One Positive Action

Do an Energy Check-In

We’re all running on some kind of battery, right? Some days it’s fully charged and buzzing, and other days it’s barely limping along. But here’s the thing, most of us don’t even stop to notice where we’re at until we’re totally fried. That’s where the energy check-in comes in. It’s simple: just pause and ask yourself, “What’s the vibe today?” Calm? Restless? Totally drained? Whatever it is, just name it without judgment.

Once you’ve clocked how you’re feeling, take the next step and actually adjust. If you’re calm and steady, lean into something productive, something that requires focus. If you’re restless, maybe it’s time to move: stretch, pace, go for a quick walk, whatever lets you burn some of that energy off. And if you’re running on fumes? Be kind to yourself. You don’t have to tackle the world when your tank is empty. Pick something restorative instead, like a nap or even just sitting quietly for five minutes.

This isn’t about overhauling your entire schedule or obsessing over how you feel every second of the day. It’s about recognizing that your energy isn’t some endless resource. If you can sync what you’re doing with how you’re feeling, even in small ways, it can make a massive difference.

So, give it a try. Take a beat, check in, and see what your body and brain are trying to tell you. Trust me, they’re probably smarter than the endless to-do list you’re running in your head.
