Extra Energy Tip

Develop (personal) energy efficiency – there’s a lot of talk about energy efficiency these days. We make sure that our appliances are energy efficient and we do our best to save energy when we can. But what about your personal energy? How efficient are you with that?

Here are some things to think about:

• How much energy to you put into doing things that you don’t enjoy?
  
• Do you have a habit of doing things the hard way, rather than taking the time to see if there’s a simpler way?
  
• Do you feel you have to do everything yourself?
• When you have a lot to do, do you keep going no matter what or do you allow yourself to take time out to rest and renew or play?
• Do you allow others to help you?
• Do you allow your mind to switch off and completely relax regularly?
• Do you focus more on what is working and what feels good or on what isn’t working and what doesn’t feel good?
  

When you don’t make the best use of your energy then you will feel exhausted, frustrated, overwhelmed and unhappy. Ask yourself how you can be more efficient with your energy, starting today.
