Here is a Sample Lesson and Exercise.

Welcome to Week One!

Lesson 1 Worksheet


REMOVING ENERGY DRAINS



Where do you get your energy? Energy sources are either healthy or unhealthy. And, without energy, it's really tough to make changes. One of the best ways to sabotage yourself is by keeping your energy low.

I'd like to see you build sustainable energy from within. What would it be like to always have a steady flow of energy so you have the ummph to make it through your day without collapsing at night?

This week, I'd like you to pay attention to your energy zappers. Throughout the next three months, in this program, we will gradually upgrade your energy. Let's begin this week by removing the energy drains. Next week, we will take a look at unhealthy energy sources, such as adrenaline, and how to get rid of it.


LIFEWORK



Please list out 25-50 "energy drains." They are called "TOLERATIONS" in the coaching world...By tolerating, or putting up with something that does not work for you, you are depleting your energy...lessening your joy factor. An amazing life does not have many tolerations...A draining life is loaded with 'em.
  1. Print and carry
  2. Lesson 1 Worksheet with you all week and write down the tolerations as they pop up. Keep this list with you at home and work.
  3. Remove at least 3 tolerations from your list by completely handling them.
  4. I will check in on you via email in a few days to see how you are doing!

SAMPLE TOLERATION CATEGORIES


  • Home environment
  • Office environment
  • Technical Equipment - computers, kitchen aids, car
  • Problems hanging over your head - tax, accounting, health
  • People, relationships
  • Personal Products
  • Food, nutrition
  • Money - bills
  • Beauty, body, self care
  • Work
  • Personal characteristics - low confidence, shy, etc.

Click HERE for a list of additional, common tolerations.

MOST of our tolerations can be found in our home environments, such as clutter, a spot on the rug, a lamp that does not work or an uncomfortable bed.

I want you to notice EVERYTHING that bugs you and write it down. Be specific.

Here are a couple of tolerations and solutions:

  • Uncomfortable bed resulting is poor sleep - put new, comfy sheets on the bed or add a feather bed on top of the mattress for extra comfort.

  • Always hungry at work in the AM since no time to cook - begin waking up 15 minutes earlier and have quick breakfast at home — juice, a banana ,muffins etc. Make sure you have all breakfast items on hand each week. Overstock on juice and freeze some muffins. Or, keep granola bars on hand. What is easy for you?

  • Hate writing monthly bills - the solution is to automate your bill payment through a service such as PayMyBills.com, phone-in payments, or set up an automatic debit.

See how easy this is?

The trick here is to take each toleration very seriously. Give it some attention and come up with a solution.

You'll hear from me with a quick check-in note in a few days!

Good luck!
