Purposeful Energy Management Balance Sheet
Most people realize the importance of regularly checking their
financial balance sheet, whether it's in their business or
personal life, but how many of us maintain and check our energy
balance sheet? I suggest it may be at least as valuable as the
financial one.
Here's how to do it:
Observe and record for at least one week what drains your energy
and what adds to your energy and well-being. Energy drainers are
often those stress-producing attitudes and reactions to daily
occurrences, while energy boosters are the energy-accumulating
attitudes and responses.
Notice that you're looking more at your reaction and responses
to situations rather than the situations themselves, although
you may find certain patterns and situation/reaction combos
where a certain situation invariably and consistently leads to a
reaction or response.
For example, sustained loud noise may consistently lead to an
outburst of anger, while walking around in nature may
consistently lead to a sense of peace and well-being.
As you pinpoint each deficit go to your heart center and ask how
to turn that deficit into an asset. Commit to taking action on
at least one deficit each week. Before you know it, you'll
experience a rejuvenation of energy that you can then apply to
your life -- your life on purpose.
