Confession: I slept a good part of the day away yesterday.
I’m battling my usual seasonal allergies plus I didn’t sleep well the night before. I thought “It’s understandable – I’ll take an allergy pill, a long nap and I’ll be fine.” And I was – for the most part – I wasn’t 100% – but I was able to pull myself together, shower and enjoy a family dinner and birthday party later that afternoon.
This feeling reminded of how I would often feel this way when I worked in corporate earlier in my career. The truth was, I felt this way pretty much every day AND I did not have confidence that anything could help me to rally and get productive or feel energetic. Can you relate?
- Do you feel tired before you go to work (even if you slept well the night before)?
- Do you anticipate that you will be drained physically and emotionally by events that will surely come up at work each day?
- Do you doubt you will have the energy to deal effectively with your work each day (no less accomplish a few goals)?
- Even if you had the energy, do you doubt that your energy and efforts would make a difference?
- Do you feel emotionally drained after your work day?
There is a way to get your energy back!
