Day 10: Your Energy
Relate Like Future You — Today Challenge
Goal of the Day
Identify one energy drain to reduce and one energy source to strengthen.
Inspiration for the Day
National Vision Board Day is about getting clear on what you want and keeping it in view. National Cut Your Energy Cost Day is about reducing what drains your resources. Today we use both to look at where your energy is going, keep what supports your future, and cut back on what pulls you off track.
Insight
Energy is a real resource, and your Future Self treats it that way. When you notice what drains you and what restores you, you can protect your progress from burnout. Small changes in how you spend energy can make your goals feel doable again.
