Last week we talked about some of the things that drain your energy. You can’t escape them. Every day you are exposed to things, situations and people that will drain your energy. You’d have to completely isolate yourself to avoid them, and that in itself would drain your energy! They key is to have plenty of things in your life that energize you. The more you have that energizes you, the less impact the things that drain you will have.

These are all things that go on whether you’re aware of them or not. Every day your energy is fluctuating. When you become aware of where your energy level is in any given moment, that not only makes you feel better, but it also gives you some sense of control – a way to return to a state of feeling good when something knocks you off track. So let’s look at a few of the things that can restore your energy:

Clean, Open, Organized Space
There’s no doubt about it, we feel better when we are in a space that is free of clutter, that is organized, that feels open, fresh, clean and clear. Particularly if it’s also well-balanced in terms of the elements (as in feng shui). Think of stepping into a beautiful garden, with colorful flowers and birds and a fountain. Or walking into a beautifully decorated room, filled with rich color, comfortable furnishings and beautiful artwork. When you create a space like this for yourself at home, then every time you come home you will feel re-energized. Just thinking about your home will give you an energy boost.

Loving What You Do
If you don’t love what you do, and have to get up every morning and do something you don’t enjoy it will suck the life force energy right out of you. Loving what you do gives you a sense of purpose and passion, you feel joyful. It’s never too much effort.

Conscious Breathing
I know it sounds obvious because it’s something we all do and we’re usually completely unaware that we’re doing it. But you’d soon know if you weren’t breathing! But paying attention to your breathing has a wonderful renewing, and calming effect. When you just focus your attention on each breath, and even make the effort to breathe a little more deeply, you are giving your body and spirit a wonderful gift. Just this simple act enables you to slow down, calm down and feel re-energized. It’s particularly useful when you’re in the middle of a stressful situation, just remembering to breathe deeply and really focus on your breathing will not only help you feel calmer in that moment, because you are calm you are much more likely to be able to think of the right thing to say or do in the situation.

Having a Coach or Mentor
This is like having a partner. Someone with whom you can share your dreams, your goals and ideas. Someone who will celebrate with you and help you overcome any challenges. Having a coach and mentor is a wonderful thing because they not only support and encourage you, they’ll help you achieve your goals and figure out the best way to do it. This is like having your own personal cheerleader and guide. They can help you see what you, and others close to you, can’t see. When you invest in someone who can help you accomplish your goals, rather than struggling to do everything yourself, you are investing in yourself. Investing in yourself (whether it’s time, energy or money) is one of the most powerful and energizing things you can do.

Music
There’s nothing quite like music to restore your energy. The right music can soothe and calm you or pump you up and energize you. If you sing along to a song you love it’s hard to stay unhappy. If you dance around the house to vibrant music, your energy will soar.

These are just a few ideas of things that help you restore, renew and re-energize. It’s a good idea to create a list of your own, so that if you find your energy is lower than it should be or than you’d like it to be, you can give yourself a quick boost.

Since I work with clients to balance their energy (both inner and outer), I talk to them a lot about what drains them and what energizes them. Just out of interest I started to create a list for myself of things that drain our energy and things that energize us.

I find things to add to both lists every day, but there are definitely more things to add to the ‘things that drain you’ list than the ‘things that energize you’. So far I have 83 things on the “draining’ list and 51 things on the ‘energizing’ list. Some of the things are obvious, and some are so subtle that we may not even be aware of them.

The reason this is so important is because we only have a certain amount of energy every day. In fact, check in with yourself now. On a scale of 1-10 where is your energy level right now? Perhaps you got out of bed feeling at level 10 but now you’re around a 6. What happened? Or perhaps you got out of bed feeling about a level 5 and now you’re down to 3 – how are you going to get through the rest of the day?

How successful you are in life relates to how much energy you put into the different aspects of your life. If you put all or most of your energy into your business or career, and very little into your relationships, then the chances are high that your relationships are suffering and need significant help – are you even aware of that? If you focus all of your energy on others and none on yourself, then you will be depleted, life will seem like a great struggle and things will very rarely ever seem to work out well for you.

