Today’s frenetic environment sometimes sees us concentrate only on how we spend money, not very often on how we use energy. Still, your actual money is your energy. Every idea, activity, or encounter either depletes you or revitalises you. And if you don’t properly manage your energy, like money, you will always feel broke—psychologically, emotionally, and physically.
Think about it: You begin your day with a full tank. Ask yourself right now who or what is pulling away from it without providing back?
The way you consume your everyday energy determines your success whether you are starting a company, raising a family, or following a passion. Smart people guard their energy rather than just handle time.
How to intelligently use your energy:
1. Establish Exact Limits
Say “no” without remorse. Guard your serenity from people or circumstances always taking but never giving.
2. Give high-impact jobs top priority.
Tasks are not all equivalent. Concentrate on what really advances your life, not just what keeps you preoccupied.
3. Stay away from energy traps.
Silent energy robbers are excessive pondering, relentless scrolling, poisonous chats. Find them and remove the cord.
4. Reset Deliberate
These are not luxuries: sleep, prayer, silence, strolls, inventiveness. They are your fuel. Set aside time for what restores your spirit.
You cannot, really, pour from an empty cup. The more you shield and channel your energy, the more strongly you will present in every aspect of life.
Thus, next time you are exhausted, inquire yourself:
“Is my energy being spent on the wrong things or is it my body that is fatigued?”
Select intelligently. The narrative of your life is written by your energy.
