Week 4

Energetic Self Perception Chart
Overwhelmed – what to do

One of the last topics we covered was finding/making for self-care and in the discussion after I stopped the recording Linda pointed out that if it’s really important to you, you’ll make the time for it. For example, if someone called you and said you won a million dollars, can you take 45-minutes out of your day to come and fill out the paperwork and collect your check, you’d make the time for it.

These are the questions to think about and answer this week for your fieldwork:

• Notice when feeling overwhelmed and take a look at it
• (optional) Complain less – notice when you want to complain. What are you complaining about? Is there something you can do (even small) to look at the situation differently?
• (optional) What energy level do you think is your default? Which one do you want to be your default? What’s one small thing you can do to shift that default energy?
• What is one thing that you will do this week that replenishes your energy (physical, mental or emotional)?
