Trying to figure out what’s next for you? Feeling burnt out from the last career, but unsure of a new direction? Watch your energy level.
- Do what gives you energy and avoid activities that sap your energy.
- Be with people who give you energy and avoid people who sap your energy.
- Be in environments that give you energy and avoid environments that sap your energy.
- Read, watch and listen to things that give you energy and avoid those that sap your energy.
You get the idea. But many of us go on auto-pilot, just trying to make it through the day, especially if you don’t like what you do.
So turn on your inner observer and notice when you get a burst of energy – and record want caused it. Also note what is particularly energy-sapping – and record it.
Give yourself a couple of months to record the spikes and dips in energy, then go back and look for patterns.
If you’re not getting any (or enough) bursts of energy, it’s time to move outside your environment and look for new things to do, new contacts, new topics to read and explore.
The energy you exude affects the impression you create. It is what attracts people and opportunities to you. Positive energy attracts. Negative energy repels.
Be curious. Find and follow where you’re in “flow” and bask in the positive energy that you create.
