Energy Is The New Currency

Last week I shared an article I wrote for Home Care Evolution (See page 6) about how Energy is the New Currency and just like any great financial advisor would tell you, take your savings off the top first, and work to allocate and diversify the rest.? The same goes for energy.? Pay yourself first and protect that reserve at all costs.? It’s a precious resource.

I used to constantly think, and likely teach, that being in service to others was how it “should” be.? And while everything I do IS in service to others, what’s changed is that I serve myself first.? Subtle but powerful adjustment that has paid significant dividends.

In the article, (feel free to read it!) I share that ENERGY is the driving force behind every thought, every action, every pivotal decision. But I’m curious just how many of us truly consider whether or not we are actually OPTIMIZING our energy to allow us to do the things we really want to do? While the article was written for business owners, it’s principles are applicable to anyone.? Have you considered how you fuel your body to allow it’s energy to move so that we can accomplish the things we want to do?? Do we think we are immune from burnout?? Has someone told you, you are?? You aren’t.? Thinking you are might be a strong indicator that a shift in your approach is necessary in order to sustain your current investment strategy.

The first step toward shifting toward a value based approach to energy is to have a sound investment strategy in place.? How can you align your energy to the most impactful connections so it does the most for you? Where are your greatest investments of energy today?? What is important to you yet seems to routinely fall short of quality time?? How PRESENT do you feel you are in the areas that are most important to you?

For years, maybe decades, I personally failed at a proper energy investment strategy.? In fact it wasn’t until I discovered self love that I realized I had a LOT of one-way relationships which I suppose was good for them but clearly wasn’t working for me.? Almost all of them.? It took some work to realize that I deserved better support and to be loved without reciprocation.? And just so you know, the same goes for you.? Sometimes these investments need to be reclassified, that’s ok.? At the end of the day if you don’t feel your energy is steeped in a purpose that serves you, then you’ve got some changes to make.? I’m here to support you in navigating this journey.? Self love is your birthright and if you’ve never had it, I cannot WAIT to see and hear what shifts take place for you.? To me, self love is like waking up every day on the beach in the warm sunshine.? It’s a place where I feel loved (by myself), protected (by myself) and fully supported (by myself) to approach the day.? Anything anyone else gives me is icing on the cake. YOU make you whole.?
