Managing Your Energy For High Performance

Say whaaaaaat? Yeah, I don’t know what it means either, but my boss recommended I take a workshop on doing that, and I got to get out of working for a day, so I was all about it (or ’bout it ’bout it, as I like to say).

Anyway, I won’t bore you with the details, but the workshop was about basically how to be balanced and not get burnt out at work. We had to take an “energy audit” where we evaluated our energy on 4 different dimensions (physical, emotional, human spirit, and something else new agey). Basically, I failed on everything except the physical. I guess when you sleep 9 hours a night and work out everyday, you’re left with no friends and a boring job!

But I’m going to change all of that, and you’re going to help! At the end of the class, we wrote down a “ritual” that we’d take up, in order to improve one part of the energy audit (I am totally not explaining this well at all). Basically, we made like a new year’s resolution and an action plan to keep it.

My “ritual” is around spending more time with friends and family- that means YOU, blog readers! My goal is to do something social two weeknights a week. I’ll never quite be at the Mamie level (my roommate who does fun things every single night) but it will be a start in helping me not feel totally run down. And maybe I’ll meet a boyfriend while I’m out doing all these fun social things.

Soon, it will be ME on the cover

Tonight is fun social night #1. Jess will be joining me for yoga and then we will east something delicious and I will return the snow gear that I borrowed from her. All right social life!

In other news I am, for no reason at all, attempting to do yoga every day this week. Can I do that AND go out two nights? Stay tuned…..
