Acknowledge Your Feelings and Seek Support
The first step in managing your energy during grief is to acknowledge and honor your feelings.
Denial, anger, sadness, and other emotions are natural responses, and it’s essential to allow yourself to feel them without judgment.
Reaching out to your support system, whether it’s close friends, family, or professionals, can provide the necessary comfort and understanding to help you through the process.
Hire Professionals and Seek Guidance
Navigating grief can be overwhelming, and sometimes, we need guidance from professionals who specialize in healing and transformation.
As highlighted in the podcast, hiring coaches, therapists, or somatic healers can provide invaluable support in uncovering suppressed emotions and assisting in the healing process.
Their expertise can help you explore patterns, understand your needs, and work towards self-acceptance.
Prioritize Self-Care and Rest
During times of grief, self-care becomes even more crucial.
Taking care of your physical and emotional well-being is essential for managing your energy effectively.
Make sure to prioritize activities that nurture your body and mind, such as maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, engaging in gentle exercise, and getting enough rest. Listening to your body’s needs and giving yourself permission to rest when required is a major emphasis for you to have.
Delegate and Simplify
As high-performing CEOs, we often carry numerous responsibilities on our shoulders.
When navigating grief, it becomes essential to reassess our workload and delegate tasks wherever possible.
Evaluate what can be delegated, deleted, or put on hold temporarily.
By simplifying your workload, you can conserve energy and focus on the aspects of your professional life that require your attention while allowing yourself the space to heal.
Engage in Activities that Bring Joy
Finding moments of joy amidst grief can provide solace and rejuvenate your spirit.
Engage in activities that bring you joy and give you a sense of control.
Whether it’s listening to uplifting music, spending time in nature, pursuing hobbies, or setting personal goals, these activities can provide a positive outlet for your emotions and help you find moments of respite during the healing process.
