Notice Your Energy BEFORE Making Life Decisions

This week on the podcast, we are looking at the power of energy—from noticing it, to leveraging it for powerful decisions and desired results. If you’ve been feeling drained, overwhelmed, or simply want to create more ease and joy, this episode delivers actionable insights and heartfelt encouragement.

Here are 3 key takeaways.

Noticing Before Deciding: The step between “notice” and “decide” is crucial. Pause, breathe, and evaluate your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual energy BEFORE making decisions. Jumping into action with the wrong energy rarely serves us well.

Aligned Action Over Hustle: Instead of pushing forward while overwhelmed or exhausted, focus on finding aligned energy. Whether it’s rest, journaling, movement, or creative expression, intentionally restore and realign your energy before moving ahead.

Set Sustainable Goals: Give yourself permission to set timelines that truly feel manageable and safe—even if those goals are years away! By planning with ease and patience, you’re more likely to create lasting, vibrant results.

Hey friends, this week on the podcast I'm sharing. The importance of noticing your energy before you make decisions and energy can be mental, emotional, physical, spiritual. So as you're listening to this, take a moment and decide what energy are you in, and is there anything you need to move you closer to the aligned energy that creates the results you want? If you are looking for a place where you can connect with me on a regular basis, head over to school, S-K-O-O-L and join my community. I'll have a link with this podcast. You can also go there from my website, kelly tibbits.com. Welcome to the Live A Vibrant Life podcast. I'm life coach Kelly Kibbitz, and each week I'll be here to encourage and equip you with the tools you need to grow in self-awareness and invest your best energy in your dreams and your purpose. I believe self-awareness changes everything. Let's get started. Hey friends. Today we're talking about energy. Energy is mental, emotional, physical, spiritual. The step between notice and decide is all about your energy. Every day, Saying a psalm or saying a prayer. Notice a seed of a dream in your soul. One of the things I'm realizing is when we get older, it is easier and easier to take all our energy and put it on anything other than ourselves. Holding onto that seed of a dream is incredibly important. I noticed this relationship is hard and this one is easy. I noticed I'm doing a great job with my physical workout and healthy food. Noticing is amazing. Notice how you notice. Are you a verbal processor, are you a journaler? You might not be a journaler, you might need conversations. Do you take pictures and then make art? Take a breath. If we go right from noticing to deciding in the wrong energy, it will not serve you. What's the energy you want to be living in? That's what we want to spend time on Identifying why you're doing what you're doing. Picture your feet in the ground. Rooted and strong and there's abundant, aligned energy. One of the most important things for a mutually flourishing relationship is you have to own your identity and not look for someone else to say it for you. You breathe into them and they breathe into you. Like an infinity sign. Noticing your energy is so important. Breathe into it. Step one is always to breathe. Sometimes that's all we need. A few breaths and we get back to realignment. I'm feeling peaceful. I need a little more power." Notice that. If energy and money are like water, they're flowing resources. Sometimes when you turn on the tap, it's going to be rusty. What you are doing by showing up is keeping the abundance moving through you. 30 minutes to show up and keep the water flowing we get back to realignment. You don't have to turn on the rusty faucet. So you show up and remember. I want to be in powerful, peaceful energy. There's a little gap, not making it mean anything. What do I want to decide? Or I want to show up in powerful, peaceful energy, and that is where I am. So what do I want to decide? Let's go. That's noticing your energy. When we are sharing something with the world, there are people who want to lean into us. There will always be people who do not want what you are selling. Bless them and let them go. They're not your people. We're allowing the slowness of the beginning because that's going to be really healthy. If you learn something here and you share it with somebody else, if you teach something you learned to somebody else, you're deepening your own neural pathway. I want to create a community because I think we can all help each other. I want to be incredibly generous. I love being with other leaders who are generous. I'm an educator, I've made a path so you can move expeditiously. It's in your authority, it's in your agency to decide the time, the place, and the space for you to create results. Where you want to make your decision What do I want to do? When do I want to do it? Where do I want to be? If you woke up this morning and you're physically sick, you're mentally overwhelmed, you're emotionally exhausted, it would not be kind and loving for you to make a decision of adding anything else to a life that's feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, exhausted. What you want is a plan. The plan might be rest for the next four days. Stay in the neutral narrow. Sometimes I need the voice saying what you've done is amazing, and sometimes I just need to remember. Wow. Remember when you didn't even think you could do that, and now you do it with ease. That's incredible. Could have gone this way, but instead it went here. When you are in aligned energy, that's when you want to make decisions. If you're noticing you're not in aligned energy- you're realizing how heavy everything feels. You get emotionally exhausted, a whole bunch of people in a row say things, and you don't take the time to process it. Write yourself a letter from somebody who thinks you're amazing. Your child, your grandmother, your mom, a friend who's like, I can't believe all the incredible things you've done. Write yourself a letter from their point of view. You'll be at awe of what your brain then allows you to remember because it's not judging you. It's coming from this place of love. We're trying to say, how do I stay in aligned energy? We're learning tools. Sometimes you need to dance, sometimes you need to scream. Sometimes you need to journal, sometimes you need to go for a walk. Do the work to get into aligned energy. The big decision today is to make a plan for creating my desired result. Our human brains are trying to keep us safe by not changing anything. If you don't do anything, you actually start to feel terrible. So it's not in your best interest. We have to speak over that human brain. If you knew five years from now something and you could come back in a time machine and tell yourself today, you would be at ease. If you could jump in a time machine right now and head back to March of 2020. And say, don't worry, this thing that seems overwhelming impossible, you'll never get through it. Whatever it was that you were feeling overwhelmed by. If you could jump in a time machine and go back to that 2020 version of you and say, it all works out, and you believed that, it was really you telling you that, and you could rest in that confidence and that peace, that experience would've been different. The best gift you can give yourself when you drop in and check in- What's the number that's far enough out? What if it took five years? What if it took 10 years? Is it possible I could get there in 10 years? What if it took 20 years? Is it possible I could get there in 20 years? What's the number that's far enough out? You're saying, I want to write a book, I want to host a conference. I want to go live on Instagram. Do I believe I could go live on Instagram the next 10 years, I really do. I really think the next 10 years I can do this. I want to just keep bringing that date closer to today, but also until it feels safe. If your goal is to make a certain amount of money, if your goal is to put a course into the world to start a podcast, start with a date that's far enough out that it feels at ease. Have a plan for creating my desired result. 2030, I have written my book, I think by 2035. I've hosted my first live event. I think by 2040 I've created a Facebook community of a hundred people. See if you can start there with something that feels easy. Put the date far enough out that you're not adding stress to your life. Once you've chosen a date, now you want to choose the time, the place, and the space. What are three things that will help me be strong when I'm 75? I think taking supplements is going to help me be strong at 75. My space. I have a little area in my kitchen. All the things are there. I know what time of day I take this, and I know what time of day I take that. I think walking every day is going to help me. Okay. When do I think I'm going to do that? I want to use weights The struggle is I don't currently have the energy. It's not the time. There's time in my day, but the energy match for when my time is available. If I spent Tuesdays and Thursdays for 40 minutes, I think I could move this one goal along. That's what I need to be looking for. If you're trying to write a book and the only time available is when your mental energy is depleted. It's not easy to write the content for your book. What can we move around? Have a plan for creating desired results. Small steps should feel at ease. Let's use the belief that up till today, you've learned what you've needed to learn. You've created results. You are the right person to speak into the lives of the people who are waiting for you to speak. Thank you for joining the Live A Vibrant Life podcast.
