Energy Bleeds, Blocks, and Boosts: Unlock Your Energy as a Busy Mom

In Episode 209 of The Secrets of Super Mom Show, host Lori Oberbrockling dives into the importance of managing your energy as a busy mom. She explains how our energy impacts our productivity, happiness, and ability to make decisions. Lori introduces three key concepts: energy bleeds, energy blocks, and energy boosts.Energy Bleeds are activities that drain your energy, often leaving you feeling exhausted even before you start. These tasks can feel overwhelming and depleting, requiring all your focus and willpower.Energy Blocks are tasks that don’t energize you but don’t fully drain you either. They tend to be repetitive or mundane, like certain house chores or work tasks that don’t bring joy but are necessary.Energy Boosts are activities that fill you with joy, motivation, and energy. These can range from spending time with loved ones, engaging in a hobby, exercising, or working in a flow state. Lori explains that by recognizing which activities fall into these categories, you can plan your day to ensure a healthy balance of energy-draining tasks and energy-boosting activities. She encourages listeners to track their time to identify what’s draining and what’s energizing, helping them optimize their days for better productivity and happiness. She also provides actionable tips, such as spreading energy-depleting tasks across multiple days, incorporating energy-boosting activities into those tasks, and finding ways to delegate or eliminate tasks that drain your energy. By strategically managing energy, moms can avoid burnout, increase productivity, and feel better about their daily routines. Lori wraps up by encouraging listeners to intentionally plan their week to balance energy boosts and bleeds, ensuring they conserve energy throughout the day.
