follow the energy
The more aligned your spirit, mind, and body become, the easier it is to read your energy–it’ll guide you to what you should focus on or prioritize.
For instance, my energy right now is heavily flowing toward RLS Wealth; my calendar partly influences this direction of energy because of the time of the year, but I also can feel the pull toward this work.
This doesn’t mean that I have stopped creating (obviously, with my Daily Notes and podcast still flowing) or working towards building the life planning/coaching/financial advice business of AlignedLife+ and LifeDesign+, but those are not the priorities right no, and I’m not placing additional pressure, stress, or energy towards doing more for them.
I know the energy will shift, and my time and focus outside of regular RLS Wealth hours will also shift.
The energy can also shift within the week or even the day; not to get too nerdy, but I was an Econ major and there are macro and micro trends for energy.
The macro is where the energy is focused for the season; for me, that’s RLS Wealth—the overall focus for the next few months will be review meetings, planning meetings, and the normal day-to-day service for clients.
The micro is where the energy shifts in shorter time spans; for example, today is a full day of client meetings, but this Friday is lighter, so I might see my energy for Friday shift towards focusing on creating. I’ll do more writing, video recording, or research than I would normally.
For most of my career, I wasn’t reading where my energy was directing me—I was just giving energy to many things and trying to do so at a high level for all. I’d get lucky occasionally, but looking back, I was inefficient with my energy, which probably stifled growth or kept me from reaching goals quickly.
Recently, I’ve noticed where my energy is directing me and have focused on being disciplined to listen.
My focus on patience has also been extremely helpful because I don’t feel the need to be the future version of my Self I’m moving towards today. I know there’s still a lot of time and work that must be done to be him, so I don’t feel rushed to do many things all at once to get there sooner. Patience has allowed me to follow my energy, continue to do the maintenance work to keep moving in the direction I’m heading and trust that I’m operating on the Universe’s timeline, not mine.
I know the influence of the direction of my energy is not in my control right now. A Higher Power is guiding me, and I’m comfortable following its lead—listening to my heart, intuition, and the pull of energy.
I’m not sure I’d be so connected and understand energy's macro and micro flows if I hadn’t refocused on my alignment of spirit, mind, and body.
That alignment is so powerful, and I continue to learn its power in new ways.
