What is Stealing Your Energy?       
 
If my energy is low and less than vibrant I might ask myself, what is stealing my energy?

A project I have been procrastinating about and unwilling to complete? A conversation I had that didn’t go well? A judgment I have about a situation I am not willing to let go? A drawer, closet, room or even a garage or basement where things have collected that I have forgotten I owned?  Or maybe it’s a tiny little thing I said I would do for myself that I keep putting off thinking other things are more important? Or perhaps there are needed responses to texts that are so far back they are not in view when scrolling?

With clients I will often ask this question during a follow-up review when they mention feeling overwhelmed or distracted: “What is the action most occupying your attention that if finished would relax the tension?” Each time their response is clear and immediate. And we begin with completing that next step. Without exception the movement of that one incomplete releases the overwhelm and their energy is restored.

What might be stealing your energy?  Ready to get it back?
​

Martha Invitations
1.  If you notice any overwhelm, ask what is most stealing your energy? Do that first.
2.  Watch what gives you energy in your life and do more of it.
3.  Try even the tiniest of movement when you get distracted and release your focus back to the present moment.
