Do you walk around feeling drained and spent most of the time?\u00a0 Do you have dreams, but don\u2019t ever have time to make them come true?\u00a0 Do you feel like you are just getting through your days, one step at a time?\u00a0 Or do you keeping waiting on \u2018the next thing\u2019 (weekend, vacation, new job, new year, etc.)? \u00a0If you can relate, then your Energy Equation is probably out of balance.\u00a0 It is a simple equation and it makes a ton of sense, but if you are not even aware of it, you will most likely continue to just survive instead of thrive in your life!<\/p>\n
The Energy Equation is this:\u00a0 Output vs. Input.<\/strong> Think of it in terms of a bank account. You are the bank.\u00a0 Outputs are withdrawals (everything that takes from you) and Inputs are deposits (everything that energizes you).\u00a0 If you have more withdrawals than deposits, you\u2019re going down!<\/p>\n Output > Input:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 When you are putting out more than you are taking in, you are going to feel drained and spent and probably sigh a lot.\u00a0 This is just barely surviving.\u00a0 You\u2019re constantly in the red and you can only go on so long in this state before it catches up to you!<\/p>\n Output = Input:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 When you are putting in just enough to get by, you are exhausted and spinning your wheels.\u00a0 You\u2019re living on the edge.\u00a0 You do what you need to, but you don\u2019t really move forward.\u00a0 This is surviving, but not thriving.<\/p>\n Output < Input:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 When you really know what you need and know how to advocate for yourself to get what you need, you will find a wellspring of energy and be more at peace in your life \u2013 while you are accomplishing things.\u00a0 You are thriving in life.\u00a0 You have time and energy<\/strong><\/em> to dream and work towards your goals.<\/p>\n If you see yourself in one of the first two states, there are a few things you can do to start moving your equation in a healthier direction. . .<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Limit your Outputs \u2013 <\/span><\/strong>This means setting boundaries, saying no to people, saying no to yourself<\/strong> <\/em>(to things that you know drain you), not take on others emotions, giving up control of some things, letting others help, asking for help, letting go of perfection, etc.<\/p>\n Increase your Inputs \u2013<\/strong><\/span><\/span> Learn what it takes to recharge your battery.\u00a0 This is not just a vacation or a weekend, etc., but what you can do every single day to recharge yourself.\u00a0 Sit on the deck and watch the stars after a long day at work, go to a park at lunch and listen to the birds, laugh with a friend, listen to some peaceful music, etc.<\/p>\n If your equation is out of balance, know this; you are the common denominator!\u00a0<\/strong> <\/em>You are the one who can bring it back into balance.\u00a0 Ask yourself regularly if what you are doing at that moment is draining you or filling you up.\u00a0 It takes knowing how to both<\/strong><\/em> limit your outputs and make sure you are getting good inputs in order to have a healthy balance in life.\u00a0 Start working on it today, it may change your life!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do you walk around feeling drained and spent most of the time?\u00a0 Do you have dreams, but don\u2019t ever have time to make them come true?\u00a0 Do you feel like you are just getting through your days, one step at a time?\u00a0 Or do you keeping waiting on \u2018the next thing\u2019 (weekend, vacation, new job, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-marriage"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/healingheartsofindy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/healingheartsofindy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/healingheartsofindy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healingheartsofindy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healingheartsofindy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3671"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/healingheartsofindy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3671\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4297,"href":"https:\/\/healingheartsofindy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3671\/revisions\/4297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/healingheartsofindy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healingheartsofindy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healingheartsofindy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
