At full power a from. Life at full power: not everything is in time, but the most important thing. Laziness ... or still not laziness

Everything that we do, from workshops to walks with children, we do with maximum dedication. We set ourselves hundreds of tasks and reminders on a smartphone, sleep a little, eat and read on the go. Even diseases are not carried out in bed, but behind a computer monitor. 24/7 power up is so exhausting that one desire remains: to recharge the internal batteries in order to start life again at full capacity.

Man is a complex energy system. If one is charged with anger and despair, the other is extreme, then the third is enough to lie in the fragrant bath to go out into the light of another person. Therefore, it is so important to find your "place of power." And while the magic socket has not yet been invented, it remains to construct recharging according to your personal design.

Ask yourself: what takes my energy

A secret energy leak can be compared to a situation when a cunning neighbor connects to your wifi. The trick is not yet visible, but the Internet freezes, and the speed drops. There are standard programs for the computer, and for us - their own verification options.

Unfinished business or why hands do not reach

Unfinished business - these are real time eaters. In the diaries of business people, they are marked as “unimportant and non-urgent”, and in everyday life they are simply called: “I will do it sometime later.” It seems like a dirty cup or unedited table can reduce my power? It turns out that even as they can.

There are cool comparisons in folk wisdom: “legs don't go” or “hands don't reach.” Unfinished business can be compared to microscopic anchors tied to legs or arms. One, of course, is unable to slow down. And when are there already dozens of them? As a result, one's own life resembles movement under the water column: like a lot of effort is spent, and the result is zero.

What to do? Write a list of unfinished little things, and then set aside time to complete them. At home: carry out cleaning, minor repairs, get rid of unnecessary souvenirs, old clothes, toys. At work: to sort out the “unread letters” folder in the mail, to reset the list of tasks from the category of unimportant-and-non-urgent: to complete or delete them from the diary. Once you feel a surge of energy.

Laziness ... or is it not laziness?

Laziness is the protection of the body from unnecessary or meaningless actions. Remember situations when you cannot get up in the morning before the meeting, at which there will definitely be a "debriefing." And even the positive affirmations “I am good, I can” together with a cup of vigorous coffee do not add a drop of energy. But in the boutique for discounts, yes even on foot, but to the other end of the city - it's easy.

The signal comes from the head. If internal mechanisms create friction, the movement slows down, energy drops sharply. No pokes of consciousness like “come on, get together, you must” will not add strength and will not remove the feeling of global fatigue. Even a change of activity or a long rest will not help. To continue work, you need to deal with the source of resistance.

Do not call yourself a "lazy ass", but work your head. First, recognize the situation itself. Secondly, try to figure it out on your own. To do this, it’s worth connecting your intuition to understand: the work on the project does not move, because the client is simply unpleasant as a person, and the desire to get up and go to work is killed in vicious squabbles in the team. Thirdly: ask for help from a colleague - if it comes to a client, friends, relatives or a psychologist.

List of other energy leak funnels

In addition to old grievances, worries about the future, fictional fears, a “toxic” environment, unloved work and personal perfectionism, there is a list of reasons that literally take up strength.
  The body simply suffers from:

• An unhealthy diet without protein and fiber, but with an excess of carbohydrates and caffeine.
• Lack of vitamins and trace elements (zinc or selenium, for example).
• Lack of sleep or night work.
• The lack of sport, even in its minimal manifestation.
• Hormonal or other disorders that only doctors can detect.

But most of all we suffer from a lack of laughter, smiles, fun, pleasant words and simple everyday "hugs" in the body. Replenishing their supply is much easier than chewing cabbage leaves. But there are several more ways to stir up your energy.

Ask yourself: how can I replenish energy

Combining movement and life at full power is possible only by alternating periods of activity with rest. Indeed, the endless lying on the couch without the "emission" of energy in the same way leads to a breakdown, like a continuous race. Long-distance running should be turned into a series of sprint races and alternate them with periods of rest.

Rest during work when the whole world is opposed to rest

It’s a paradox, but in our corporate culture, smoking a cigarette is almost equal to a legalized ritual. Whereas a five-minute walk around the office raises suspicions of losing control. But all nature and our genes are filled with pulsations: periods of activity and peace.

