71. Patching energy leaks with internal work

When business is feeling draining, we often jump straight to "how do I implement better systems so I can get more done with less energy". In Episode 70 I covered why this approach is misguided and can actually create further energy drains and more unsustainable situations. In this episode I cover 4 places to start if you are looking to patch up energy drains in your business: Not running away from or distracting yourself from your intuition, your desires, vulnerability, or emotion. Building self-trust = less energy distracting yourself and avoiding. Leaving space for the unknown and being willing to figure it out as you go. This means not trying to preemptively solve future problems from your current perspective AND being willing to try things that may not work. Actively challenging your upper limits and allowing yourself to live in your zone of genius. In other words - catching yourself when you start to spiral into unnecessary doubt and fear, which requires you to challenge current belief systems and try on new truths. Moving beyond dichotomous, binary, all-or-nothing, or black-and-white thinking that often causes a constant pendulum swing between extremes. In order to stay on your path, you have to start living in the gray area.
