Are You on the Verge of Energy Bankruptcy from Being Stressed?

The most common concern I hear by the individuals I work with is this...."I’ve been feeling stressed out, overworked, overwhelmed and I have absolutely no energy left by the end of the day. I can’t go to sleep at night and if do get to sleep, my eyes pop open at 3 am, my brain starts racing 100 miles an hour, and I can’t go back to sleep. Do you think I have something serious wrong with me?"

Sound like anybody you know or love?

It is not surprising when one considers that most of us run at "break-neck" speed throughout the day trying to keep up with the demands of life. Most everyone I work with attempts to balance the needs of their children, aging parents, a spouse or significant other, civic responsibilities, and friends almost daily. Many tell me that breakfast and lunch consist of a quick bite of something from a fast-food restaurant eaten in the car on the way to the next meeting/event/responsibility.

 Am I describing your life now....?

Sounds like your brain is stuck in ‘fight/flight” mode and you may be on the verge of "Energy Bankruptcy" which, left unresolved, will have long term devastating effects on your mind, body, and spirit.

Most individuals are shocked when I measure their energy fields (yes, it is possible to measure one's energy fields) and show them that the energy that surrounds them is gray black. That measurement is indicative of over stimulation and stress of their biological systems, organs, or the circulatory systems. An alarming indicator, which if left uncorrected, may result in physical damage or illness.

Ever felt like you had a black cloud hanging over your head? You probably do...

Enough said. Now you know I'm describing you. The next question most clients ask is "How do I fix it?" "And oh, by the way, can I fix it in the next 15 minutes because my next commitment is scheduled 30 minutes from now."

The first strategy I recommend you consider doing is to begin paying close attention to how/where you are focusing your physical, mental, and emotional energy. My old boss Tony Robbins once told me, ”Whatever you focus on, you feel and whatever you feel, you give meaning to.” So, the more you focus on what you don’t want (stress, anxiety, and overwhelm) the more stress you’re going to have and that's what you don’t want.

(I’ll tell you more about what/why that happens next time we meet. (Hint: your head and heart have disconnected and are out of alignment when your survival is stuck in the on position.) 

For now, be really honest with yourself, and take the brief Energy Management Quiz below. It will give you your first clue as to the cause of the "power failure" you may be experiencing. 

But before you start....

Imagine for a moment, that you have 100 circuits of energy and 100 units of energy in each of the circuits to finance the activities you have scheduled every day. If you know where your energy circuits are invested and how many units of energy you're investing in each of your activities you may be able to determine why you are experiencing  "power outages" by the end of the day.

THE 5-MINUTE ENERGY INVESTMENT QUIZ

Read each question below and determine what percentage of your energy is invested in each of categories # 1-5.

# 1.    How many of your energy circuits are plugged-into past events and financing activities you cannot change?

# 2.    How many of your energy circuits are financing situations or activities that are out of your control? (Be honest with yourself. you really have very little control over anything)

# 3.    How many of your energy circuits are plugged into present opportunities and are financing activities that will generate positive life changing results?

# 4.    How many of your energy circuits are plugged into future events and are financing activities that may never happen? (The keys words here are anxiety and worry...)

# 5.    How many of your energy circuits are plugged into activities that "recharge" you and provide more energy and prevent "Energy Bankruptcy."

If you're investing less than 100% of your energy in any energy category other than 3 or 5 you have energy leaks and you may be heading toward a full-blown “power outage” if you don’t make some changes.   

It's possible to be the version of who you want to be and accomplish all you want to accomplish, however, you have to make sure your head and heart remain in alignment and invest your energy and energy circuits wisely.

Helpful Hint 101...Spend 5 minutes at the beginning each day, for the next 30 days, and honestly evaluate how you manage your energy circuits. I recommend that you keep a daily journal and record the information. You may be surprised by what you find.  Then....
