=============================================
Energy allows us to do what we need to do.
When we focus our energy on what is important to us and
what we need to get done, we accomplish our goals and tasks.
When we focus our energy on things that will not support
us in getting to where we want to go, then we will not achieve
what is important to us.
There are many energy wasters and we should
be aware of them or they will steal our energy. Giving our
energy to things we cannot control such as traffic jams
or long lines at the grocery store are a waste of energy.
Getting upset isn't going to change it. Giving our energy
to other people in the form of anger is a waste of time
and energy. We cannot change other people. Do what you can
do to resolve the situation and then move on.
Energy wasters steal not only our time,
but also our lives. Since energy is the source of what keeps
us going, energy is our lifeblood. If we waste it we will
be wasting our lives on things that are not adding value.
Stay conscious and ask yourself if the situation
or person is worth your energy. I sometimes receive nasty
e-mails from people. It used to upset me. Now I simply hit
the delete key. I don't waste my energy on someone who doesn't
support me. Constructive feedback is one thing. Criticism
and meanness are another. It is important to learn the difference.
Coaching
Pay attention to where your energy is going.
Are you spending it on things that are important to you
and helping you achieve what you want in life; or is something
else taking your energy? Energy is the lifeblood of living
and if we waste it, we are wasting our lives. If we spend
our energy on things and people that are not supporting
us in achieving our goals, we are throwing away our lives.
We have to keep focused on what we really want and what
is important to us and let the rest go. It is easier said
than done. However, with practice, it gets easier and the
rewards are phenomenal.

it, for it is a faculty of the psyche." Germaine Greer
"Genius is that energy which collects,
combines, amplifies, and animates." Samuel Johnson |
