Of course we need financial reserves… but that’s not all we need to be successful.
Today’s post is about Energy Reserves. Yes, you can build reserves of energy, too.
But do you? If you’ve ever owned a dog, you know that they rest every chance they get, so they’re ‘ready to go’ at all times. You can apply the same concepts to your life. Here are some examples:
Getting enough sleep. By planning for enough sleep, and getting it, you’ll add energy to your day.
Exercising. Building exercise into your daily routine will help you stay fit and add to your energy reserves. A brisk mid day walk can do wonders for a tired mind.
Eating healthy foods. Your body needs fuel to function. When you put the right fuel into that machine, it puts out the right kind of energy.
So how do you build reserves? The first step is for you to embrace the concept of reserving as a necessary one. Just like your financial planner will challenge you to regularly save so you can build your financial reserves, you can achieve these other reserves by committing to the concept and practice. So, the first step is to embrace the concept as a necessary one, then adopt the mindset that you WILL change your practices to build more reserves. And just as with building financial reserves, this takes planning and discipline.
Time for a “reserve check.” Are you building the energy reserves you need?
