Energy

Energy has come up a lot recently in coaching conversations, possibly as a result of cold weather and lockdown for some of my clients.

Maintaining balance in energy levels, focusing on self-care and restorative activites, brainstorming on how to best use high and low energy to our advantage…

This was the inspiration for this week.

* * * * *

Energy, whether positive or negative, high or low, is a force that fuels, motivates and puts us in motion. It powers us.

Aspiring to balance our energy levels requires to understand where our energy comes from, how protect it and replenish it.

Then we can channel it so that it best serves us.
