Question from a reader:

“I’ve actually never thought about "energy" although I'd like to think I have a lot of it. Per my husband, he's never met someone like me that can go-go-go. I can generally work on projects until 2am and awake at 7am for the day. So in this case it's not really healthy that I'm getting less than the normal 8 hours of sleep.

So am I truly performing at my best?”

What does the energy coach say, aka me:

While I am a strong believer that there is always room for improvement, I am also a strong believer, that you don't have to improve everything.

You see, we are creators, professionals, solopreneurs. No matter the title - we have endless todo lists.

And adding another thing on top of it, just for the sake of it getting a little better? No, I am going to talk you out of it.

But if you are a go-go-go person, who cannot stop once going, and by this you deprive your normal (questionable) 8 hours of sleep, ask yourself these questions:

• Do YOU feel like you are performing below usual on the following days after an overnighter?
• How do you feel a day or two after that?

If you are feeling down after an all-nighter or the following days, then you can definitely make some easy improvements that will sustain your productivity.

I am myself a hyped person, and once I get going I cannot stop :)

And I don't stop myself there. I go on, if that produces results and makes me happy.

What I do afterwards - I get into active recovery, paying more attention to what my body, mind and soul needs.

Because even if I don't feel like I am down, I know it will catch up with me when I least expect it.

Moreover, being naturally a very energetic person that starts and doesn't stop, I learned so much from making myself still. Physically, mentally, emotionally.

That's when I really discovered my real productivity :)

So maybe this is also a path for your to explore.

Your personal energy coach,
Olena