Stress is becoming such an internal drug. The desire to constantly experience an adrenaline rush is explained by the desire to put things off until tomorrow, and then do everything in one night in an emergency mode. But the body does not forgive. At first, he tactfully gives signals of fatigue in the form of yawning, hunger and loss of attention. And then he will put you to bed at the most inopportune moment: a cold with a high fever or a heart attack.

What to do? Alternate periods of work with complete dedication and relaxation. To start, turn off the sound in the phone and background music. How important motorists know: when they are in an unfamiliar area and are afraid to miss the right turn, they unconsciously turn off the radio. Because extraneous sounds make it difficult to concentrate. Then set the timer to 45-50 and all this time engage in the task. But when the timer works, you can walk or move to your favorite melody.

Rest while relaxing without guilt

Time management has captured us so much that it has changed our outlook on relaxation. Instead of talking at the table, we leaf through social media feeds, and combine running on a treadmill with listening to motivational trainings. Just lying on the couch causes an acute sense of shame, because rest must be active.

Perhaps the most common reason that we stopped resting “just like that” is the fuzzy boundaries between working and non-working hours. When our mothers and fathers got up from the workplace or turned off the machine - they went home to go about their business. Today, mobile phones simply do not let you relax, and an e-mail message causes a nervous tick: what if someone wrote something very important.

What to do? Do something without a tough goal or photos for networking if you're a woman. And for men - to abandon competitions or overcomes.

The goal is to feel the buzz not from the result, but from the process itself. To disassemble a cupboard, wash windows, do embroidery or knitting - all this sounds like a feminist’s nightmare, but it helps. To repair a chair or hang shelves in a garage - such activities will not only replenish energy, but also distract men and sons from tablets.

Just leave yourself alone

If you can’t immediately determine your “places of power”, there are several unusual ways to regain your lost energy. They will help you just relax, improve your mood and concentration.

• Use positive emotions as fuel for life at full power.
• Develop a sense of empathy, empathy, communication skills.
• Do not let the brain relax. The best thing for the brain is reading, learning languages, creativity, imagination.
• Connect spiritual energy and deep values.

Of course, periods of stagnation will happen, but they will not become too long, if you take seriously the issue of replenishment of energy. Gradually, the wise organism will reorganize to a new rhythm and will tell you what to do this time, so that the sinusoid of energy creeps up again.

Life at full power is possible if we correctly establish a balance between the expenditure of energy and its recovery. The first thing to do is to admit that the methods of managing your resources need to be fixed. Then - to determine the places of leakage of precious energy. The second is to allow yourself to rest and relax. And there, the energy itself will begin to control you, just give it time.

Life at full power analyzes four main types of energy: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. These energies are interconnected, they can be spent and accumulate.

Life at full power  - Book Review

Energy

We all often experience fatigue, irritability, lack of motivation, and other symptoms. According to the authors, this is due to the loss of positive energy. Therefore, people should have a balance between energy expended and energy restored. Often our performance is not in the ability to work long and hard, but in the ability to relax in breaks.

Four main types of energy can be distinguished: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. It is the interconnected and harmonious work of all these energy reserves that ensures life at full capacity. Energy can vary from positive to negative, from high to low, which reflects the illustration. The greatest efficiency is demonstrated by those whose energy runs between high positive energy (active work) and low positive (rest-recovery).

Physical energy

Physical energy is one of the most important energies. It feeds all other forms of energy. Therefore, it is very important for people engaged in intellectual work to shift their attention to physical energy, performing any physical exercises.

Also, physical energy can include breathing, proper nutrition and sleep.

Emotional energy

Emotional energy includes your favorite activities and hobbies, hobbies, going to theaters, cinema, traveling and much more. Emotional energy is what you want to do! It is very important to be able to shift attention to emotional energy.

Mental energy

Mental energy helps our personality develop and not stand still. It is worth noting here that our brain is very plastic and we can constantly improve its work by giving it mental stress and learning something new.

Spiritual energy

The authors understand spiritual energy not as a religious component, but as our values \u200b\u200band goals. Spiritual energy makes us act, gives perseverance and perseverance. The main component of spiritual energy is our character, which needs to be educated in ourselves.

Training and practice

Goal setting

Human development takes place from the bottom up - from the physical level to the spiritual. However, changes must be directed in the opposite direction starting from the spiritual level.

