The end of the year is the perfect time to reflect on the last year to strategize for major life improvements. After all, with 12 fresh months, you can make the incremental changes to be in a completely different place by next year. One major metric to consider is examining the drains on your energy and what gave you some spark back.
Reflecting on these energy boosts and burdens, saps, and supports can give you a clearer picture of what is working and what could work more effectively. These can be things you optimize, add to your life, or remove completely.
This post pulls together some valuable ways to examine these gains and drains to help you better protect your energy. The downtime this December can give you a clearer perspective so you can make shifts in how you do things, what you give your time to, and what you value
We strive to make our living spaces comfortable. However, habits can hide in our homes as we seek more comfort. However, you can decide what works best for you and establish ways to support yourself while also finding those drains hiding in your habitat.
One big energy drain that can compound over time is clutter. It can naturally happen as we start projects and leave them out so we can remember to complete them. Or sometimes time can get away from us, and we leave out freshly laundered clothes, unopened mail, or even items that no longer belong in our lives.
Our brains naturally automate certain thought patterns. So while we may be bothered by our messy desk, disorganized closet, or dirty kitchen our brain will alleviate this discomfort to some degree by shifting it from our conscious mind.
Over time, our body becomes immune to the discomfort caused by the clutter. But subconsciously, our body can seek comfort from the stress. It’s like when you get accustomed to noise it still bothers you just not as much. This low level of stress from clutter can cause us to overeat or seek out other self-soothing. Clutter can keep us in certain addictive or toxic patterns as we seek instant gratification rather than dealing with the underlying issue of that mess.
How you personally work best is the best way for you to do things. Do you write better at night? Do you need a run in the morning or at lunch for your brain to be clear? We all want to be more organized and while we may be able to hire an organizer, try the KonMari cleaning method or invest in countless storage solutions the best bet is to create systems that work for use.
During the downtime at the end of the year, you can start to devise what’s the best way to do what you need to. Some people do their morning prep at night by showering and packing their work items and lunches. Other people wake up two hours earlier and do personal work, exercise and plan their days.
There is no right or wrong way to work but finding how you work best and optimizing this can mean that you gain so much more energy by streamlining your time and working with your energy which can net you more success rather than trying to work with a system that doesn’t mesh with your lifestyle.
Synching your organization style to how you work best, when you work best, and establishing that routine in your living space can support your efforts and may even give you more energy over time and you work with the flow of your energy and support yourself more.
Time like energy can be finite. Keeping an eye on what works in our schedule can show us where we may be wasting time. Wasting time can fundamentally affect our energy by meaning we have to work harder later or compensate for what we’re missing now. When looking at your gains and drains this year keep an eye on what affects your time. Here’s a common gain and drain.
When we multitask we can feel like a superhero. We are getting so much done and we feel like we are truly rocking our to-do list. However, what if multitasking was a myth? Over time, multitasking can drain because it actually causes a mental and energetic lag.
Multitasking can seem like you’re getting more done but your brain is switching gears. As it adjusts there are certain mental blocks that appear. Let’s say you’re writing an email when you’re at the store. These are two different parts of the brain and as you switch gears you end up losing time and energy as you switch between both tasks.
While it may be imperceptible especially if you are riding the high of feeling hyper-efficient, ultimately this means you are giving neither task your complete attention, increasing your risks of making mistakes and use more energy overall. Rather than multitasking you can try scheduling similar tasks for set times in your day like correspondence every morning at 10 am or small household tasks at 7:30 to have the same effect of nailing to-do list items without draining brain power.
One secret super gain is downtime. Factoring downtime into your schedule can be a boon to so many of your goals. We are constantly bombarded by stimuli, information, and distractions. Carving out some time to relax gives your brain time to process all of this information.
Our brain has a default mode network that is working at 20% when we are not actively working on something. This is why sometimes we have great moments of inspiration or find the answer to a major life issue while doing a mundane task like folding laundry or washing dishes.
A little idle time helps your body and mind rest. Helps your entire system optimize and process everything you’ve experienced and been exposed to and it can help you get more done with less.
While many may look at downtime as a luxury or laziness, it can actually be a way for you to fundamentally net more resolution, finish more tasks, and conserve much more energy while gaining more vigor from getting adequate rest and excitement from more success.
Your body is a temple. Keeping an eye on lifts your vitality levels and what can make you feel depleted can be valuable feedback on what your body needs. Here’s a gain and drain to get your body moving into the new year with more spring in your step.
We live in a culture of addictions. Caffeine, our devices, smoking, drinking, and sugar can all be that one pesky habit you want to give up this new year. These habits often involve immediate gratification and dopamine release rather than dealing with the fundamental success of stopping.
One thing to keep in mind as you enter into the New Year’s Resolution season is that when we make resolutions to stop something they can often be less successful. One large-scale experiment found that approach-oriented resolutions were more inclined to succeed vs. avoidance ones.
This means maybe rather than making the resolution to quit smoking or sugar instead find a habit that counteracts the ill effects like going for a run. If you establish a running practice, over time you’ll likely want to quit smoking or cut down on sugar. Rather than try to cut down on phone time, pack your morning with small wins so you get your first hit of dopamine in the morning from completing much-needed tasks vs. social media notifications.
One natural boost to your body’s energy is quantum energy. Quantum energy is a form of pure positive energy. Often taxing energy exchanges can come from free radicals, radiation, and unstable molecules trying to take electrons to find balance.
These drains can impact your body but are happening on the cellular level. Quantum energy works by having an excess to healthily give the negative environmental factors and even some of your body’s cells electrons they need for balance.
Quantum Upgrade allows you to establish a field of pure quantum energy around your body, to a specific place like your office or living space. This means you get a consistent influx of quantum energy that not only harmonizes the energy in that space but will boost your vitality and clarity of mind.
Studies have found these quantum fields are associated with improved cellular recovery and ATP production. ATP is the cellular unit of energy meaning that your energy boost starts on the cellular level, as well.
One way to look at your year is what gave and took away your energy. This gives you an easy way to divide what you need to bring in more of and what you need to cut down or eliminate altogether. This can help you preserve your productivity, and peace of mind, and make use of your potential.
This article offers just a few simple gains and drains but as you think about your year look at what drain can you turn into a gain. How you use your energy is up to you but it should also serve you most of all and some small subtle changes can make next year your best year yet.
