Catabolic Energy ~<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\tCatabolic energy is destructive, draining, and stressful on our bodies, our emotions, and our mental capacity. Catabolic energy is crucial in life-threatening situations because it\u2019s the energy that allows us to fight, flee, or freeze. Catabolic emotions include guilt, shame, fear, anxiety, worry, hostility, resentment, frustration, loathing, condemnation, blame, and judgment, to name a few. Catabolic emotions feel hard, and challenging. They create stress hormones that deplete us of energy, lower our immune system, and impede the optimal function of our mind and body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anabolic Energy ~<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\tAnabolic energy is constructive, healing, fueling, and growth-oriented. Anabolic energy strengthens and energizes us with long-term use. Anabolic energy includes emotions such as love, forgiveness, compassion, peace, joy, passion, and so many more. Anabolic emotions feel good. They cause our brain to create feel-good hormones, and they naturally promote healing, and wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have Seven Levels of Energy Available<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
According to Bruce Schneider,* there are seven levels of energy presentation, each made up of varying degrees of catabolic and anabolic energies. In the chart below, we see that the highest levels of energy are anabolic and the lowest levels are catabolic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So while every energy level has both advantages and disadvantages, it correlates that the more time we spend in those higher vibrations, the more energy we have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nobody is just one energy level all the time. We each have a unique energy profile made up of all seven levels with primary and secondary levels that we choose to use most of the time under typical circumstances. It should come as no surprise that our energy profile changes under stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Energy Overview<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Below is a brief look at the seven levels of energy, and possible thoughts that someone might be thinking about pandemic circumstances in each level. If you would like to learn more about these concepts, check out Bruce Schneider\u2019s book, Energy Leadership<\/a>, <\/em>or contact an iPEC certified energy coach<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the most catabolic energy level, so we end up with the least amount of energy left to \u201cspend\u201d on anything.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Core Emotions –<\/strong> apathy, shame, guilt, anxiety, self-doubt, worry, fear, embarrassment, hopelessness, depression<\/p>\n\n\n\n Possible Thoughts about the pandemic –<\/strong> Core Emotions –<\/strong> anger, greed, resentment, blame, judgment, antagonism, struggle, frustration, irritation, hatred, pride<\/p>\n\n\n\n Possible Thoughts about the pandemic –<\/strong> Core Emotions –<\/strong> forgiveness, rationalization, justification, tolerance, relief<\/p>\n\n\n\n Possible Thoughts about the pandemic –<\/strong> Core Emotions –<\/strong> compassion, caring, generosity, gratitude, love<\/p>\n\n\n\n Possible Thoughts about the pandemic –<\/strong> Core Emotions –<\/strong> peace, harmony, stability<\/p>\n\n\n\n Possible Thoughts about the pandemic –<\/strong> Core Emotions –<\/strong> joy, hope, eagerness<\/p>\n\n\n\n Possible Thoughts about the pandemic –<\/strong> We dip into this level of energy during meditation, and spiritual connection. For most of us, it\u2019s a level where we recharge our batteries, not a permanent place from which to live.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Core Emotions –<\/strong> absolute passion, unconditional love, ecstasy<\/p>\n\n\n\n Possible Thoughts do NOT include the pandemic –<\/strong> Try leaning into the thoughts for each energy level above. We can clearly feel the difference in vibration, the difference in emotion, the difference in energy that comes at each energy level. None of the levels is bad or good.Which one feels the way you want to feel?<\/strong> The Energy Leadership Index (ELI) assessment is a tool that measures our unique energy profile. Through a series of 84 questions, the ELI reveals the percentage of each of the energy levels you experience under \u201cnormal\u201d circumstances, and also how your energy shows up under stress. Your Average Resonating Level of Energy (A.R.L.) represents your average energy presentation, under normal circumstances and under stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n With the awareness and insights gained through the ELI & the ELI explanation session that follows, clients discover opportunities to align energy with their own goals, boost creativity, elevate communications, and increase overall satisfaction in any aspect of their lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once a person identifies their personal energy drains, they can choose to make adjustments that allow them to overcome their blocks, reclaim that energy, and focus it on what\u2019s really important to them. A study by the International Coach Federation shows that clients who apply this knowledge with the help of a certified professional coach begin to see sustainable transformations in health & wellness, relationships, confidence, finances, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every change begins with awareness of what is. If you are interested in becoming aware of your current energy patterns, I would LOVE to chat with you! I can schedule your ELI assessment to get you started on your path toward a more energized life! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Higher levels of satisfaction await.

I am very aware of all that could go wrong and I have to be on guard against it.
Why isn\u2019t the government doing more?
Why did they wait so long to act?
Why don\u2019t people act right and follow orders?
Why should I follow orders?
They are NOT going to tell me what to do.
Why is this so hard?
How can I profit from this?
What\u2019s in this for me?
I\u2019m doing everything I am supposed to and I\u2019ll probably get sick because someone else didn\u2019t do what they were supposed to!
This is the government\u2019s fault.
This is China\u2019s fault.

What if the virus is here to help us?
This is the perfect time to take some online classes and change careers.
This is a great opportunity for each of us to examine where we are, and what we want to create next!
How wonderful that we are finding innovative ways to work from home.
This can lead to reduced traffic in the long run.
It\u2019s the perfect opportunity to identify weak spots in our systems, and create solutions to strengthen them.
I can\u2019t work where I was getting my income, so I am going to use my gifts to create other revenue streams.