Yes, your energy is that important. Why? Because everything is energy. Your thoughts are energy, your beliefs and emotions, the things you do, the things around you – everything is energy. The level of your energy right now, your vibration if you like, determines what you attract to you. You will attract things of like vibration. So if your energy level or vibration is low, what you will attract will be things of the same (low) vibration – which isn’t helpful when you want things to change and you have a big vision and goals for your life.

I hope you’re beginning to see just how important it is to be aware of your energy level. To pay attention to it, and what you give your energy to. To notice what affects you and how it affects you (draining or energizing). Here are just a few examples of some things that drain you:

Holding on to grudges
If someone did something to you in the past and you are holding onto that story in your head – even if you’re not consciously thinking about it every day, that holding on and lack of forgiveness takes up a LOT of energy.

Focusing on the wrong things
There are so many distractions around you every day, so many things and people calling for your attention, that it’s very easy to get pulled off track. You may intend to exercise or eat a nutritious lunch, for example, but then somebody else wants you to do something and you skip the exercise, or someone wants you to go to lunch with them to the local fast food place, so you skip your nutritious lunch and eat something that robs your body of energy.

Doing things that you don’t enjoy
If you’re doing anything just for the sake of doing it, or you’re doing it for someone else and feeling a little resentful, or you just don’t like what you’re doing – it will drain your energy, a lot.

Not trusting yourself
You get a feeling that you should do something a certain way but someone convinces you otherwise. You know that you don’t feel good wearing a certain thing, but someone persuades you that you look good in it, and so on. When you don’t trust yourself you drain your energy – trusting yourself is a great energizer.

These are just a few every day things that can affect you without you even being aware of them.  Pay closer attention today to what drains you and what energizes you. Perhaps you could even start your own list. Or share your thoughts with me so I can add them to mine.

On one of my coaching calls this week we addressed an issue that many people are struggling with right now, so I thought that I would write about it. Thank you Judy for being willing to talk about the challenge you’re having because it’s opened up a way to help more people with the same issue.

Although the issue relates to time management and getting things done, it actually is about more than that. To me it’s about how you’re using your energy. What’s draining you, what’s energizing you and how does that help you to accomplish the things you want to accomplish (or not)?

There are very few people these days who would say that they don’t have a lot to do. You have certain tasks that you want to complete each day, and that would certainly keep you busy enough, but add to that the many other interruptions that present themselves during the day, things like:

  • A client or customer calls and needs urgent attention
  • Interruptions from co-workers/colleagues who want to ask you something, or just want to chat
  • Meetings
  • Phone calls from family or friends
  • e-mails – do you have your e-mail software open all the time?

These are just some of the things that can stop us doing what we set out to do. And before you know it, the end of the day has arrived and you’re frantically playing catch-up.

You’ve probably tried to implement various systems and time-management methods to manage your time better, but they may have left you feeling even more overwhelmed as you try to learn and implement a new system that just feels like more work. That has certainly been true for me.

I think the answer lies in two fairly simple approaches:

Be aware of your energy patterns:
Become familiar with your energy cycles and when you feel like you are most productive. For example, if your energy is higher in the morning and that’s when you feel most productive, that may be the time that it’s best for you to do your creative work – writing, putting proposals together, working with numbers, etc. If your energy is a little lower in the afternoon, that may be the time when you sit back and make phone calls, and make time for your clients.

Recognizing your daily energy patterns is important because it helps you to really make the most of your day. You’ll find if you try this approach that you will actually accomplish so much more because you’re not fighting to do something creative that needs lots of energy during a time of the day when your energy is at its lowest.

Set boundaries on interruptions
E-mail is an interruption – particularly if you leave it on all the time and find yourself checking it frequently. It’s much better (and more productive) to schedule specific times during the day to check and respond to e-mails. Once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once in the evening before you leave, for example. I do know that this can be difficult to implement and we think that people will get upset when we don’t respond to their e-mails right away. But really people don’t get that upset – particularly if you tell them that you are implementing a new system to help you be more efficient and that system requires you to check and respond to e-mails just twice or three times each day. They will get used to it. If they need you urgently, they can pick up the phone.

