Collecting Your Energy
Between your family, the demands of work, household chores, social activities, etc., finding the
energy to keep up with all your commitments can be exhausting. Everything feels like it needs your
attention now. You??™ve got so much going on in your life that it??™s just one great big juggling
act.? Getting things under control will require energy you simply don??™t have.
There just isn??™t any more left to give.?
Energy is a precious commodity that when spread too thin leaves us feeling drained, overwhelmed,
and stressed. When there??™s too much going on in your life, I call that clutter. Clutter happens when
people feel like they have to attend to everything right now.? This
means you are likely to have a number of half finished projects and no
energy left for yourself.
So how do you get more energy to be able to handle everything?
You don??™t.
That??™s right, you don??™t!?
The truth is, you only have so much energy. Once it??™s used up, there??™s no more. The trick is to
manage your energy more effectively.?
Tips & Strategies
for Managing Your Energy
In order to manage your energy more effectively, you need to make choices for yourself that conserve
your energy. That means, setting priorities.?
This can be challenging because initially you??™ll feel like everything is
a priority. However, when you really take a closer look at all the things
that seem to require your attention, what you will start to notice is you can make choices (albeit sometimes tough choices) about what you will
do now and what you can put off until later or delegate to someone else.?
By setting priorities, you will be able to manage your energy, which will reduce your exhaustion and
stress levels. You will be in control of your life, instead of your life being in control of you.?
Inspiration for Action
On a piece of paper, write
down everything (and I do mean everything) that requires your
attention.? Then take another piece of paper and divide it into 3
columns with the headings: Now, Later, and Delegate.? Be honest
here.? Everything on your first list should not end up in the Now
column.? Once you're finished, look at the Now list and pick the 5
things you are going to do now.? Once those are finished you can look
at the next 5 things you'd like to pursue.? ?
The other important list to
note is the Delegate list.? Delegating some of your responsibilities
to other people is important.? Allowing others to help you will give
you the opportunity to focus your energy on your top 5
priorities.? ?
Keep Expanding
Your Self question
What is one activity in your life that fuels your energy?? Choose to
make time in your day or week to reconnect with that activity.? ?
To Your Incredible and Successful Life!
