Energy Zappers

Frustrated with those distractions and Energy Zappers (EZs)?

What does one do about them?

Well first and foremost you MUST identify what they are for you. They are different for each of us, but they have the same effect, they take the good energy out of us.

The distractions are little/manageable things.....they are fairly easy to get rid of. But the EZs, those can be another story. They are more serious and they carry more weight in the "getting us off our direct path to success" journey.

Once you've identified the distractions and Energy Zappers, make a firm commitment to dump AS MANY AS YOU CAN. Do it immediately. Either do 'em (clean a closet, make a call) or dump 'em (move 'em out). Just by reducing some of the distraction drag...you'll feel lighter and more easy on your path.

With the EZs, set some boundaries, set limits, have conversations with them and be aware of what the tradeoff is for you in not removing them. These take more time, and they may take some help - call a friend or work with a coach to assist you in making the changes in your world.

There's a great tool I've been working with lately from Mark Joyner, the founder of Simpleology (the sale is fairly hardcore, but I swear, the free software is tremendous - so get over it!) It is a web-based program that is great for helping to get clarity around what you want, why you want it, how to get it and how to keep yourself VERY focused so that you are using your good energy to achieve what you want. There's a wonderful 20 part online course that goes with the software. Don't skip it, it's clever and fun.

AND it helps with dumping the distractions and limiting the EZs, because you quickly become aware of how you are spending your time and where you are putting your focus.

Give it a whirl if you are so inclined and let us know what you think!

Onward......
