How to Get More Energy

On a scale of one to 10, how much energy do you have while you're working? How much energy is your team feeling from you right now? Do you have as much energy at the end of your workday as you do at the beginning of your workday? Know that energy is an open-loop circuit, meaning that every single person that you lead, that you connect with, also to your stakeholders, get energy from you, or potentially you could be draining people's energy. There's only one person who is responsible for your energy and that's you.

So I want you to think about at work and at home, or if it's the same place, while you're working, while you're not working, what in your life is giving you energy and what in your life and at your work is draining your energy. Energy gainers, and energy drainers. You need to be crystal clear on what is filling you up and what is depleting you. Now, as a leader, you are responsible for bringing infectious, positive, optimistic, energetic energy to your team. You need to light them up and have them excited about the mission and achieving the goals and making a difference. That is a key part of your role.

How are you spending your mornings? What are you doing when you're at lunch? What are you doing in the evenings and on the weekends to grow your energy? Are you sleeping seven to nine hours a night? Are you eating nutritious food that gives you energy? Are you exercising and moving? Are you dancing, listening to music? Are you spending time in mother nature? Are you having fun with your friends and family? Are you reading and nourishing your brain with incredible talks and personal and professional development? A happy leader has infectious energy. What are you doing to increase your energy for yourself and your team today? If you like this video, subscribe to my YouTube channel.
