THE IDEA
We never really talk about what gives us energy and what drains us, maybe because we are expected to just accept things as
they are. Yet often we find ourselves exhausted, annoyed, anxious, irritated with others, maybe irritated with life and we don’t know why. Or the opposite-excited, joyful, light, curious, invigorated.
The idea that we should have a 5 to 1 ratio is real, but hard to attain- 5 energiezers to 1 drainer in life.
This concept helps build vitality and over time resilience for the times we really need it.
Living life in a 1 to 5 ratio is often when burnout happens.
THE SOLVE
The 14 day challange:
- List the top 10 things that give you energy.
- List the top 10 things that drain vou.
- Is the ratio close to 5 to 1?
THE CHANGE
Work on the balance. Why are the drainers there so much? Can you change that? Is it a temporary situation? (less than 6 months) What do you need to do to get to the 5 to 1?
THE INVITATION
Are vou drained in an area of your life and need to get back on track? I do leadership coaching to empower leaders like you to take radical ownership of their life and career.
