Recharging Your Batteries

I love coaching days. Coaching is the "technical" part of the work I do. It's how I serve my community -- people in the world.

In every training session I ever do -- another "technical" part of my business -- I educate participants on 3 UNIQUE ABILITIES.

These are not so much the 3 things we do better than everyone else, but the 3 things we do really, really well, and the "doing" them recharges our batteries.

That means that it's in executing these 3 Unique Abilities that helps us "Love what we do and do what we Love." (Strategy #7)

And, today being one of my coaching days, means that I've been working all day long and feeling more and more energized as the day progressed. How exciting is that?!!!

What are your 3 Unique Abilities? Even if you're an employee, what are the 3 things in life that really charge you?

How much time do you invest in recharging your batteries in each week? Days off don't equal recharged batteries. I was an employee for a long time. I know what weekends are like. They're pretty much the same for all of us ... and they're typically always busy, but not typically full of events to recharge us if we have children at home.

Sleep isn't necessarily the "recharge" either. Yes, we need sleep, but we need fun more than we need sleep. If you've ever heard of advice for dealing with a colicky baby you'll likely remember hearing that as tired as the new Moms are, sleep isn't as powerful for them as is "getting out of the house without the baby."

Thinking about my 3 Unique Abilities as I write this blog, I realize that I need to focus a whole lot more on the 3rd one ... another activity that feeds my business, as well as my soul. I love doing presentations, like at dinner meetings. So that's what we're going to focus a whole lot more energy on, is getting me out there so I can feed my soul even more!

If you belong to an association that has meetings, to which speakers are invited, let us know. I'd love to speak at your Association soon.

Now, back to another coaching session ... to get me charged up even more for the rest of the week!