Phone calls – let people know that you return calls between certain times of the day. Let them leave a message with what it is they need so you can be prepared when you get back to them. If it’s urgent, then perhaps you give them your cell phone number. But if they start to call you when it’s not urgent, you’ll have to set a boundary and tell them you can’t deal with it until the set time you have for returning calls.

Friends/Family/Colleague interruptions – you don’t want to cut yourself off completely and never have time for a chat, but you don’t want to do it if it’s making you feel stressed because you’re not getting things done. Again, you can set aside times for this and let people know when you’re available.

These are just some of the ways that you can start to take control of your time and your energy. Don’t try to implement them all at once though. Try implementing just one at a time and when you feel comfortable with that, then you can move on to the next one. So, for example, you could start with the e-mail and not move on to anything else until that’s working for you.

Re-claim your energy now. Try these techniques and they really can give you your energy back and help you feel more energized, productive and satisfied at the end of the day.

Love is one of the most talked about, sung about, written about and sought after aspects of life.  And yet very few of us experience the joy and excitement we’d like and that is possible in relationship.  Why is that?

Could it be that we never really learned how to go about loving another in a way that honors and appreciates the differences between women and men so they actually enhance the dating, relationship, intimacy and fun?  Is it that simple?

Yes.  It’s that simple.

We are sent to school to learn all sorts of things to help us succeed in life:  writing, arithmetic, science, history, physical education, etc.

For relationships, though, we rely solely on our home experience, what we witness one or both of our parents doing with others as they date and or live in their relationships and marriages.  What did you learn?  What was demonstrated to you?  Importantly, what are you living today?

Women and men are fundamentally different.  We are not broken versions of one another.  We are different.  To be fair, when we were young we displayed those differences and we even implicitly knew them.  Think back on what you played as a child.  When asked men typically list out a variety of sports (football, basketball, baseball) along with things like cops & robber or bicycle racing.  Women also mention competitive sports (softball, volleyball, basketball) along with dolls, stuffed animals and house.

Here’s what we know:  boys play competition while girls play relationship.  And therein lies one of the root differences that plays out again and again in our relationships with one another.  Think about it.  Boys always keep score, even if they are only keeping track of who can spit the farthest or hit the sign post the most times with a rock.  It matters who wins.  They want to win, even if it means beating their best friend.  And, there’s nothing personal about it.  After the game, win or lose, they are all friends. (Women, ask a trusted man about this.)

Girls keep score when they play sports too, and they want to win. However, they also care about whom they are playing with and how those dynamics are going.  They want to win and have a great experience with their teammates.  And it is personal. Their games of house or dolls or stuffed animals (or even sports) invariably are all about how the different characters involved relate to one another.They play relationships with so many nuances that it boggles the male mind.

Believe it or not, this is all very good news for women and men seeking a relationship or in relationship. These differences and many more, can actually enhance your experience of each other and your appreciation of one another—when understood.  Most often, though, they tend to confuse us, at best, and frustrate each person, at worst.

We can help.  There are only a few things to know and live and we cover them all in our 4-week teleseminar Getting the Love You Want & Deserve.  You’ll learn about love language differences, the best of men and how to elicit it, the complexity of women and how to navigate it plus how to have your physical environment support the relationship you are seeking or already have.  We are about going forward with energy & delight, not about what’s gone wrong.  Join us for one or all the sessions, beginning Thursday, July 15 via phone and/or web.  Detailed course descriptors at: Getting the Love You Want and Deserve

I’ve been married for 17 years now and I admit, as I’m sure my husband would too, that it hasn’t all been plain sailing. You can’t live with another person all that time and not have times when you’re upset or frustrated with each other. When there are misunderstandings and conflicts. It’s going to happen. The question is, what do you do when those things happen? How do you handle it?

