YOU CAN LEARN TO SHIFT YOURS

You can learn to shift your energy by better understanding it.

The following is based on an assessment called the Energy Leadership IndexTM.  Its premise is that once you understand how you’re using your energy, you can learn to quickly shift it to a “higher frequency” – in other words, to a state of being that serves you better in the moment.

The Energy Leadership IndexTM breaks your energetic expression (how you’re interacting with your environment at any given moment) down into seven different levels of energy with one being the lowest (most depleting) and seven being the highest (most exhilarating or free from burden). We all experience these each of these every day.  

They are most easily recognized by using a win/lose statement.

LEVEL ONE – I lose

This is victim energy, when we are feeling at the mercy of circumstances outside of our control. 

LEVEL TWO – You lose

The energy of anger and blame directed either outwardly or at oneself.

It’s completely normal and natural to experience energy levels one and two. The goal is to be able to shift out of them when they no longer serve you. While no energy is either good or bad, these \ never build anything useful, they are always depleting.

LEVEL THREE – I’m not sure what to do – but I really need to win here – I need to make things feel ok.

This is coping energy and while it can feel like treading water if you are here too often, it is far less exhausting than levels one and two.

LEVEL FOUR – You Win

This is the energy of service.  Sometimes it’s easiest to move out of victim or blame energy by helping others.

LEVEL FIVE – Win/Win

The energy of opportunity is combination of coping and service.  As you work to find win/win scenarios, energy builds.

LEVEL SIX – What? Win?

At level six, we’re so busy creating, innovating, doing, that we completely forget about winning and losing, about expectation, or about good and bad.  We all do our best work when we are at this level of energy.

LEVEL SEVEN – Winning and losing are illusions

This is a more spiritual place.  It is an energy of peace, connection and of love.

Once you recognize yourself at each of these levels of energy, it’s far easier to choose behaviors that are aligned with the kind of energy that serves you best in any given moment.
