3-2-1 Fix the Holes in Your Energy Bucket

Stop the Energy Leaks.

3 Thoughts from Terri 

• “This website is draining power from your computer. You may want to discontinue viewing it.” I recently received this message on my computer and considered it the best alert ever! I want this message to pop up whenever something is draining power from me, or when I have a hole in my energy bucket.

• Here are some possible examples:
  Hello Terri,
  “This person is draining power from you today. End the conversation and walk away.”
  “You’re worrying about things you don’t control. Turn your attention to what you can control.”
  “Your screen time is draining your bucket. Read that interesting book instead.” 
  “You’re low on power. Take a nap.” 
  “Say ‘no’ to this request. Your plate is full.”
  “That messy drawer is really bugging you. Take time right now to organize it.”

• There can be big holes or pinholes in our buckets. Identify them daily so you can act quickly to stop the leaks. While filling our energy buckets is a priority, sealing up the holes is essential.
