A Basic Understanding of Your Energy Reserves
Nova Health Club • February 27, 2019
There are three different types of energy we as humans can draw upon each day.
1) Emotional
2) Mental
3) Physical
Regardless of how high your energy levels are on a given day, the fact is we deplete our total energy reserve through accessing each type of energy.
Some common examples we find ourselves in are:
i) Going through a personal crisis that fully taxes the emotional energy system will impact the output of mental and physical energy.
ii) Exhausting ourselves at work with mental challenges to the point that working out at the end of the day is too difficult or being emotionally engaged at home is draining.
iii) Being overly physical during the day to the point that we want to collapse on the coach rather than give mental or emotional energy into other important projects and tasks.
Take a moment to reflect on how you spend your energy each day. Are you giving so much in one area that it has a negative impact in other areas? Ask yourself where you need to conserve some energy, whether it be for physical things like exercise, mental for work or emotional for relationships and other passions.
