Welcome to the Live Less Afraid podcast, where your host Michele Jones explores what makes us happy and what we waste emotional energy on. Today I will walk you through a couple of exercises to help you discover how and why we waste energy on things beyond our control or that do not serve any purpose in our lives. I’ll also share how these impact our decisions to live in joy and happiness, why we need to discover those things, and how to start doing the work to get there. Here are a few examples of ways we waste energy instead of focusing on what makes us happy and doing that. 1. Dwelling on the past: Spending too much time thinking about the mistakes we made or the things have done differently in the past can be a huge emotional drain. It's important to learn from the past but not get stuck in it. 2. Comparing ourselves to others: Constantly comparing ourselves to others can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. It's important to focus on our own journey and progress, rather than constantly looking at what others are doing. 3. Worrying about the future: While it's important to plan for the future, worrying too much about what may or may not happen can be exhausting and counterproductive. It's important to focus on the present moment and take things one step at a time. 4. Holding grudges: Holding onto grudges and negative feelings towards others can consume a lot of emotional energy and prevent us from moving forward. It's important to practice forgiveness and let go of any negativity that's weighing us down. 5. Overthinking: Overanalyzing situations and trying to anticipate every possible outcome can be mentally exhausting. It's important to trust our instincts and not get bogged down in endless analysis. By being aware of these emotional energy drains, we can work towards minimizing their impact on our lives and focusing our energy on things that truly matter. Trust that everything works out for you, work on your mindset, and shift your thoughts to things that serve us.
