Truth in this post for sure. It’s important also to be authentic with the energy. Not energy for trying to show you have energy. If someone isn’t naturally energetic, it could be misinterpreted if s/he comes in yelling and trying to be Tony Robins. Ha!

I’m trying to take my energy level up a couple of notches by conscious intention… but not over the edge all at once. I’m also doing things to increase my energy (and metabolism) like running and biking. That way I’m getting all the help I can. Hope to see and feel a difference in the near future.

This is good. I often overlook the importance of it. It’s so easy for me to be snarky and slightly negative. If I find others with this natural tendency, it’s pretty tempting to just be cynical together. I forget that it’s the job of a leader to inspire, to encourage, to spur on. Thanks for the reminder.

I am not a born leader, but every now and then I find myself in a situation where I must take the stand and become one. By nature I am very passive,and sometimes it can be difficult for me to be assertive and competitively aggressive. But for the most part, I know my body and I know my limits. Do you have any advice on learning how to be more assertive?

It's so true,you have to be energetic and have to close yourself for those who are negative.They will drag you down.
And sport dayley, it's a must.Think positive.

I think you do the best you can. If it becomes too much and begins to impact you, you make have to make the tough call to get yourself out of the situation.

It definitely does. People avoid doing this, because they don't want to be false or phony. But it is a huge secret to change. I always think of it first in the context of marriage. If I act loving, even if I don't feel loving, it's healthy. If I said I feel loving that would be false.

Feelings often follow the action not the other way around.

Absolutely. I am in my 50s, too, and I constantly remind myself that I am choosing the quality of life I will be having in my 60s and 70s with the choices I am making now.

Interesting that it's all the same stuff we've heard and read a thousand times. It's common sense, yet we defy the logic by convincing ourselves of this ever-increasing need to perform, produce, rush, crunch, etc. etc. and in the process lose these basics because of all the running around and busyness. I just turned fifty, and realized I feel more like 60 and desperately need to take control of the quality of my life if I want to keep producing for another 20 or 30 years. The company won't fall apart if I come in at 8 instead of 7:00 am. No one will get angry if I choose to say no to that evening invitation. I can take a day off here and there. And the diet? Well, that's a pain in the neck but I am doing it anyways.

This couldn't have come at a better time. I'm down right…troubled over my job at the moment and I'm probably one of the negative people there. I'd like to think that I'm positive all the time, but when I see no hope at the end of the tunnel…well it's hard for me to be positive.

I always thought energy and drive was something people were born with. Because of my background I was emotionally dead: probably a protecting mechanism that helped me survive my mother's alcoholism. Only in the past year have I learned that I can become energectic and cause drive to boil from the inside.

Thank you for this advice and for the link to your other post. It is good to see change in others and to know I can also change.

You can be more energetic by simply acting more energetic. Now that is an excellent thought, it surprises me how true this is. It seems this ‘theory’ applies in other parts of life as well.

While I'm not in a position of leadership yet it is something I attain to and really appreciate your advice.

I'm 3 for 5 on your list as I need to eat healthier and get more sleep. The day gets so busy and packed with stuff that I rarely get 5 hours of sleep during the week and my eating habits are best described as impulsive.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Great information Mike. I need to find out where that group of people hang out at. I think I have been hanging with the wrong crowd too long

Yes! I so agree! I am a very energetic person. I LOVE making people smile and laugh. It just comes natural. Not being arrogant, but I have people always tell me I make them feel young, and they love seeing my smile all the time. It's a compliment. And I'll surely accept it. :D

All good things but what if the "negative people" are on the team. You can not avoid them. You may not have the ability to replace them? then what? I only bring this up because I am in this spot.
