Energy Flows - drain or gain

Most of the time, we do not know why we suddenly feel very tired and drained or we suddenly feel very energised and happy.

What kinds of things do people work on as they maximize the gain and minimize the drain?

Potential energy gains include:

• Finding work you love.
• Creating relationships that enrich and support you.
• Developing healthy habits.
• Exploring a fulfilling spiritual life.
Making a personally meaningful difference.

Potential energy drains include:

• Friction at work.
• Conflict or confusion in your relationships.
• Problems you don't know how to solve.
• Unhealthy habits.
• Procrastination.
• Stress.

This is by no means all-inclusive. A good way to start getting a picture of where the potential gains and drains are in your life is to look at the following list and for each topic, ask yourself, "What energizes me about this area of my life? What is draining my energy in this area?"

• Work
• Relationships
• Health & Wellness
• Hobbies & Activities
• Spiritual
• Meaning & Making a Difference
• Home Environment
• Financial
• Attitude & Beliefs
