How are you consuming your energy? What fuels you? What drains you? We all have the same 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: your energy level is a major differentiator in how you effectively make it through each day.

Think your energy needs some tweaking? Try this experiment.
For 1 week, grab a journal or notebook, and document your energy as follows:

1. When you wake up in the morning, how do you feel? Refreshed and raring to go, or dragging your behind? Note how many hours you slept the night before, and what you were doing before you went to bed.

2. Write down what you eat for each meal and snack, and when. Two hours after each meal or snack, notice how you're feeling. Tune into your stomach: does it hurt? Feel bloated? Satisfied? How's your thinking? Clear and high concentration? Or cloudy and foggy?

3. In the middle of performing a task or activity (from changing a tire to watching TV), stop and notice how your feeling. Are you dreading this task, feeling neutral, energized, or is time flying by, because you're having so much fun. How do you feel after you complete the task?

4. In conversations with people in person and over the phone, notice your emotions and how your body feels during the conversation, as well as when you've finished speaking with them. Is there a lightness or heaviness? Constriction or relaxation? If so, where are you feeling this in your
body?

At the end of the week, review your notes. Identify patterns in what gives you energy and what drains your energy. Look at food, activities, people, time of day. Armed with that information, make some changes in week 2 to build your energy and plug the drains. Keep track of how your body responds, continuing to document in your journal.


WRITES OF PASSAGE

Thinking the way we've always thunk keeps us stuck in the same old funk.