It’s easy to handle the good times. When you’re feeling great, your partner is feeling great, when you’re doing fun things and when you’re able to communicate with each other easily and effectively. But what do you do when that’s not the case? When one of you is not feeling good, or is under stress at work, or the kids are driving you crazy, or you have financial stresses. That’s when you have an opportunity to grow together – and it’s how you make it through those times and how you work through them together that counts.

There’s no getting around it, we communicate differently. I think the cartoon above says it all. Ladies, be honest, how many times has your husband asked you where something is and you just know that he’s expecting you to drop everything you’re doing and help him find what he wants? And how many times has that driven you crazy? The cartoon above is funny because it’s how we feel. Now when my husband does that, I say to him “what I’m hearing is that you want me to drop everything and run to find what you’re looking for,” and now we’re able to laugh about it.

But what if we took all of those instances as opportunities to learn how to communicate and how to grow? When we do that, we have more respect for each other. We each learn what our partner needs and how we can provide it. When they feel safe and secure and loved, they have no need to look elsewhere to find that. We may think that’s what we’re already giving them, but are we really giving them what they want?

At an event recently I was discussing this difference in communication and getting what we want in a relationship with a man who had just recently had a major insight into what his wife really wants. Even though they had been married for many years, he’d only just ‘got it.’ He could never understand why she never seemed to appreciate his gifts. He would bring home flowers or buy her jewelry and other gifts as a way of showing his affection. That’s what women want isn’t it? He was showing his love for her by buying her things. But she didn’t really need him to buy anything to show his love. What she really wanted was him to do things for her. Practical things – like doing the laundry or loading the dishwasher.

He was absolutely dumbfounded that this was what she really wanted. He’d spent years trying to please her with gifts. The truth is that each of us has our own needs. One person might truly appreciate gifts and the thought that went into buying them. Another might prefer words of affirmation, or quiet time spent together. Someone else might just be in heaven if you help around the house once in a while. When you understand what you need and what your partner needs, and are able to give that to each other, that’s when the relationship can truly flourish. That’s when you really get the love you deserve and can give your partner the love that they deserve.

You have to understand something about yourself first to be able to do this, and then be willing to truly understand your partner. And your environment can play a big part in this too. Creating an environment that honors and supports both partners is crucial. Do each of you have a space you can call your own, for example? And I don’t just mean that your husband is relegated to the garage while you’re confined to the kitchen. Does your bedroom represent your relationship? Is it a place where you both feel relaxed and rejuvenated? Does it feel romantic to you?

There are many ways that we can work to improve our relationships and that’s something we need to work on every day. Being willing is the first step.

Join me and Relationship and Gender expert, Carolyn Casey for a very insightful 4-week tele-seminar series, where you’ll be given all the tools you need to help you and your partner each get the love you want and deserve. You’ll find more details here:

Most of us have goals. Hopefully yours are written down, and perhaps you even have a vision board related to your goals – something that can really help you achieve them more easily. But have you made space for your new ambitions, relationships and experiences to come into your life?

Whenever you want to bring in something new, you must be ready to let go of something to make room for it. When you think about everything as energy, then it makes sense that in order to create something new in your life, you have to let go of old energy.

In Feng Shui we recognize this as we talk about clearing clutter or removing items that no longer have current value for you. The purpose in doing this is to remove old, negative energy that is keeping you stuck or tied to the past. This helps to make room for what you do want to come into your life.

But this doesn’t just apply to your home, or to your office environment. The same concept also applies to your personal environment – your thoughts, beliefs, actions, life situations, relationships. To be able to open up to new energies, you have to be able to let go of the old. To be able to manifest what you want, you need to let go of what no longer serves you. This is true in every area of life.

For example, if you want to lose weight, you will have to let go of something in order to have the new reality of a fit, healthy body:

  • You may have to let go of hurts from the past that have caused you to gain weight now
  • You may have to let go of beliefs that do not serve you – such as I’m not good enough or feeling that you need to be ‘invisible.’
  • You may need to let go of old habits, such as eating unhealthy foods and not exercising.
  • You may need to let go of people who are not supportive – who encourage you to eat what is not good for you and tell you that eating healthily and exercising are a waste of time.
  • You may need to let go of feelings of guilt or shame and non-acceptance so that you can learn to accept yourself and love yourself enough to do what you need to do to have the body that you want.

