Seven Levels of Energy
Before I dive into the foundational principles I learned and how we can apply them to money, I need to start with how we connect with our thoughts and emotions. There are two types of energy- anabolic and catabolic.
Anabolic energy is “Constructive, building, healing energy. This type of energy releases anabolic hormones, such as endorphins and dopamine, into the body.”
Catabolic energy is “Draining, destructive energy. This type of energy releases catabolic chemicals, such as cortisol and adrenaline, which actually eat away at our very cells.”
These are not positive vs. negative or good vs. bad. They just are. We experience both of these on any given day. The point is not to judge them, but to become aware of them. As we increase our awareness around which level of energy we are experiencing, we can make a conscious choice to shift that energy if needed and experience life from a different lens.
Through my training, I’ve learned to coach from the inside out. WHO you believe you are determines WHAT you do and HOW you do it. Our thoughts determine our feelings which determine our actions. So if we start with just WHAT to do, but neglect your core thoughts/beliefs (your WHO), you won’t experience sustainable, lasting change.
Here are the seven levels of energy described. Remember, the goal is not to always be at a higher level. It’s to be aware of how you are showing up and consciously choose if that’s where you want to be.
