Managing Energy

Usually when we talk about our energy level, we are talking about our physical energy—the drive and strength to move and control our bodies the way we want. But the truth is we possess many different types of energy: emotional energy, mental energy—even spiritual energy. Each type of energy has its own strength, its own limits, and its own needs for replenishment. And no matter how well we take care of our energy levels, they will fluctuate over time. Energy management is highly individual and a process of self-discovery; what works for us may not work for someone else, and what works for someone else may have little effect on us. What is universal is that our energy is not a measurement of our value, or even in our control, but something that is part of us.
