Manufacture Your Day by BEING IN CHARGE OF YOUR ENERGY

Have you ever thought that your energy is EVERYTHING?

Be aware that how you think, walk, talk, and interact with others will influence the outcome of all the things you want to achieve.

There are times when my energy is low. If things don’t go my way, I can be really grumpy, and I don’t feel good. Sometimes people think that I am always positive and happy but nothing could be further from the truth. Happiness and positivity take work, a lot of work.

If I cannot control a situation, I let it go as fast as I can and shift my perspective.

Why should I waste my energy on something that I cannot change?

If it’s something within my influence, I go for a run or a walk to clear my head before I tackle the challenge.

There are so many energy-depleting behaviours and that’s why I want you to pay attention to the following positive habits:

• Pay attention to your meals, eat nutritious food, and eat slow – definitely avoid eating at your desk
• Sleep an average of 7 hours
• Make time for exercise or you will eventually have to make time to see the doctor
• “Me-Time” is important = spend some alone time
• Spend time in nature – it will restore your energy in the most  wonderful way
• Get into the habit of blending home-made veggie/fruit smoothies
• Take control of your emotions – ask yourself “Is this really worth getting upset about?” or “How much will this matter a year from now?”
• Breathe and think before you respond
• Allocate your energy wisely: to your family, to your health and well-being, to your contribution to others, and to your work of course
• Take regular technology breaks
• Attitude = Quality of your Energy
• Effort = Quantity of your Energy
• Feel good about the value you add on a daily basis but be kind and patient with yourself during this difficult time

Worth thinking about: How much energy is wasted when you think about things that are outside your control?

Awareness is the first step.

Food for Thought:

In what areas of your life do you have to become more aware of how you invest your mental energy?
