Hi Friend,

If it's not positive energy, it's negative energy.

Getting back to energy as our most valuable resource... energy fuels our actions, drives our productivity and ambitions, and keeps us balanced. But have you ever felt like your energy is leaking away without you realizing it?

Today, let's delve into the concept of "energy leaks."

What exactly are energy leaks?

Well, energy leaks are those subtle, often unnoticed ways in which our energy dissipates, leaving us feeling drained and less effective. If you can picture your energy as a giant reservoir well the leaks would be the cracks that need patching up.

Is there a certain situation in your life or sensation in your body that came to mind when you read that?

And after the patching up will need certain new flows and systems so that the pressure doesn't build to point of cracking again.

Let's start by identifying some sneaky "leaking energy" culprits.

Take a moment to reflect on your day-to-day life and ask yourself:

Technology Overload:

• Do you have a habit of filling idle time (time before bed, in bed, commutes, etc) scrolling on your phone? Are you binge-watching more TV than you'd like?

Excessive screen time can be a significant energy leak.

Procrastination:

• Putting off tasks that you need to do, want to do or that are required of you zaps mental energy and can be one of the most detrimental long-term energy drains. It's time to address procrastination and get things done. (There's an emotion potion for that!)

Unproductive Meetings:

• Are you attending too many meetings instead of completing core tasks that drive progress in projects?

Meetings can "look productive" but drain your energy and time not only in the moment, but keep you from actually do the most effective work.

Negative Conversations in Relationships:

• Are there people in your life who constantly only discuss problems, worries, misery?

It's ok to first try and change the conversations. State your needs and ask to discuss other things and perspectives. A boundary is stating your needs and wants, not immediately cancelling someone out of you life.

Clutter:

• Where's the clutter in your workspace or house? This can be very telling as to what's stuck and stagnant and leaking energy.

A cluttered workspace and home soften leads to a cluttered mind.

Overcommitment:

• Are you saying yes to every request and spreading yourself too thin?

Overcommitment is the fastest energy leak leading to burnout.

The first step to plugging these energy leaks is awareness.

The second step is responsibility - which actually leads to freedom and even more energy!

Stay tuned for that in the next email!

Remember, your energy is valuable, and it's time to invest it where it matters most - and where you will get the highest return!
