The document discusses the importance of taking care of your personal energy levels before assisting others. It recommends becoming aware of what activities relax, energize, and drain you, then making changes to your schedule to incorporate more of the energy-giving activities and reduce energy-depleting ones. The AWE method is presented: A for awareness of your energy levels, W for working to implement changes, and E to evaluate the effects of those changes on your productivity and energy. Maintaining self-care over the long term is key to continued success. Coaching support is offered to help achieve balance in life.

1. Fill Your Own Cup First

2. Me first!
You cannot be more productive or organized
than your personal energy allows. We’ve all
heard about putting on our oxygen masks first,
and then assisting others. How many times
have you said, or heard, “fill your cup up so you
can fill the cup up of others”?

3. Do you have a systematic, deliberate way of ensuring
that your personal energy level stays high?
Try implementing the steps of A.W.E. to create
change!

4. It pays to know
A – Awareness W – Work E - Evaluate
• What activities relax you?
• What activities energize you?
• What activities drain you?

5. What relaxes you?
Make a list of what kinds of things relax you.
Schedule time in your calendar to:
• Meditate
• Stare at the sky
• Garden
• Read
• Listen to calming music
• Have a massage or steam

6. What energizes you?
Make a list of what kinds of things lift you up, and
create a plan to keep your energy levels high. Schedule
time in your calendar to:
• Work out
• Practice yoga
• Dance
• Sing
• Run
• Play with a child or pet

7. What drains you?
What specific things drain your energy? What do you
dislike doing?
• Paperwork
• Housework
• Marketing your business
• Managing your social media

8. A – Awareness W – Work E - Evaluate
Choose one energy giving activity to add to your
schedule and one energy depleting activity to
delete from your schedule.

9. Follow through!
How are you going to make sure you follow
through? The easiest thing to “bump” from our
schedules is time spent on ourselves.
Plan for this.

10. Now what?
A – Awareness W – Work E - Evaluate
• Check your energy and productivity levels
periodically throughout the day and the
week.
• What’s working that you want to continue to
implement?
• Where can you make some adjustments for
even bigger results?

11. Now what?
Now move past that
awareness into
deliberate, focused
action to ensure your
cup remains full.

12. Maintain
Remember - increasing your
energy levels and reserves is
a process. Start with ONE
activity. Making small
consistent changes is key to
long term success.

13. Would you like some support with your goals?
With a little coaching, you can easily achieve the
perfect balance between your business and
personal lives. You can develop a framework
and a system that allows you to put first things
first -and live a life of purpose, accomplishment,
and fun. You can turn ideas into action!
