Want more energy?

I’ll be honest..

There are many days

Where I just feel tired.

Maybe I snoozed my alarm..

Then didn’t get my own workout in

Then the kids are up early.

Then I’m beating myself for not doing the workout (which is exhausting)..

Then maybe I flick through my phone

And see some horrifically gripping news story which

Draws me in

Which takes more of my energy…

Now I have the debate of putting myself first and doing a workout or taking the kids to the park…

You get the picture.

And I am sharing this because

Well,

I am not perfect (if you didn’t know already)

Now, I don’t always ‘fight it’..

But – most of the time – I will do what I need to do rather than what I want to do..

It has come through practice.

Simply because I know that when you act based on how I want to feel, you will feel better.

And feeling unproductive is something I don’t ever feel comfortable doing.

It is just not me. (maybe that is a story I am telling myself, ay?)

Anyway,

If this resonates with you in any way

I have got a pretty powerful, yet simple tool

Which might just help you make a better choice today

Even if it is ONE better choice today.

After all, it is the seemingly small, insignificant things you do each day which add up to transformational results.

So, take a look at the Control Circle (Image) and score yourself today with how many times you are spending energy in each part of the circle.

You can quickly see where you spend your energy.

Is it on things you cannot control?

Things you can influence?

Or things you can control?

What happens to your mood with each of these?

And feel free to share this with anyone who might find it helpful today
