When we are working within our talents and natural ability, we are able to
work effortlessly and time flies by.
When we are working in areas where we are competent but have little natural
talent, time drags.
Too often we look externally for answers when needing to decide to do
something or not.
By paying attention to the energy that is generated or depleted as a result of
our behaviours, we have a built in autocorrect mechanism.
Activities that build energy keep us in flow are easy to do and leave us
feeling more alive when we are finished.
Those that use up a lot of our energy, exhaust us, leaving us tired and
depleted
Energy inducing activities use strengths to make us stronger.
Energy sapping activities ignore strengths and make us weaker.
Our built in energy system can act as an intuitive guide to everything that we
do.
As with all good guides though, we need to acknowledge that we need guidance.
