While out for a run other day, my mind wandered to energy efficiency ratings associated with appliances and how we, too, utilize energy at different rates based on a variety of things. At physical level, we burn energy constantly and can improve our efficiency through diet, exercise and weight control. We exert mental energy thinking, problem solving, brainstorming, worrying and more. We renew our spiritual energy through prayer, meditation or quiet time, reading, etc. It makes sense that we want to be as energy efficient as possible in order to function at our peak and feel our best. Identifying your energizers and your energy robbers can help you improve your energy efficiency so that are stronger and feel your best. Begin by identifying energy leaks in your life. Are you losing energy to annoyances that are getting in way of efficiency? It might be something like a messy desk or unorganized office, constant interruptions, tools that don't function properly, or a project you've been procrastinating about starting. Annoyances like these (which we refer to as "tolerations" in coaching) can be costly not only in energy they consume, but also in decreased productivity and efficiency that they cause. Next, take a look at energy drains in your life? Drains are bigger than leaks. They cost you much more and leave you feeling tired, grumpy, frustrated or stuck. Perhaps you are working in an environment that is not conducive to your most creative efforts. Maybe you are continuously facing financial pressure from not having sufficient income to cover your outflow. Or, is there someone in your life sapping your energy - a co-worker, friend or family member? Finally, look at "energizers" in your life. What are your sources of inspiration and feeling fabulous? Is it time to make a change to eliminate energy leaks and drains and reconnect with your positive energy sources in order to re-energize and revitalize your life?
