningful and purposeful life, we need to learn to slow down and pause.
➡️Get intentional with your decisions
➡️Ask yourself what is the right thing *for you* to do?
🔸Not enough fuel in your tank?
🔸When it comes to your personal energy which of these energy types, do you most struggle with?
🔸When we feel high positive emotion and energy all sorts of possibilities open up – who doesn’t want to more of that?
