Off the Cuff – How Full is Your Tank?

Knowing your fuel gauge is critical. We aren’t like Teslas or other electric vehicles that run on 100% power…until you are out of fuel. As people, when we are getting low on “fuel” we begin to see a drop in performance.

Think about it. When we are 80% full or more, we are performing at our optimal levels. We smile, engage well with others, clarity and energy are high, we are patient, optimistic, enthused, organized, fun to be around, etc.

When we are about 30% or less, the effects are more noticeable and negative. We tend to be more agitated, worried, depressed, moody, mean, we feel stressed, overwhelmed, apathetic, tired and exhausted. If we are flat on empty, the wheels start to come off and we are in some serious trouble.
We need to start looking for a filling station somehow when our gauge starts getting below 60-70%.

The filling station? Maybe a walk. Maybe taking a day off. Playing with the dog. Meeting with friends. Hobbies. Vacations. Nature. Religion. Maybe getting some professional help. Whatever floats your boat.

If you find yourself low on fuel, admit it. Own it. Everyone gets low at times. Get re-filled as soon as you can.
Here I am, recommending self-help…to you. Calling the kettle black. I have allowed myself to get awfully low on fuel at times. Trying to “fake it till I make it.”

Moreso than ever, I appreciate every dollar you have spent with us. We promise…we will do everything in our power to earn more of your trust going forward. Drop me a line, an email or call if I can be of any help.
