It’s no surprise that it takes lots of energy to run your life and wear multiple hats. To have the energy to easily accomplish all that needs to be done, and feel good doing it all, is a goal that many of us strive for daily.
There are 3 kinds of energy – physical, mental, and emotional. The way you manage these areas will impact your ability to live each day with vitality. Take this brief Energy Assessment and see where you could make a difference in your level of energy right now. Any “no” answers are likely contributing to your energy deficit. Once you realize where you are losing energy, you can begin to take it back.
PHYSICAL
1. Is your home clean?
2. Does everything in your home / office have a home or a place where it belongs?
3. Do your clothes all fit you and make you feel great?
4. Do you have a place in your home where you can go to relax and unwind?
5. Do you drink at least 8 – 10 glasses of water every day?
6. Do you get some form of exercise at least 5 days a week?
7. Do you visit your doctors and dentist regularly?
8. Is your environment personalized and warm feeling?
MENTAL
1. Do you schedule more tasks in a day than you can reasonably accomplish?
2. Are you consistently late?
3. Do you put important tasks or projects off?
4. Do you spend time with people you don’t really like?
5. Have the same tasks or projects been on your to-do list for more than 2 months?
6. Do you commit to projects out of a sense of obligation?
EMOTIONAL
1. Do you tell the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable to do so?
2. Do you feel loved and accepted by those closest to you?
3. Have you let go of any past anger or regret?
4. Are you able to ask for what you really want?
5. Are you current personal and business relationships adding value to your life?
6. Do you surround yourself with people that uplift you and help you grow as a person?
If you have any “no” answers to the above questions, it’s a little eye opening isn’t it? To be able to pinpoint some areas that are actively draining your energy is key. Now you can actively begin to make changes that support your life.
You require energy to support every thought, word, action and interaction in your life, you have a limited amount of it available to you each day. Your commitment to proactively manage these factors will support you in creating the life you desire. Taking care of yourself, gives you energy to take care of everything and everyone else with ease. You can’t overflow to others, until you fill yourself up first.
Go reclaim you energy today!

You’re working a full time job. You are also taking care of your kids, home, husband, all of which are full time jobs themselves. And on top of all of that, you are building a business “on the side’ with the hopes of one day being able to quite your job, and enjoy the financial and time freedom that you so deserve!
So how do you move from the “one day” or “on the side” mentality to “I successfully run my own business, on my time? Let’s start with a few questions…
1. How will you act differently, feel differently, behave differently when you are making the income you want from your “on the side business”?
2. Will you feel joy when you wake in the morning? Instead of dreading the work day ahead?
3. Will you give away more money and time to help other people?
4. Why do you REALLY want to change your life, and what are you willing to change to get there?
By pinpointing exactly how you will think, feel, and act when “one day” comes, you can start to imagine that day right now. By thinking about the habits and feelings of your future self, you can start to behave like that person now! Be grateful for what you have right now, and for the changes that are coming. Choose to be happy NOW, and more happiness will come.
Start with the end in mind, write down a clear description of your life as you want it. How much money do you earn (monthly and yearly)? How much time do you spend working in your business? How is your ideal day structured? Who do you have (either family or hired help) to help you run your home and businesss?
Work backwords to clearly map your yearly, monthly, weekly, daily goals and schedule to make it happen. You can never reach a goal, if you don’t really know what it looks like. To move past the “one day” mentality, you must act “as if” right now. Be clear on why you want these changes, and know what you are willing to change to make it reality.
