With spring setting in, are you regaining your energy? If not, how can you increase your energy? There are several tests available to take stock of your energy level. For my part, I use one, first created by the Coaching de gestion school, and I added my color to it. I explore the following spheres: relationships, finances, well-being and the physical environment.

TEST (you answer true or false):

Relationship : This sphere is related to the people around you and your behavior with those around you.

  • I don’t have relationships that bore or depress me.
  • I get along well with my boss, colleagues and/or co-workers.
  • I make requests to others instead of complaining to everyone.

Finances : This sphere is related to money and your source of income.

  • My career/work/business is on a personally and financially rewarding path.
  • I rarely miss work due to illness.
  • I pay my bills on time.

Well-being : This sphere is related to your health and lifestyle habits.

  • I take care of myself immediately when I am faced with emotional or physical problems.
  • I exercise regularly (2-3 times a week).
  • I take a vacation at least once a year and twice when possible.

Physical environment : This sphere is related to the places you frequent (home, work).

  • I live in a place that I have chosen and that I love.
  • I don’t accumulate or store things that I don’t use.
  • I breathe well.

To ensure the success of your approach

You need an action plan that will help you reduce the sources that are harmful to your energy levels and/or increase those that give you energy. For even more success, here are the keys to a well-defined action plan! 1. Select one item at a time!

It’s tempting to do everything at once, but success will come in small steps! Only by taking it step by step can you integrate your new habits into your life.

2. Write your new habit on a piece of paper.

I suggest the good old paper. Personally, I believe that writing makes it easier for the brain to remember. I’ve already heard that it’s scientifically validated, if you’re interested, do the research! For digital enthusiasts: take a picture of your sheet of paper:)

On your sheet you write: A) your new habit and B) three sources of motivation to achieve it.

As life likes to put barriers on us, I also suggest a risk management plan ;-): C) write down the possible obstacles and D) how you will get around them.
