Most of us assume that we can increase our energy levels by getting the proper amount of rest, eating healthy foods, and exercising regularly. Brian Tracy, motivational speaker and author, would argue that’s only partially correct. While that may help increase our physical energy, we also need to attend to our mental and emotional energy levels, which can be easily depleted.
Mental Energy
Tracy claims that mental energy is what powers your ability to be creative, solve problems and make decisions. You draw from this energy as your manage your clients’ accounts, accruing those all-important billable hours. The more efficient your use of this energy, the more productive, and ultimately, the more profitable you will be.
Emotional Energy
This is where you will find your enthusiasm and passion for what your do. Not only does this energy power your business, but it’s also what makes your personal life enjoyable as well. You can power-up your emotional energy by ensuring that you spend quality time with those you care about, doing the things your love.
The Connection
Physical energy, mental energy and emotional energy all power your business. And a reduction in any of these energy levels affects the others. It’s important that you recognize this connection and conserve energy when possible. We can quickly burn through emotional energy by expressing negative emotions. Of those who do this, Tracy explains, “Negative emotions are like a fire that burns up their energy so quickly they have very little left with which to think positively and constructively. In fact, one five-minute uncontrolled outburst of anger can burn up as much energy as an average person would use in eight hours of work.”
He offers three tips in ensuring that you have a healthy supply of these interconnected energy types:
- It’s an old standby because it’s true: the better you attend to your physical needs, the more energy you’ll enjoy. While it may sound redundant, getting the proper amount of rest, eating healthy foods, and exercising regularly will power your throughout the day and enable you to feel equal to the challenge of your daily To-Do lists.
- Recognize how you’re depleting your energy levels and which type of energy-physical, mental, emotional-you rely on most. Consider ways you can better balance your energy levels and recharge and conserve when possible.
- Plug up those energy leaks by better managing your stress. You will also build your energy levels when you practice positive thinking and focus on living a more relaxed and optimistic life.
When you make a conscious effort to increase your energy, you’ll find that your business responds in kind. Take measures today to ensure that you recharge your battery and your business.
