Wise Stewardship Of Your Life Energy It seems that fatigue is an ever-increasing, more frequent experience
and challenge. You start the week on Monday morning enthused, invigorated, optimistic, motivated to follow-through on goals, plans, to-do lists. Yet as the days progress, all that positive energy dissipates. Where does the energy go? We are made of energy - mentally, physically, emotionally, and
spiritually. The choices you make about spending your life energy have outcomes. Your life is financed by the resources you have available to you. You must be conscious of how you spend the energy you have. If you indiscriminately spend your life energy, you may burn out, or be too tired to capitalize on the best opportunities as they come along. Entrepreneurs and salespeople need to preserve time and energy for themselves. They need quality time to make quality decisions; to create, think, invent and plan; to develop sales, marketing and profit breakthroughs; to network and build relationships. Time is needed to collect and assimilate information, for education and
self-renewal, rest, rejuvenation, hobbies, fun, and family. These things cannot survive on left-over time and energy! Taking control of your time and more carefully spending your energy can be the single biggest step toward extraordinary success you will ever take. How Much Do You Value Your Time And Energy? The use or misuse or abuse by others of your time is the single most important factor affecting your life energy. The question to keep front and center
is: how can I best use my resources of time and energy to manifest what I want? Most people let time and energy get away, let other people and circumstances control them. Try thinking about doing the opposite - exercise control to manifest your desires by creating boundaries and having a personal
time plan that you live by. Focus on developing and sticking with habits that support your plan. Here at our practice we try to demonstrate we value your time by committing to seat you for your appointment without the long wait we’ve all experienced at medical offices – and if we don’t, we give
you a $50 credit. The Power Of Quiet, Personal Time "All man's miseries derive from not being able to sit quietly in a room alone," the famous scientist Blaise Pascal
observed. In our noisy world, we are bombarded by sound, by loud music, sirens, construction, or other’s conversations. When we enter a room, we habitually turn on the television, radio, or computer. Many people preserve no quiet time whatsoever in each day, or even each week. Spiritual teachers
tend to agree that we need to go into silence for wisdom. When you can visit the silent spaces of your mind and turn off the external noise, you are most likely to discover new possibilities and opportunities, new and different solutions to nagging problems. Quiet time can recharge your life energy. I urge you to demand more silence in your life. I urge you to create, to schedule quiet
times. Are you a human being - or a human doing? Our lives have become endless work, non-stop activity. This kind of non-stop 'doing' wears you down and wears you out. Set aside one out of every seven days when you do not do business, and make it a day of relaxation, recreation, quiet time, and time
with family. This is not a new idea. There is the tradition of the Sabbath, one day a week set aside as holy, for rest, rehabilitation, prayer, meditation, thought and family - not work. This has been lost to many today. People who used to rest on Saturday or Sunday now spend those days shopping, working around the house, paying bills and conducting business. Don't you think you
deserve one day of real rest each week? Any time is a good time to reconsider your personal time plan! Remember, the question to keep front and center is: how can I best use my resources of time and energy to manifest what I
want?
