I found some sneaky energy leaks this weekend…
On Friday I went through an epic all day training for AI in business + the Feminine energetics to hold the learnings.
It was a fast paced, focused, and fueled day of really learning a new language and my brain was buzzing and emptied by the end of it all. Saturday was a total day of resting and lounging letting myself recover my energy.
Here’s what I learned about myself as I started to touch back in Sunday. My default programs when I am uncomfortable are to tell myself I need a break.
Now sometimes I actually do need a break, but if I’m really being honest with myself, I justify this way more than I actually need it.
I can move faster and do more than I give myself credit for if I just stay in the moment and work through the discomfort leaning in until it passes.
Taking a break can be an energy leak for me 🤯
I know wtf right how can having a break be an energy leak?
Because when I’m using it to avoid discomfort and the energy that wants to keep flowing gets backed up and if you remember from some of my recent teachings the pressure of the back up springs leaks just like a dam.
The biggest ways this shows up for me physically is fatigue. I get MORE tired taking the break than if I stay with the challenge and move through it.
Mentally I get brain fog or feel anxious and may go into the second guessing monkey brain.
And in my business it means putting things off that I’m not as fluent in which, at the end of the day, really means that it takes me longer to become fluent which slows EVERYTHING down.
Which is a recipe for burnout over the long run.
And here is the most important part. This morning I CHOSE to look at this as the leader of myself and know that I have the tools, resources, and understanding how to shift this program to what I actually want.
And I now know the experience of this in my body now (because I tracked it) so when it ramps up I can see it for what it is and in that moment I can choose a new experience which creates new wiring in my brain and a new chemical signature in my body.
My body will now start responding to the changes which means hormones and neurotransmitters will shift their messaging to support the new wiring.
How incredibly cool is this.
How cool is it that I can change my entire physiology my entire programming in this area with a choice and the follow through actions on what I know needs to change.
Here’s the deal I know this is going to come up again. It’s going to come up to see if I’m serious about the change or would I rather go back to my default comfort zone.
And my body and mind are going to respond and now that I recognize the pattern I get to come to the crossroads of the decision to stay or to go.
That is the power of personal responsibility in your health. You get to lead.
And now I get to celebrate finding this sneaky bu**er and changing.
Even to sit down and write today I had to choose the discomfort of allowing what I knew was ready to be written to come and not rush or force the process.
Here’s a key for you with your health. You can build what you really want. You really can.
And sometimes it’s not about doing a rigid tedious protocol it’s about making the choice, knowing what the current choice feels like in your body, and making a move in the direction of how you want to feel and closing up the leaks that are driving your energy into the ground.
It does not need to be complicated.
What is something that you recently recognized that drains your energy? When it comes up again, make a simple change and follow it all the way through.
And then do it again.