Setting themselves interesting goals, they become a powerful tool for the accumulation of positive energy. The main thing to remember is that the goal should be positive, the goal should be exactly yours, the goal should not be selfish.

It is also important to experience true values \u200b\u200bin your characters — kindness, mercy, caring, etc. Values \u200b\u200bbecome our virtues when we act in accordance with them.

Be honest with yourself

Pay attention to your negative and positive sides. Studying yourself should become a constant habit. Listen to your inner self. Be flexible - try to evaluate your established ideas critically

Positive rituals - energy management tools

According to various estimates, we can instill any habit in the period from 7 to 30 days.

To leave the comfort zone and inculcate rituals must be gradually, so as not to break too quickly. You don’t have to take too many obligations at once, promising to completely change your life from the new year or from Monday. Try to focus on one important change in a specific time period.

Rituals based on deep values \u200b\u200bare the best tools for energy management. They allow us to consolidate good habits, define new priorities, change our lifestyle and train the “muscles” of our energies.

" This book helped me summarize my practical knowledge about the “basic” energy, which I call “practical”, and build metaphysical and esoteric knowledge on top of it, and build the first training.

It contains very important things that have greatly affected my life, and I want to remind you of them again.

About the book "Life at Full Power"

The main idea of \u200b\u200bthe book:  the most precious resource is energy, not time. I reveal this point a bit in my book. If you do not have enough vitality (energy) to take any action, then no time management or planning will help.
  The table below sets out the new paradigms by which the authors propose replacing the “old” ones.

Do not rush to leaf through, think about them:

First principle  Achieving full power requires connecting all of these interconnected energy sources.

Second principle  says that we must maintain a balance between energy expenditure and its accumulation. Since our energy capabilities are reduced both with excess and with insufficient use of energy.

Third principle  lies in the fact that to increase the capacity of our energy reserves, we must go beyond the usual norms of its expenditure, that is, expand our comfort zone. This principle can still be characterized in a word supercompensation. This term is used in sports. Jim Loer himself - works with many athletes and teaches them how to use energy. And what he found in these consultations now offers others to try.

The effect of supercompensation is easier to explain on physical  energy: after muscle loading, some fibers are destroyed, and they need some time to recover. As muscle fibers are restored, physical energy grows and at some point it exceeds that which was before training (load). And if at this moment again load the muscles, then by the end of this cycle the energy will be even higher. Of course, there is a limit to all this, but it is hard to achieve. If you do not withstand these pauses for recovery, the so-called overtraining occurs, and the effect is the opposite - the energy decreases.

The same laws (only without the destruction of “muscle fibers”) can be found in the behavior of other types of human energy. And for them, the concept of “muscle” is also introduced.

In order to achieve full power you need to do everything three steps:

• Define what you really want;
• Face it;
• Take steps to change your habits (rituals).

Understand exactly what I want - is to define your values. What is important for me in life, what are my goals, desires, how do I want to live life? In different areas. In detail - you can write about this for a very long time, but the essence is the same: what is important to me?

Take action to change habits. You don’t have to change everything immediately, otherwise you are doomed to failure. Will have to use willpower, which is a limited resource. And you cannot follow the second principle - to maintain energy balance. The authors suggest introducing positive rituals, bringing them to automatism, so that then they don’t have to spend energy on them at all - they will work on their own.

The strengths and the lack of books

The strength of the book is that it uses only “ practical energy"- that is, no metaphysics. Only physical laws and their projections on the psycho-emotional state of a person, and on his body. This is a huge plus, so these manifestations of "energy" can be proved, felt, you can call it a science without any profanity. Only a reasonable, systematic and even “mathematical” approach. It can be introduced into your life very easily.

This is not sarcasm, I really respect the authors for their work. To simplify and systematize in “materiality” knowledge that is more often transmitted and accessible only to esoteric masters, and to build a coaching program on this — it deserves respect.

And the same “materiality” is the minus of the book, incompleteness. The authors in the book tells us that a person chooses what he values. But they do not consider at all what a person feels, receives in an intuitive way. The fact that these “life at full power” skills easily open up access to metaphysical energy. Perhaps they didn’t write specifically, because it is more difficult to “prove”, and the literature is scientific, but still they didn’t write.

It is practically possible to introduce the knowledge obtained from the book only from the outside, with the help of a specially trained coach. It is necessary to have too high awareness for something to work out. Our consciousness is too much tied to habits, and likes to supplant what we really need to change, and forget about values.

