Spiraling Higher 56. Energetic Debt: Budgeting Your Energy
Almost all of us are familiar with budgeting our money and our time...but what about our energy? Most of are counting our dollars and trying to make the best use of our hours, but in doing so, we are falling into an energetic deficit.
In today's episode, we share some personal details about how we've transitioned from budgeting our time to budgeting our energy. For years, we both had a strict timeline and to-do list that attempted to ensure we would be the most productive, unconsciously putting ourselves into energetic debt over and over again. At a certain point...we had to ask ourselves, "Why?"
Most physiological cues are considered positive, and thankfully, we know when we need to eat or use the bathroom. Yet the physiological signs of being overworked and tired are not met with the same self-caretaking behavior. Most of the time, these cues are met with internalized narratives about how "bad" and "lazy" we are. This conditioning has resulted in us shaming ourselves out of receiving the very thing we so need.
It's unfortunate that we don't see rest as either neutral or positive in our fast-paced, Capitalist culture. Rest has been demonized as the idle threat to our precious productivity. We wear badges of fatigue and show off how much we've done rather than caring about how we truly feel. But for us? It's no longer of utmost importance to be "productive" (we've unlinked productivity from our self-worth!), it's more valuable to be truly well. And in order to become well, we had to rest.
True abundance, to us, is knowing that we have more than enough time to do all the things we desire AND having enough energy to do them.
