In this episode, I share the story of how I recently rediscovered my energy sweet spot for my early morning routine. This immediately reminded me that it's been far too long since I've personally conducted an "Energy Audit."

The Energy Audit Exercise allows you to evaluate the people, places/environments, things, habits/behaviors, thoughts, and beliefs that either fill you with energy or drain your energy. It is a powerful tool that you can use to gain insights into your own energy levels.

Instructions For Doing An Energy Audit.

1.  Create a document with two columns.
•  Column 1 = “What FILLS Me With Energy.”
•  Column 2 = “What DRAINS Me of Energy”
2.  Make a list of all the people, places, things, habits and thoughts that fill you with energy and then a list of those that drain you of your energy.
3.  Pick one energy-draining item and write it down.
4.  Consider why you do this energy-draining thing and what benefits it provides.
5.  Finally, decide how you could either remove this item from your life to stop the energy drain, or alter it in some way so that it switches to energizing you instead of draining you.
6.  Repeat steps 3-5.

Going through this process for multiple energy-drains will create an audit that shows you how to maximize your personal energy.
