What comes to mind when you think of having Energy in your life?
In High Performance studies we focus on three primary facets of Energy — mental, emotional, and physical. Our mental alertness and positive emotions (mind) and physical (body) must equally be nurtured.
Energy, it turns out, is one of the most important things to master in becoming a High Performer in whatever area of your life. It’s the foundation upon which everything else is built. As such, we want to amplify positive emotions, sustain mental clarity, and increase physical vitality.
When life gets busy, one of the first things that goes out the window is the most critical thing we need to meet the demand — managing our energy. We tend to compromise getting sufficient sleep, good diet, exercise, and rest to name a few.
The good news is it’s under your control to live a fully charged life. This will result in you feeling good about yourself, your relationships, and your work — the jumping off point to chasing your dreams.
Here is a High Performance framework that I guide my Coaching clients through that’s sure to help you. Complete the sentences to see how you are managing your mind and body then identify and set goals for the areas that can benefit from improvement.

The daily and weekly habits and practices I need to start so that I can feel more energized by this area of my life include…
Body:

The daily and weekly habits and practices I need to start so that I can feel more energized by this area of my life include…
It’s especially easy to fall under the hypnotic power of current events but more so now than ever is it important we maintain and manage our energy.
