Energy at Work

All we are is energy. Energy is the essence of our existence. We are all energetic beings, and understanding the dynamics of energy is the key to unlocking our true potential. Our energy is transferable and absorbable. Your thoughts begin it, your emotions amplify it, your actions increase or decrease it. Energy cannot be seen, but the results of using energy can. Energy is required for growth, change and movement. This is incredibly important in a workplace environment!

Leaders and business owners need to be aware of the energies at play in their work place's. They need to take responsibly for their energy and encourage everyone in their worlds to do the same. We need to know what energises the people we work with, we need to know what energises us. Having some awareness about where we get our energy from and what depletes it is an important part of bringing your self to work. We all need to become aware of the our energy. The many areas that we get and give energy. The physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energies that make up all of us.

Your energy is a decision. You get to decide. You can decide to be happy. Decide to be tired. Decide to be negative. Decide to be grumpy!

We need to address our energetic plumbing! The blockages, the drains and the leaks. Our life-force is all we have. I hear people constantly complaining about how they don’t have enough energy, that they wish they had more energy but I don’t see many people proactively seeking out this incredibly important essence. Taking the time to understand yourself and your people is a huge part of getting the best out of a group of people who are working towards a common goal.

I am obsessed with helping people to become aware of their energy. Being intentional. Living and working with awareness and agency. Paying attention to what lifts and lowers them. Taking action so that they can use their personal power to their advantage. 

We live in a weird world! Our energy is scattered and we are being pulled in so many directions. To be good at anything we need to come back to ourselves. To what powers us. To what works for us. In the race to have and do and be everything we have lost ourselves. We have lost connection with where we get our energy. We need to understand our energy contributors and contaminators. Who and what energises and drains you?

Energy comes at many levels. Physically from food, hydration and sleep that nourish our bodies. Emotional energy arises from doing things that give us joy: engaging with people and projects who challenge and support us. We increase our mental energy by becoming aware of the beliefs that way us down and shifting our heads into a more useful space. Being able to connect to our spiritual energy is a game changer in that we feel safer, more trusting and build faith in ourselves.

Take a look around your office. Who feels energised? Who feels deflated?
