Energy Expenditure- Is it worth it?

Have you ever asked yourself how many days it will take you to recover from a social outing?

I sure have.

It was an absolute necessity for me the past few years.

Simple things like going to visit my friend and walking to the stables to pet her horses would take me 3 days to recover physically.

To be fair, I was still healing from a very painful accident. But, it caused me to be way more selective with my time when I realized what it would cost me to do certain things.

Even if you aren’t in pain or exhausted it’s still important to notice where you’re expending your energy.

Yes, you’re an amazing multi dimensional being. But, your body can only be in one place at a time…

I think LOL!

Are you feeling guilty for lacking the capacity to do things?

Sure you may want to do certain things but don’t have the time or energy.

So what, do you just force yourself to go?

Then suffer in silence if you missed sleep, or now have extra work to catch up on?

No!

That’s an old way of operating.

Now you’re gonna prioritize yourself and feel better because of it.

Life is full of endless distractions, excitement and potential for last minute get-togethers.

But how many of your own heartfelt hopes and dreams are you missing out on by trying to be all things to all people?

One energy drain for me that I allowed to go on for years was last minute things.

Whether it was a lunch or dinner invite, or a session. 

It felt ok and even exciting for a while.

Then I took a step back and saw where it was very dishonoring of my time, especially if I had other things I was planning to do for myself.

It was a sneaky habit that I couldn’t see at first. I’d drop whatever I was doing to go have fun or help someone in need.

The turning point to stop that habit happened when I realized I was becoming resentful.

So much time and energy given to others that I wasn’t giving to myself.

It went against everything I teach people and how I choose to live my life.

Hell, I even created what I call the 4 non negotiables many years ago!

All based around doing at least 1 thing you love first thing in the morning as a testament that you are #1 in your own life always! 

It takes boldness and courage to call yourself out on your own shit.

But it's totally worth it and it is one main key to reversing and avoiding burnout!
