Episode notes
Energy is Our Core Resource
- Energy is the fundamental resource driving all physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual life activities.
- We consciously choose where to invest energy, which influences what grows or diminishes in our lives.
Purpose Combats Energy Chaos
- Human systems require energy across all organ systems; energy deficits in one area disrupt the whole.
- Purpose acts as the ordering force that reduces chaos (entropy) in human energy systems.
Dimensions of Human Energy
- Human energy has quantity, quality (emotional valence), focus, and intensity dimensions.
- Positive emotions deliver high quality, efficient energy, unlike negative emotions, which drain more energy and can cause dysfunction.
