What “Energy” is and How to Have More
If you read my blog post on the 7 levels of energy, you might be wondering what I mean by “energy.” The best way I know to describe it is “how you show up in life.” This energy is intangible, and reflects our degree of awareness and potential. It’s the backdrop of mindset.
Our energy can’t be created or destroyed, but it can be shifted. If I find I’m consistently showing up to a particular relationship or situation with apathy (Level 1), I can consciously shift that to a higher level. The key here is raising awareness of how I show up, and actually seeing what options are available to me.
The lower catabolic levels 1 and 2 aren’t “bad,” they may be very appropriate options based on the situation. The problem is when we default to those levels instead of consciously choosing them. Often in stress, we default to these lower levels, but what if you could see other options that are available to you in stress? How would that improve your life and how you feel?
What is your current level of self-awareness? This is the difference between how fully you realize your true self versus the “self” you put on for yourself and others to see and accept. Your level of awareness is determined by how you see yourself, the world around you, the people in your life, and life in general.
A very tangible way to see how you are showing up in your relationships, work, and life is to take an assessment. I am certified as an Energy Leadership™ Index Master Practitioner (ELI-MP) and can get you access to this assessment as well as provide you with a one hour debrief on your results and actions for you to take to raise your energy awareness.
The ELI doesn’t solve a skill gap, it solves an awareness gap. It shows you how your energy is affecting a situation and keeping it from becoming an opportunity. One of the things I love about it is that it’s not a predictor of future behavior, it shows you how you are currently showing up in life and what choices are available to you.
How interested would you be in going through the ELI so you can see what’s behind how you are showing up in life AND seeing what is available to you to raise your awareness and energy? If your interest is high, email me and tell me! I’d be happy to give you the details on how to access this insightful assessment.
