Don't do what I do!

A few weeks ago I was talking to a lovely group of business owners about energy levels.

I said, “I’m often tired in the afternoons, so I’ve created an appointment called ‘avoid calls’ and popped that in my calendar every day from 3-4pm.”

Then, quelle horreur, the very next day I heard someone on a podcast say:

“If you dip in energy in the afternoons, book in some calls to give yourself a boost!”

For a tiny fraction of a second I panicked, thinking I’d messed up and got it wrong.

And then I chuckled to myself as I remembered what I’ve known for a very long time: there IS no wrong.

During my conversation with those business owners, I wasn’t telling them what to do. I was offering examples of what it might look like to shape their days according to their own natural rhythms. I was encouraging them to get curious and play.

I never say to people, “this is what I do – you should do it too,” because we’re all different.

When I’m tired, I need alone time. When you’re tired, you might need to be social.

You know yourself best, and I’d much rather inspire you to pay attention to what works FOR YOU, than share ‘solutions’ that I know won’t work for everyone.

So, let’s have a little practice at getting curious and experimenting!

What’s a good way for YOU to navigate your own dips in energy?

Are those dips predictable, like mine? If so, would you like to plan around them in some way? What might that look like for you?

Here’s to saying ‘no thank you’ to quick fixes and hacks, and finding what works for YOU!

(I want to help you plan and prioritise so you can get the important stuff done, but I don’t want to be yet another person pushing a one-size-fits-all approach that ignores your natural tendencies and preferences. If you have any questions about what this might look like for you, please do feel free to send me a message and let’s see how I can help.)