If you want to attract a loving relationship:

  • You may have to let go of hurts and disappointments from past relationships
  • You may have to let go of limiting beliefs, such as I don’t deserve to be loved
  • You may have to let go of people in your life who tell you that you can’t have what you want, or who are not supportive.

There is a saying, and I’m not sure where it comes from, but it’s very appropriate here: “To reach for something greater, you must first let go of what’s in your hand.” I think that sums it up quite nicely.

If your life is already full, you will have trouble attracting new experiences and opportunities. You’ll have to let go of something to make room for what you want.

You can certainly use your environment to help you with this. When you let go of physical things in your home or work space, you are releasing energy that you don’t need. This, in turn, will help your personal energy and will help you to let go of people, situations, beliefs, etc., that no longer serve you.

Even more interestingly, when you actively look for what is no longer serving you in your life with the intention of letting it go – new, unexpected and wonderful opportunities just start showing up.

I’m sure you’ve noticed that life does not always run smoothly. Things don’t always go the way you want them to. One fact of life is that there will be times of sadness, grief, pain or anger. What matters most is how you deal with these situations and emotions when they arise. Since it’s unrealistic to think that you can avoid them, it’s helpful to learn some techniques that can help you get through them.

It is true that people often think they are not supposed to feel the so-called ‘negative’ emotions. So they stifle them, avoid them or just feel that they should think only ‘happy’ thoughts. But none of these techniques work – they simply push the feelings away where they continue to affect you, building up over time and draining your energy until the result is depression or health problems or some more serious life situation.

When something happens to you that causes you to feel angry, sad, unhappy, frustrated, etc., there are several things you can do that will help:

Acceptance – first of all it is most important to accept how you feel. Rather than trying to stifle or eliminate the feeling, as uncomfortable as it may be, you must acknowledge it and acknowledge what has created this in you. When you accept it and allow yourself to feel it fully, it loses its strength. The first step to letting these feelings go is to allow yourself to feel them, not to try to deny them or not feel them.

Journaling – writing about what you’re feeling, about the situation and the circumstances around it can really help you to move past it and to understand it on a deeper level. This is a wonderful way of tapping into your sub-conscious, of moving beyond the immediate situation and how you feel about it and uncovering what’s behind it.

Look for the lesson – every situation, particularly those that are uncomfortable, offer opportunities for growth. When you actively look for the learning experience, rather than simply focusing on the negativity of the situation, not only can it help you to move beyond it faster, it helps you to move from feeling like a victim of the situation, making you feel more empowered.

Ask for help – don’t try to get through it by yourself. Talking to others helps to release the burden of how you feel. If you have the opportunity to talk to someone who has been through a similar situation you can learn from their experiences. It can also be most helpful to consult Healers, coaches, counselors or therapists – anyone who has the skill and knowledge to help you on a professional level. There is no weakness or shame in asking for help. There is strength in allowing others to help us.

Take care of yourself – it is important to be gentle with yourself at times like this. Don’t expect too much. Do things that make you feel good, get a healing massage, read an uplifting book, give yourself time to reflect, be still and recover, rather than simply trying to push through or work harder so you don’t have to think about it.

Change the energy in your home – since you and your home are so closely connected, any changes you make to the energy in your home have a direct and immediate impact on your own energy. Here are a few examples:

  • Purge – pick an area in your home and remove items from it that you no longer need, use, want or love. Removing items that no longer have current value helps to free up your energy, as well as making the space for new and positive people and experiences to come into your life.
  • Organize – nothing makes you feel better than de-cluttering and organizing. It’s one of the fastest ways to uplift your energy and will benefit you much more than simply making the space look nice.
  • Move things around – move some furniture, change out accessories or pictures. Sometimes just moving the energy around in your home can be just what you need to give your energy and your life a much needed boost.
  • Introduce color – this can also have an immediate impact on how you feel. Choose vibrant, rich colors, such as red, to energize you or calm, soothing colors, such as blue or green to bring calm energy. Choose colors that you love and that make you feel really good.
  • Treat yourself and your home – buy a special item that you love for your home. It could be a piece of furniture or a painting, or it could be as simple as new dinnerware or a special cup for you to have your daily cup of tea or coffee. Honoring yourself in this way with something that you love can give you and your home a much-needed boost and help you realize that you deserve the best.

