All kinds of energy prices are rising—not just those that are petroleum or corn-based.
Think about the energy you expend each day dealing with your family culture, company culture and social culture, not to mention your personal culture, AKA your MAP (mindset, attitude, philosophy™)
And not just one kind of energy, but three
- physical,
- mental, and
- psychic (not used as a synonym for mental)
I’ve already written about the importance of budgeting your energy, which involves saying ‘no’ without guilt, so why am I bringing it up again?
Because the current storm (no, it’s not perfect) of rising gas and food prices and global competitive pressures in a shaky economy has the potential to increase your energy use exponentially.
Just as you’ve changed, your driving patterns to conserve gas you need to revisit your personal energy spending and adjust your usage. You also need to increase your energy production by saying yes more often to those things that generate energy for you.
Take the time to (re)read them. Along with better energy management you may even find more time for creative thinking.
What are you doing to conserve your personal energy?