But if we begin to connect our ability such as " sensation of energy“To accustom ourselves to respond not only to conscious messages, but also to a feeling of disharmony and harmony, a feeling of fullness of energy and emptiness, we can attach“ triggers ”to these feelings - the same rituals, but specific ones — triggered internal reactions and constructive management habits his " full power«.

About my approaches and trainings

When I created the trainings « Energy flash mob«, « Energology-2«, « Energetic start"- I set as my first task precisely the development of sensations of energy  among the participants, and, secondly, the current increase in energy among the participants and the incorporation of several constructive rituals.

Key Results  of those trainings - in the fact that the participants have a sense of the difference between a saturated state and an empty state, as well as a sense of the processes of empty and saturated. When you feel that right now, in the current business, energy is flowing out of you, you can change something yourself. How to change? Those same tools, but without the help of a coach from the side.

Not everyone understood why they came to the training, but almost everyone left with gratitude, as evidenced by their feedback on the training.

Now in my database there are a lot of people who feel the energy.

And I decided to go down to basics  - 4 concrete bricks on which energy is built. But at the same time, supplement these basics not only with the methods of "practical energy science", but also with other methods, from esoterics.

New training will help many people summarize their knowledge  about human energy, to others - will make you feel  different types of energy on oneself, and divide one internal “fatigue” or “fullness” into specific instrumental components: turned this lever - it worked here, not enough here - turned on this switch.

Esoteric component - will provide additional tools for managing all types of energy. Often, these methods are faster than “introducing practical rituals”, although they do not cancel them. In other cases, esotericism will simply give what is difficult to find in the material world.

In any case, I am sure that this training will be useful to the vast majority of my subscribers.

Life at full power. Energy management is the key to high performance, health and happiness

Foreword

The medicine for downshifting

Many have been waiting for this book for a long time. They waited, not yet suspecting its existence, title and authors. They waited, leaving the office with a greenish face, desoldering themselves in the morning with a liter of coffee, not finding the strength to take on the next priority task, fighting depression and gloom.

And finally they waited. There were experts who convincingly, comprehensively and practically answered the question of how to manage the level of personal energy. Moreover, in various aspects - physical, intellectual, spiritual ... What is especially valuable is the practitioners who trained the leading American athletes, FBI special forces and top managers of Fortune 500 companies.

Admit it, reader, when you came across another article on downshifting, you probably had the thought: “Maybe I should drop everything and wave somewhere to Goa or the hut in the Siberian taiga? ..” The desire to drop everything and send everyone to any of the brief and succinct Russian words is a sure sign of a lack of energy.

The problem of energy management is one of the key in self-management. One of the participants in the Russian Time-Management Community at one time came up with the formula for "T1ME" -management - from the words "time, information, money, energy": "time, information, money, energy." Each of these four resources is critical to personal effectiveness, success, and development. And if there is a lot of literature on managing time, money and information, then there was a clear gap in the field of energy management. Which finally started to fill up.

In many ways, of course, one can argue with the authors. Undoubtedly, they, like many Western experts, tend to absolutize their approach, rigidly contrast it with the “old paradigms” (for which it is actually not a denial, but an organic continuation and development). But this does not detract from the main advantages of the book - relevance, simplicity, adaptability.

Read, keep up with everything and fill your Time with Energy!

Part one

Full power driving forces

1. At full power

The most precious resource is energy, not time.

We live in the digital age. We race at full speed, our rhythms accelerate, our days are cut into bytes and bits. We prefer breadth to depth and quick response to thoughtful decisions. We glide over the surface, falling into dozens of places for several minutes, but without stopping anywhere for long. We fly through life without pausing to think about who we really want to become. We are in touch, but we are disconnected.

Most of us are simply trying to do our best. When demands exceed our capabilities, we make decisions that help break through the web of problems, but devour our time. We sleep little, eat on the go, spur ourselves on caffeine and soothe with alcohol and sleeping pills. Faced with unrelenting demands at work, we become irritable, our attention is easily scattered. After a long working day, we return home fully exhausted and perceive the family not as a source of joy and recovery, but as another problem.

