BLUF
- The Reality: Draining days happen when things out of your zone of genius fill your plate...instead of work that fills your cup
- The Action Step: When you're drained, do a quick brain dump of what you did that day, so you can recognize what's zapping your energy
BLUF = Bottom Line Up Front
I had one of those "Mondayest" Mondays this week.
It was kind of a free day. Filled mostly with administrative tasks—end-of-year prep, follow-ups, and calendar management.
You'd think a "free" day to button things up would be life-giving. But by the middle of the day, I was drained. (So I made today's video, then had a nap!)
Contrast that with last week: I spent an entire 9-hour day onsite with a client teaching, connecting, and solving problems. I was "on" from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM...yet walked away energized. On fire.
So what's going on?

It's the alignment that's the problem. Not the workload.
When we do work that is cup-filling and aligned with who we are, it fuels us. But when our days are consumed by things out of alignment, everything feels heavier, clunkier, and more draining.
So whenever your day is feeling exhausting, take a quick assessment of what your day has consisted of.
Recognizing what is zapping your lifeforce is the first step in fixing it.
With the holiday, we only have about 8 trule productive weeks left in the 4th quarter.
Don't spend the rest of the year pushing through on empty. Get aligned and make these remaining weeks count.
Love doing life with you,
Dawn
