Energy management – the key to high performance, health and happiness Contrary to popular belief,
energy, not time, is the most valuable asset of modern man. A perfect schedule is useless if energy levels are at zero.
Breathing, eating, drinking and sleeping are essential to maintain physical energy.
Follow your natural rhythms of activity and rest. Choose physical activities that cause your heart rate to change (faster, slower and faster again).
To replenish emotional energy,
do things that make us feel more confident and joyful: have new experiences, take time to socialise, pursue hobbies and create. Empathy, self-discipline, self-confidence, and a willingness to process negative emotions keep our emotional muscles pumping
and help maintain a reserve of positivity.
We need to learn to alternate between periods of active expenditure and full recovery of energy.
