Your energy is your most precious resource. Are you using it wisely?
Choose one area
What is an area of your life where you feel most off track, stuck, or out of alignment? Choose one.
What feels off track?
What feels stuck or out of alignment in this area?
What drains your energy
Three things that may be draining your energy.
Stuck in your head
What thoughts derail you? What do you ruminate on, worry about, or overthink?
Avoiding discomfort
What are you avoiding feeling? How do you avoid?
Holding on too tight
What are you holding too tight to? What are you trying to control?
My biggest drain
Your values
Values are qualities, not end points. They are how you want to be, not something you finish.
How do you want to be?
In this area of your life, how do you want to show up?
What is most important to you?
What matters most to you here? What is worth your energy?
Your values in a few words
What words would you use to describe your values? For example: patient, kind, humorous, generous, creative.
Map your energy
Add where your energy goes, then drag each one into place. Up is high energy. Right is toward what you care about.
The faded items are examples. They disappear when you add your first one.
Open up
Focus your energy.
Acceptance
What discomfort am I willing to make room for, in service of what matters?
Defuse from thoughts
What thought or story about myself can I hold more lightly? Try adding "I'm having the thought that..."
Perspective
What wise view will I take? What does my Wise Self know?
