Your Energy is Your Edge

You’ve heard the saying “energy doesn’t lie,” but have you ever thought about it in terms of your success, your relationships, or your personal power?

Here’s the deal: Your energy is the invisible force that shapes everything you do. Whether you’re building a business, growing your personal practice, or just trying to make it through a busy week, your energy is either fueling you or draining you.

So how do you manage it? How do you protect it? And how do you make it work for you instead of against you?

Here’s the secret: Energy is everything. And when you treat it as your edge, your superpower, your secret weapon—it’ll change the way you show up in life.

The Energy Drain

First, let’s talk about what drains your energy. We all have those things or people that leave us feeling wiped out. Maybe it’s an overwhelming task, a toxic relationship, or just the constant buzz of life. Here’s the thing—those drains aren’t just physical. They take an emotional, mental, and spiritual toll. And that’s where the real damage happens.

Ask yourself:

• What in your life consistently feels like a drain?

• What situations leave you feeling empty or anxious?

• How can you cut back on these drains?

Energy Boosters

Now, onto the good stuff—boosters. These are the things that lift you up and make you feel alive. They recharge you in ways that go beyond a cup of coffee (though hey, I’m not knocking the coffee).

Some quick boosters:

• Movement: Whether it’s yoga, a walk, or dancing around your living room, moving your body changes your energy and clears stuck emotions.

• Breathwork: Deep, intentional breathing helps you tap into calm and clarity.

• Boundaries: Saying no to things that don’t align with your vibe protects your energy and your peace.

• Solo time: Recharging in solitude helps you tune into your own energy and recharge.

Protecting Your Energy

The real key to using energy as your edge is learning to protect it. That means setting boundaries, surrounding yourself with supportive people, and having rituals in place to guard against energy vampires.

Ask yourself:

• What boundaries can you set this week to protect your peace?

• How can you start your day in a way that builds energy instead of draining it?

• What practices (like meditation, journaling, or yoga) can you integrate into your daily life to maintain your energetic strength?

The Bottom Line

When you prioritize your energy, you’re prioritizing your success, your well-being, and your happiness. You’re setting yourself up for success in all areas—without burning out or sacrificing your health.

So this week, let your energy be your edge. Start noticing where it’s flowing and where it’s getting stuck. Protect it, nurture it, and watch how it starts to propel you forward.
