Have you noticed? That those time you feel good, feel a lot of energy, feel confident, happy and excited – a lot of things flow? Work flows. Relationships flow. Dating flows. And business grows without much effort!
So in other words – if we raise our energy, if we double it, is likely our business will at least double, and maybe even triple!
But this energy business is so vague, some people say. So what, I dont know what to do with this, others say.
And I get it. It´s because they´re lacking energy awareness. I experienced this myself recently too. That I lost track of my energy awareness. I lost track of where I was gaining energy and where I was losing energy.
So I spent some hours on my own reflecting on what is present when I have more energy – people, places, type of work, where, when, how. And similarly for when I have less energy or feel drained.
And we really know! We really know when we feel good, with who, doing what and in what way. And we really know when we feel bad too. Or worse than we usually do.
Or feeling drained or like we´re leaking energy.
BUT – we seldom or never stop to reflect. And that´s what I want to help you with. To regain or to raise your energy awareness!
Below are a few great questions to help you – and the key here is to keep going.
Keep adding and make the list long long long. And then when you´ve done that for a couple of hours, see what patterns you see. And then continue again tomorrow or in a couple of days. Adjust and add to the list.
Doing this will significantly raise your energy awareness – your understanding of where you gain, have and feel energy and where you lose, lack and feel a lot less of it.
And when you combine this understanding with designing your business and your life accordingly it will make a huge impact on both!

And of course – sometimes things are out of our control. But many many things are in our control. And even those things outside our control we can impact somehow by how we choose to interact with it. The degrees of engagement, presence, friendliness and etc.
