The law of thermodynamics states that energy is a property of objects which can be transferred to other objects or converted into different forms, but cannot be created nor destroyed.
So does this mean that if you invest all or much of your energy in others that your own energy levels will be depleted? Yes!
And can someone else zap your energy levels by their behaviour? For example if they are being negative? Do your attempts to counteract this negativity drain your own levels of energy leaving you feeling exhausted? Yes!
And what about when something happens that you are not prepared for, whether it is in your personal life, family, a relationship or at work. Do your attempts to sort this out leave you feeling like you are running on zero?
And does this lead you to under-perform in your business?
Sound familiar?
Well, the good news is that you can do something about it! And here's how!
The most important things is to acknowledge that it is happening.
There are several ways to deal with this and get you out of this situation as quickly as possible.
Coaching is about moving forward, not dwelling on the past, although reflecting on what has happened as a means to move forward can be extremely helpful.
Once you acknowledge that this is happening to you what can you do?
The easiest way is to make time for you.
What does that mean?
Well, it means doing something nice, just for you. Not for your family, not for your boss or your business, not for your neighbour - just for you.
It doesn't have to be expensive and it doesn't have to take much or any time. You might wear a special dress that makes you feel amazing. You might buy a bar of chocolate that you normally forbid yourself to eat. Whatever it is, do it for you.
If you don't believe me then try it and then see how you feel.
When life throws an unexpected challenge, acknowledge it and remember to take extra care of you.
