Over 150,000 people worldwide recently took a personal energy audit (the energyproject.com). The results: 74% are in a personal energy crisis.
Says the Energy Project – “People are working more hours, spending more time outside work tethered to a digital device, and taking less time to reflect, renew and prioritize. As a result, they are increasingly exhausted, overwhelmed, and disengaged. It’s not a sustainable way of working for individuals or for organizations.”
Physical energy is from diet, sleep and exercise. Many of us don’t eat well, and don’t get enough sleep and exercise, and by 5:00pm, we’re wiped out.
Spiritual energy is about having a meaning for why you do what you do. Many of us do things for the wrong reasons.
Emotional energy is about how you feel. Many of us developed beliefs in haste, and misuse our memory, thoughts and imaginations.
When we say we want to be healthy, what we really mean is we want energy – enough to do and experience all the things we want to.
Is it time to look at what and why we are drained and make some changes?
So true, Larry – thank you. I feel energized.
WOW – a lot of “food for thought” in your post.
Thanks for that.
