Self-regulation practices to maintain high energy level
(Execution Excellence -"Ability to get things done" Series)
In continuation of last week's discussion on how to manage energy levels when things are not going well in the workplace either on a specific day or specified duration, one of the powerful self-regulation practices discussed was "Acceptance." The practice of acceptance will help to realize the reality and move along with the flow rather than fighting and losing energy.
The other methods by which we can maintain our energy level during low-energy situations from my experience are as follows
Looking at the situation from the TIME perspective:
Any low or high-energy situations never last forever. It looks unmanageable during the tough time, but when we look at the event after some time, it seems to be nothing. For example, we were clueless during covid lockdown, and for most of us, that situation was challenging. Looking back now, the situation's intensity seems small after three years.
The point is any good or bad situation does not last forever, and from a time perspective, any event becomes insignificant from a longer time perspective.
That is why philosophically, there is a saying This too shall pass.
Create a space for your inner comfort :
We need to enhance our circle of people, places, or activities which can boost our energy level and make us comfortable when we are down in a workplace situation.
For example, one of my friends was not adequately recognized in his organization for a long time, and others perceived it as an injustice to him. However, he never bothered about that recognition and constantly engaged in charity work and volunteering in NGO activities. I realized he was more comfortable in the workplace because he had other activities to compensate for his energy level.
At least we need to have some trusted people in our circle( could be spouses or friends or mentors) with whom we can share everything by which we can feel comfortable.
The key point is that we need to find a space to be comfortable in low-energy situations.
There could be some other self-regulation practices each one can find to manage the low energy situations
The idea of self-regulation practice is to manage any situation with a balanced approach so that our energy level will be high at the workplace to get things done.
Have a great week ahead!
