Written on
Chapter 1: Understanding Energy Depletion
Do you often feel depleted? Many of us wait until our tasks are completed before indulging in activities that rejuvenate us. We find ourselves constantly reacting to emergencies, which often pushes self-care down the list of priorities.
Even though we manage our time, finances, and projects meticulously, we seldom allocate time for the activities that truly replenish our energy. This isn't just an individual struggle; it's a widespread issue in a society that prioritizes output over well-being.
By redefining how we view energizing activities—from mere ‘rewards’ to necessities—we can break free from this exhausting cycle.
This straightforward 2-step habit can empower you, foster vitality, and help you contribute more effectively to what truly matters to you.
Section 1.1: The 2-Step Energy Raising Practice
I started this practice as a means of recovering from burnout. It not only revitalized me but also transformed my interactions with clients and friends, enhancing my mood. I found myself more enjoyable to be around.
As I adopted this approach, I experienced reduced resistance at work, took on more significant challenges, and generated more creative ideas, all while minimizing wasted time. The quality and volume of my output improved dramatically.
Subsection 1.1.1: Step 1 - Curate Your Energy List
Begin by identifying activities that energize you and keep a record of them. Here are a few examples to get you started:
- Reading a thrilling novel for half an hour
- Experimenting with a new recipe while listening to music
- Enjoying a 20-minute call with an inspiring friend
- Participating in a suitably challenging exercise class
- Playing with your pet
- Immersing yourself in a creative project that feels timeless
- Strolling through your neighborhood while enjoying a podcast
- Gathering with others who share your interests
- Journaling about your recent achievements
At the start of each week, prioritize these energizing practices in your calendar before scheduling work obligations. You might begin with just 30 minutes a day.
Feeling hesitant about this? You might be wondering why you should prioritize activities that invigorate you or how this will impact your productivity.
That's a sign you're doing the essential work of confronting and reshaping the limiting beliefs that often keep us from nurturing ourselves.
These worries will likely fade as you begin to experience the tangible benefits of increased energy in your daily life. Taking care of yourself can lead to a more manageable and fulfilling existence.
Section 1.2: Step 2 - Kickstart Each Day with Intent
Alongside your list of energizing activities, start each day by asking yourself: “What will I do to fuel myself today?”
Before diving into your tasks, take a moment to pause and reflect. Consider the type of energy your body needs that day and how you will acquire it.
Remember, energizing yourself is not a luxury; it's an essential part of living well. If you aspire to lead a fulfilling and vibrant life, you must prioritize proactive energy renewal.
