Protecting Your Energy: A Practical Guide for Business Owners

Written by Erin Aquin | Feb 13, 2025 2:50:22 PM

As entrepreneurs following our deeper purpose, we know that energy is more than just stamina—it's the foundation of our ability to serve and create meaningful impact. That is why we teach our clients to protect their energy, so your business and life can flourish simultaneously.

If this resonates with you, you're going to love today's post, as well as this week's podcast, which is all about protecting your energy. You can listen to that here.

Why Energy Management Matters

Think of your energy like an inner flame that powers your work in the world. Small drains on it can dim this light over time, and if you're not mindfully tending to your inner flame, you'll find yourself unable to shine as brightly as your vision requires. This isn't just about productivity—it's about maintaining your capacity to bring your gifts to the world.

Signs Your Energy Needs Protection

When you find yourself:

  • Feeling resentful towards people in your life
  • Saying “yes” without consulting your inner wisdom
  • Making choices that quickly feel misaligned with your deeper values
  • Experiencing fatigue that basic self-care isn’t fixing

... you may need to focus more on protecting your energy.

Three Steps to Better Energy Management

1. Connect with Your Superabound Vision

Get clear on what matters most in your business and life. When anything comes up that you might spend energy on, check in to see if it will bring you closer to your Vision or if it is aligned with your values. If something takes energy and doesn’t take you closer to your next milestone, it is likely going to deplete rather than nurture your energy.

2. Practice the Sacred Pause

Create space between requests and your response. A simple "I'll reflect on this and get back to you by [specific time]" allows you a chance to reflect and let both your calendar and your intuition guide your decisions about where your energy goes.

3. Build Your Personal Filter

Before letting anything take up real estate in your heart, mind or on your calendar check in with yourself:

  • Is this where I want to direct my energy right now?
  • Is this taking me closer or further from my next lantern?
  • Will this nourish or deplete my inner resources?

The Power of Superabound Support

Creating a strong Personal Filter is not something you can do once and never think about again—it takes regular maintenance and is much easier with the warmth and support of an expert in this kind of work. Whether through coaching, mentorship, or conscious community like the one we have waiting for you inside The Superabound Collective, having others to reflect with helps you stay true to the wisdom of your energy.

Your Next Step

Your ability to realize your Superabound Vision springs from a well-tended inner flame. This week, notice one thing that consistently dims your energy and apply your Personal Filter using the prompts above.