These are some simple ways to help you through those times in life that don’t feel so good. Since they are a fact of life and you know you will go through them from time to time, it’s best to be prepared and know that you have the tools available to help you.

Have you ever felt stuck or overwhelmed in your financial situation? Or would you just like to make it easier to reach your financial goals?

Unfortunately, there is no one solution that’s going to make everything change for you or for anyone. It all depends on where you are in your life, what your past history with money has been, what your thoughts, beliefs and feelings are around money.

I know from working with thousands of clients that everyone’s situation is different – which is why no one solution works for everybody. The only way to know if your thoughts, beliefs and past programming are holding you back and that’s to look at your existing financial situation. If you’re not happy with it, if you’re not where you want to be, then there’s something stopping you.

So many people are struggling with this, which is why I created the 30-Day Wealth Attraction Challenge. It’s a program that will help you to identify and overcome the unseen issues that have been holding you back around money. And although this program is primarily design to focus on wealth, you’ll find that as you work through it other parts of your life improve as well.

But don’t just take my word for it, see what other participants have to say about this unique and very affordable program. You’ll find more information here.

Giving you the “energetic edge” in your life and business

You set goals. You work hard. You take care of everybody. There’s always work to do, things that need to be done, people who need you. There’s very little time (if any) in the day when you’re not doing something. Does this sound familiar?

Everyone’s life seems to be so busy and full these days, that it’s difficult to remember to take time for relaxation, for fun, for enjoyment – for you. Bringing more joy and fun into your life and doing things that are good for you doesn’t have to be difficult, and it doesn’t have to be time-consuming either. Here are some very simple ways to change things up a little:

Treat yourself to wonderful food (I don’t mean chocolate). Go out for a really special meal, or take the time to find a fabulous recipe (these are easy to find on-line) and enjoy the process of shopping and preparing the meal. Use a tablecloth and candles and soft music – make it a special occasion.

Allow yourself some time to listen to your favorite music – just listen to it. Don’t do anything else while you’re listening. Or go to a concert with friends. Let yourself really feel the music, let it uplift you.

Arrange a get-together with your closest friends. Don’t make it something where you have to do a lot, just enjoy their company. Relax with them.

Do something fun. What is fun to you? When was the last time you did it? Make it something silly and enjoyable and time-wasting. Allow yourself to be silly for a while. Whether it’s a visit to the water park or playing lawn tennis in the back yard or spending time with a coloring book and crayons, give yourself permission to have fun.

Bring some color into your life by painting a wall or two, or hanging a colorful poster or picture or accessories.

Bring fresh cut flowers or vibrant, colorful plants into your home – bringing nature indoors has a very uplifting impact on your energy.

Treat yourself to a makeover. Get a new hairstyle, get your make-up done, or treat yourself to some new clothes or a day at the spa.

Buy yourself something special. It doesn’t have to be something expensive, it could be a beautiful cup to have your daily tea or coffee in, or a book that you’ve been wanting to read, or a new pair of shoes.

With so much going on in our lives these days, it’s so easy to lose sight of ourselves and to lose the joy in life. If you take time to do something special for yourself – particularly if you do this every day – you will start to reclaim the joy in life, the joy in just being you. Take this list and add to it. Keep it near you and every day pick one thing you can do for that day. When you honor yourself in this way, you acknowledge that you deserve to enjoy your life, that you deserve the best, that you can open yourself up to live your best life. The only question then becomes, how much good are you willing to receive in your life?
