THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY ON - ENERGY

"Success...My nomination for the single most important ingredient is energy well directed." - Louis Lundborg

"When your star is rising, And when it appears on high, Even when your star is falling Let it shine bright." - Rick Beneteau

"Your mental energy is limited by your physical energy. How do you develop more energy of all kinds? You start by putting your body in top physical condition. Unless you do that, all your other activities won't help much - you'll be stuck with the mental and emotional energy that you have now." - Tom Hopkins

"Deploy yourself for maximum Return on Energy. Focus on your strengths." - Brian Tracy

Energy Management: The X Factor of Peak Performance
By Gary Ryan Blair

How do you get to the next level of performance and productivity? It all begins with how you manage energy!

We are all reservoirs of energy. Everything we do -- from interacting with colleagues and making important decisions to spending time with our family requires energy. As obvious as this seems, we often fail to take into account the critical role of energy in our lives.

Absent of the correct quantity, quality, focus and force of energy, we all become compromised in any activity we undertake.

It is disturbing to see the immense amount of human and corporate potential squandered due to the misuse of energy.

Unhealthy eating habits, lack of exercise, negativity, sarcasm, unfocused goals and strategies are contributing factors to energy loss.

The way you manage your natural energy has an enormous impact on your ability to perform at consistently high levels.

Potential Requires Energy

Early in our life and career we all tend to have a lot of energy, and when you have an abundance of anything, it often seems less important to use it wisely. However, when you have many talents, capabilities, and opportunities, there's a high cost to investing your energy where the return is less than stellar.

Many people unfortunately find themselves in situations where they are only able to express a small part of their potential or apply a small amount of their creativity because they have involved themselves over the years in a great number of energy-draining relationships, situations, habits and obligations.

The opportunity to continually expand your opportunities is what distinguishes high, average and low performers. And your ability to manage your energy provides the framework for a permanent foundation on which to build goals for the rest of your life.

This includes helping to eliminate the things you no longer want in your life and to build the new, better things that you do.

High performers understand that they are free to cut loose those things in their life - relationships, situations, activities, habits and obligations - that drain their energy.

As these high-maintenance, unwanted elements are eliminated, they free up their unique talents and find themselves surrounded by an environment that supports and boosts their energy.

This reclaimed energy makes it possible for you to grow your business exponentially, dramatically improve the quality of your life and create a lifestyle that supports personal and professional success and happiness.

Clean Up That Mess

Now there's a familiar phrase from childhood we hoped we'd never hear again. But as adults we're still very good at creating messes - in fact, we refine the process, coming up with much more sophisticated and complex messes to get ourselves into, including legal messes and relationship messes.

A mess is simply an obligation without an equivalent commitment. As our opportunities grow, we encounter greater demands on our energy, concern, and attention.

As a result, we can become accustomed to being over-committed. This creates a breeding ground for messes.

The bigger a mess gets, the more energy it takes to fix. Even ignoring a mess drains energy, as it takes significantly more energy to avoid a mess than to confront and clean it up.

When you allow messes to exist you have less to give creatively, and your potential goes into hiding while you grudgingly spend your time and energy on damage control.

Every time you increase the energy you have to devote to more rewarding uses, you also increase the value of your life to you and to many others. Therefore, committing yourself to greater energy is a commitment to a greater life.

Energy Management is the X Factor

We all have far more control over our energy than we realize or leverage. The number of hours in a day is fixed, but the quantity and quality of energy available to us is not.

We can never forget that peak performance, optimal health and genuine happiness are grounded in the skillful art of energy management.

The challenge of peak performance is to manage your energy to achieve your goals.

The following key principles drive energy thus ensuring dramatic improvement in your results and overall quality of life:

$ Peak performance requires that you draw on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energy.

To perform at high levels we must understand that energy is not a one-dimensional concept. Energy has numerous forms and we must learn to embrace and synergize our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energies.

Each one is important, each one counts, and by subtracting one from the mix you significantly reduce your ability to optimize performance.

$ Peak performance requires that you balance energy expenditure with energy renewal.

Energy diminishes with both over and under use, therefore it is critical that we learn to balance the output of energy with intermittent energy renewal.

The fullest, most productive lives have the ability to fully engage in the challenge at hand, but also to disengage periodically and seek renewal.

$Peak performance requires that you push your energy levels beyond your current limits.

Energy grows in much the same way that a physical muscle grows. As it is stressed beyond its normal limits a muscle builds and grows stronger. The same is true for our energy levels.

When we consciously place ourselves in a position where we must perform, we will rise to the challenge with an intense focus and robust energy level.

Peak performance is an exotic combination of energy requirements which include the greatest quantity, highest quality, clearest focus, and maximum force of energy.

Call to Action

Energy is your contribution to, and your reward from, other people, circumstances, and projects. Look at the circumstances of your life over the next thirty days and answer this question:

$What situations, activities, habits, obligations or relationships are draining your energy?

Identify three to five energy-draining situations, habits or relationships, big or small, that you are committed to transform in the next 90 days. Then focus on creating strategies to free yourself from each of them.

Delegate if possible. Perhaps someone in your environment who also has a commitment to this task or situation can help.

Giving something away that you're loathe to deal with might just open up a great opportunity for someone else to grow.

If you do have to deal with the situation yourself, think about how much better you'll feel once it's finally resolved and what you can do with all the energy you reclaim in the future as a result.

The measure of our lives is not how long we live, but rather how we are able to manage our energy in the time we are given.

Focusing on the freedom of energy allows you to leverage your creativity and talents to create the kind of life you want in less time and with greater enjoyment.

Everything Counts!
