Genius Tool: The Low-Energy Options List

1/18/2023

 
Everyday is different. #understatement #amiright
I want you to
1. Know about and 
2. Consider adopting 

Your own version of a Low Energy List.

What is that? Essentially, it’s pre-thinking for your future self who may not have the energy, drive, or enthusiasm you do on a more-regular day. This is a helpful little list of small tasks or ideas for Future-YOU who may be sick, who’s been blindsided by lots of feelings, or who is experiencing some low-grade resistance when “nothing sounds good”.
It doesn’t need to be a long list. Heck, start with a sticky note. Sure, you can use a journal page and add to it too. 
​

Small tasks that don’t take a lot of brain power are ideal. These are things you could do, but don’t have to do. ​
Picture
Here are a few of mine: 
  • Get some fresh air, either step outside or take a 5 minute walk
  • Splash water on my face
  • Wipe kitchen counter
  • Put 3 things away
  • Take a shower
  • Brush my teeth
  • Find one thing to donate or that you are finished with
  • Wash or chop some veggies while watching tv or listening to music
  • Drink a full glass of water while staring out the window
  • Send a text image or short message to one person
  • Change or wash pillowcase only (the rest of the bed can feel overwhelming in low energy, and the pillowcase is enough for now)

​There’s also a For Business version of this list. Yup. And I use that one too.


Feeling better can feel like its own job. Having a little list of pre-thought-out options is a gift. Plus, if you can allow yourself to look at it, and even do 1-2 things, you can create a little bit of momentum and shift some energy as well. Small things are enough on tough, sick, or low-energy days.
