Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you. Oprah Winfrey, American media executive, actress, talk show host, philanthropist.
With nineteen grandchildren and four great-grands, I start my Christmas shopping early. I’ve also started party planning, making treats for the freezer, and decorating ideas. ’Tis the season!
I learned long ago that it is more important for me to manage my energy than it is my time. We all have 24 hours in a day but energy….there’s the rub. As I’ve aged, my energy has declined so I must use it well. I still wake up most mornings raring to go but the exuberance doesn’t last. If you are in the throes of grief, expect lower than usual energy. Notice when you are most energized and use the time well. Even a few minutes can yield big results when you’re working on all four cylinders and love what you’re doing.
Affirmation: I manage my energy well.
Coaching questions: What’s your best time of the day? What energizes you? What do you need to do now to manage your time and energy during this busy season?
Life after losing a mother 
I am a morning person since I’ve gotten older, so my best “focus” time is in the morning, after a good cup of tea. I too, run out of steam mid-day, but get a second boost late at night, or even in the middle of the night.

I never get nighttime boost. Gives you some extra hours. Good for you.
