Change Drains Us

When change happens in our lives it drains our energy. We are functioning less on autopilot, out of our routines. Both positive and negative changes use up our energy as we work to adjust to the newness. Learning new behaviors and norms. Increased focus. Overthinking. Worry.

BUT… But don’t bail yourself out of responsibility thinking there’s nothing you can do about it. We all need to take care of our mental and physical health, but we also must understand we are largely in control of our energy! Elite competitors are not dependent on their environment to create energy. They create their own.

Because of the loud change we are all going through right now, plus the added complication of new changes each week, we are getting fatigued. Learning to work from home, adjusting to remote learning, finding new ways to work with and lean on friends, and keeping ourselves safe and sane on a daily basis. This major reshaping of our lives is a taxing thing. And in order to create our own energy through this time where it feels like it’s all being sucked away, we must evaluate our habits, mindsets, and commitments. Create that energy today, regardless of the changes that try to wear you out.
