It took me all of five minutes of talking with my sister (free therapy) to realize that my energy was low - hello! Aren't I the one who talks incessantly about personal energy management? The interesting part of it all is that I labeled my low energy "discouragement."

I see this a lot with clients too. It is as if we need to find a cause for why we're feeling low when sometimes the cause is that we're low! Funny. I took the morning off yesterday to write and now I feel back to my optimistic, energized self.
