3. Follow your energy

Following your energy is about doing what feels right for you instead of what you think you should be doing. It’s about listening to your intuition and inner voice and trusting yourself to make the right decisions.

One way to follow your energy is to identify what activities bring you purpose and fulfillment. It could be anything from reading a book, walking in nature, or spending time with loved ones. Make time for these activities, and notice how you feel afterward. Feeling energized, you’ll be more productive, creative, and happier.

Manage your energy

Ask yourself:

  • What activities destroy my mood and drain my energy?
  • What activities make me feel good and give energy?

It’s not about avoiding hard things. It’s about looking at the results activities have on your mood.

Self-source your energy

We usually find ourselves energized when things "go right" in our lives. When things don't go well, we tend to let our circumstances consume our energy.

To self-source your energy, make time to meet your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Increase your "insignificant" experiences

Simply spending time together doing unimportant and supposedly meaningless activities—reading the paper, listening to music, watching TV, or doing laundry—can be more important to the health of a relationship than talking about feelings.