We surrounded ourselves with diaries and task lists, handhelds and smartphones, instant messaging systems and “reminders” in computers. We believe that this should help us better manage our time. We are proud of the ability to do several things at once, and demonstrate the willingness to work from dawn to dusk everywhere, like a medal for courage. The term 24/7 describes a world in which work never ends. We use the words “obsession”, “madness” not to describe insanity, but to tell about the past working day. Feeling that time will never be enough, we try to ram as many cases as possible every day. But even the most effective time management does not guarantee that we will have enough energy to do everything planned.

Do you know such situations?

“You are attending an important four-hour meeting, which is not wasted even a second.” But the last two hours you spend the rest of your strength only on fruitless attempts to concentrate;

- You carefully planned all 12 hours of the upcoming working day, but by the middle of it you completely lost energy and became impatient and irritable;

- You are going to spend the evening with the children, but are so distracted by thoughts about work that you cannot understand what they want from you;

- You, of course, remember the anniversary of your wedding (the computer reminded you of this today), but you forgot to buy a bouquet, and you already have no strength to leave the house to celebrate.

Energy, not time, is the main currency of high efficiency. This thought has turned our understanding of what is the driving force of high efficiency for a long time. It has led our clients to revise the principles of managing their own lives - both personal and professional. Everything that we do, from walking with children to communicating with colleagues and making critical decisions, requires energy. This seems obvious, but that is what we most often forget about. Not having the right amount, quality and focus of energy, we endanger any business we undertake.

Each of our thoughts or emotions has energetic consequences - for the worse or for the better. The final assessment of our life is not based on the amount of time we spent on this planet, but on the basis of the energy invested by us at this time. The main idea of \u200b\u200bthis book is quite simple: efficiency, health and happiness are based on skillful energy management.

Of course, there are bad bosses, a toxic working atmosphere, difficult relationships and life crises. However, we can control our energy much more fully and deeper than we imagine. The number of hours in a day is invariable, but the quantity and quality of the energy available to us depends on us. And this is our most valuable resource. The more responsibility we take for the energy we carry into the world, the stronger and more efficient we become. And the more we blame other people and circumstances, the more our energy becomes negative and destructive.

If you could wake up tomorrow with a lot of positive and focused energy that you could invest in your work and family, would it improve your life? If you are a leader or manager, would your positive energy change the work environment around you? If your employees could rely on more of your energy, would the relationship between them change and would it affect the quality of your own services?

Leaders are the energy carriers of an organization — in their companies and families. They inspire or demoralize others - first by how efficiently they manage their own energy, and then by how they mobilize, focus, invest and renew the collective energy of their employees. Skillful energy management, individual and collective, and makes possible what we call achieving full power.

To turn on full power, we must be physically energetic, emotionally involved, mentally focused and united by a common spirit to achieve goals that lie beyond our selfish interests. Work at full capacity begins with a desire to start work earlier in the morning, an equal desire to return home in the evening and draw a clear line between work and home. It means the ability to fully immerse yourself in fulfilling your mission, whether it is solving a creative task, managing a group of employees, spending time with your loved ones or having fun. Working at full capacity implies the need for a fundamental lifestyle change.

Quotes from the book “Life at Full Power. Energy management is the key to high performance, health and happiness. ”Tony Schwartz, Jim Loer

Simply put, the key “muscles” for achieving a positive emotional state are self-confidence, self-control, communication skills and empathy (empathy). Small, supportive “muscles” are patience, openness, trust and pleasure.

The key “muscles” that support optimal mental energy are task thinking, visualization, positive speaking, time management and creativity.

Rituals are a tool for effective energy management to fulfill our mission.
  - Rituals are a means to transform our goals and priorities into action in all areas of our lives.
  - All prominent people rely on positive rituals to control their energy and regulate their behavior.
  - The limitations of conscious will and discipline are based on the fact that all actions that require our self-control turn to a very limited resource.
  “We can compensate for our limited will and discipline by building rituals that quickly become automatic and based on our core values.”
  - The most important rule for creating rituals is to ensure an effective balance between energy expenditure and its restoration in order to achieve full power.
  “The greater the pressure on us and the greater the challenge we face, the more stringent the rituals should be.”
  - Accuracy and concreteness are the main characteristics when creating rituals in the initial period of one to two months.
  “Attempting not to do something quickly depletes our limited will and discipline.”
  In order to achieve changes that will produce long-term results, we must build “serial rituals”, focusing on only one significant change in a given time period.
