Why Energy Follows Your Attention
Most people assume energy is physical.
They think it comes from sleep, food, and exercise. And while those things matter, they’re missing something even bigger:
Where you put your attention shapes your energy.
Because what you focus on—good or bad, exciting or draining—determines how you feel.
The Hidden Cost of Scattered Focus
Ever notice how spending an hour on something meaningful leaves you feeling energized, while an hour of mindless scrolling leaves you exhausted?
That’s not an accident.
• Focusing on problems drains you.
• Focusing on possibilities fuels you.
• Multitasking scatters your energy.
• Deep work channels it.
It’s not just about what you do—it’s about how engaged you are when you do it.
When your focus is sharp, your energy is, too.
The Simple Shift That Changes Everything
If your energy is low, don’t just ask, “How can I get more rest?”
Ask, “Where is my attention going?”
Try this:
1️⃣ At the start of your day, pick one thing to focus on deeply.
2️⃣ Remove distractions—even for 20 minutes.
3️⃣ At the end of the day, reflect: What gave me energy today? What stole it?
Your energy isn’t just about what you eat or how much you sleep.
It’s about what you give your mind to.
Energy is a Choice
Some people spend their days scattered, reacting, and wondering why they’re always drained.
Others choose where to put their attention—and watch their energy rise.
And the ones who do? They don’t just feel better.
They move faster, create more, and stay energized long after everyone else burns out.
Because energy isn’t just something you have.
It’s something you protect.
