7 Levels of Energy 

Ever wondered what we mean we we refer to your "energy levels?" Or do you need a refresher on just what they are?

Catabolic Energy is characterized by destructive, contracting, and stressful energy

• It’s the kind of energy that’s present when you feel that you “have to” finish this project on time or when you “should” have that difficult conversation with your colleague.
• Catabolic energy is the grit-your-teeth, get-it-out-the-way, push-through-it kind of energy that helps you get the job done.
• It can also be characterized by an apathetic, “low-energy” vibe that has you avoiding unpleasant work or people. 

Anabolic Energy is creative, expanding, and fueling energy

• At work, it shows up as enjoyment of the process - even when it’s challenging. It is present in teams where collaboration, commitment, belief in one another, and synergy are the norm. 
• At home, it shows up when you are spending treasured time with someone you love, fully present and fully engaged. It’s the kind of energy you experience when you are in a flow state: everything feels effortless and you’re operating at your highest potential. When anabolic energy is present, there is a sense of motivation, clarity, and forward movement. 

Once you become aware of your energy in any given situation, you can begin to access the energy desired to proceed.

So, when overwhelm, fear, and stress hit you like a wave, you don't have to let them run the ship. You can navigate through them to lessen their impact on your energy.
