It’s all about generating awareness of what you’re tracking. Things that we are aware of, all of the sudden, become changeable. We can take action on them. Whether that’s steps, heart rate variability (HRV), or whatever. In other words, something.
When you stopped using it, your actual movement likely went down. That's because you were no longer aware of it. You were no longer as focused on it.
And as much as it goes for our outer energy, it goes for our inner energy as well, because it all comes back to awareness.
With the inner energy and mindset side, often the concepts can get very abstract. I mean, who really has a good definition for ‘mindset?’ It’s such an intangible thing to think about. So, in order to improve it, we should first bring something tangible to it that we can measure and become aware of it.
That's why with our Own It clients, my partner and I have them focus on the seven levels of energy. When you can identify where your energy is on a scale of 1-7, you can make connections between certain thoughts, feelings, actions, and beliefs, and your level of energy.
IN OTHER WORDS, BRINGING AWARENESS TO YOUR MINDSET.
When you actually measure it, that’s where the beauty of it comes in. You can measure where you resonate, what level of energy you’re at. From that awareness, you can make action plans. I can say, “Okay, maybe in that situation I was frustrated and I showed up at a level two
energy but didn’t feel good for me.” Obviously, the goal is to feel better and vibrate at a higher energy level.
So, what can you do? When you measure your energy level, you bring awareness to it, and you can then use that information and take action and make change.
In each of our lives, there’s something we want to change. Whether it’s weight loss, more energy, better relationships, the only way to create long-term sustainable change is to become aware of it. The way to become aware of it is through tracking and measuring. So ask yourself:
What is it you’re trying to change?
Spend some time thinking about that. Once you’re clear on one change you’re trying to make, think about what you can measure and track to bring awareness to that. Just track something; the magic of awareness is half the battle.
