Food For Thought Energy management, unlike time management, focuses on preserving and enhancing personal resources for consistent performance and wellbeing. In our fast-paced work environments, clients often find themselves bouncing back and forth between high-stress situations, inevitably leading to exhaustion. However, the key to sustained performance and wellbeing is not merely 'bouncing back,' but cultivating a balance in energy expenditure and renewal. We should guide our clients to understand that following high-demand phases, an intentional phase of renewal is needed. This 'energy wave' approach – oscillating between energy expenditure (stress) and renewal (recovery) – facilitates a new kind of resilience, one that promotes sustainability over the long term. (Loehr & Schwartz, 2003) 2. Inspiring Quote “Energy is the essence of life. Every day you decide how you're going to use it by knowing what you want and what it takes to reach that goal, and by maintaining focus.” – Oprah Winfrey 3. Free Science-Based Tool Energy Management Audit. To operate at our best, it is important to understand where we gain energy from and what we can do to refuel.
