Emotional Strength for Mental Wellbeing and Productivity

We all dream of living a life filled with ease, flow, and personal fulfillment. Yet how often do we feel rushed, unmotivated, irritable, or totally unfocused? If we allow the energy from the environment around us to control our emotional state, we are easily derailed. The key to moving from dis-ease to a fulfilled flow state is effectively managing our precious emotional energy! Intrigued? Let me tell you more…

Psychologists and researchers Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz dove into the myth of time management, and determined that it is actually through managing our emotional energy that we find empowerment and aligned productivity. We have all experienced this firsthand. Remember a moment when you were riding a high-frequency wave, full of energy and ready to do big things? Were you feeling happy, free, empowered, loving, or angry, jealous, and insecure? High-vibration emotions dictate our physical and mental states, so you were likely feeling full of positive emotional energy. Engaging with low-frequency patterns like worrying non-stop, perpetual negativity, persistent guilt, and lack of boundaries is a fast-track to draining your emotional energy.

Noticing this relationship between emotional state and productivity is an essential first step in your journey towards long stretches of time in which you are in the zone, feeling flow, fully engaged, and productive.

Keeping yourself in a high-frequency state or bringing yourself back if you’ve slipped away, is an ongoing practice. Fill your emotional cup by doing things that bring you satisfaction and joy, build a circle of uplifting people all around you, create boundaries that honor your needs, and as always: practice mindfulness as you move through life. With these tools at the ready, balance and an abundance of exciting emotions are undoubtedly in your near future.
