How to Manage Your Energy (Not Just Your Time)
Self-care is not about adding something to your to-do list, it’s about cultivating a new way of being that is kinder and gentler with yourself.” ~ Renee Trudeau
I’ve always had a lot of energy and capacity. That has served me well AND been a life-long challenge. Too often I expend all my energy and then find myself running on fumes, exhausted and over-extended. And then, I get sick. This week I’m getting curious and asking how I can do things differently.
Watch (3-minute video): How to Manage Your Energy (Not Just Your Time).
Every week I ask a Live Inside Out question that helps me slow down and live more intentionally. This week I’m exploring how I manage my energy and how I can be kinder to myself. Resonate with this theme and want more? Read: 5 Reasons to Take a Retreat & Tips for Managing Your Energy. I’d love to hear what helps you manage your energy in a way that feels sustainable and nourishing. Drop me a line!
