Today’s skill for self leadership is:  VISION

Let’s look at the biggest picture, at least for each one of us,  namely your personal life vision.

We’ve come to number 3 of most important skills of leading yourself: ENERGY

Energy is what I’m lacking today, because of a serious cold.

What depletes your energy level?

Enough about that!

What are some good energy boosters?

For me again that would be nature, daylight, sitting outside our cabin in the mountains listening to silence, visiting a book store, having good conversations about meaningful topics, but also being silent together, kayaking, doing a round of qigong which is very much a dynamic meditation practice, listening to music ...

and on days like these – plenty of rest and sleep.

What gives you more energy?    

Enjoy your weekend and make sure to fill your batteries with good energy!
