How to prevent our spiritual energy levels from decreasing

Throughout the day, there are many external and internal factors that can affect energy levels, decreasing our productivity and motivation. The spiritual leader Dalai Lama has defined ten “energy thieves” that you must be aware of to achieve the mental state you need to succeed in your personal and professional spheres. We must raise our spiritual energy levels. Below we share these 10 keys and tell you how you can apply them to be a more successful entrepreneur: 1. Stay away from toxic people. Learn to distinguish those who do you good from those who do you harm; to those who motivate you from those who hold you back. Stay away from people who only share complaints, problems and negative emotions with you. Surround yourself with human beings who motivate you to be better and boost your good mood. 2. Pay your bills on time. Few things provide a sense of peace like knowing that you owe nothing and that they owe you nothing. Try to be up to date with your payments and avoid increased interest; On the other hand, it is also important that you collect your debts on time. Being up to date with your payments and having healthy finances will help you feel calm. 3. Keep your promises. This is one of the most valuable characteristics of an entrepreneur. If you promise something, make sure you make it happen; whether to your clients, partners, employees, suppliers, creditors or investors. If you have resisted fulfilling what you promised, ask yourself why that is; There may still be time to apologize, re-negotiate, or offer an alternative. At this point it is also key that you learn to say “no”; you must be aware of your reality, possibilities and limitations. 4. Delegate. You must understand that you are not an expert in everything and that you do not have the time to finish all the tasks. Furthermore, in your role as a manager, it is important that you dedicate a few hours to planning, thinking and doing the things you enjoy most. Only if you learn to delegate to the right people can your company grow and go to the next level. 5. Rest. Even if you are very busy, take a break from time to time. Do it at least at lunchtime and in the afternoon. While helping you regain strength, you will return to work with a fresh perspective and renewed energy. Doing so will help you be more creative and reduce burnout, which can affect your health and productivity. 6. Organize. The Dalai Lama says that there is nothing more energy-sucking than being in a cluttered space full of things you don’t need. Tidy up your desk, clean your email inbox and tidy up your house; Having objects where they belong will not only save you time, but will offer you a sense of peace of mind that allows you to work better. 7. Take care of your health. Remember, your company’s most valuable asset is yourself. And nothing in you can function unless the “machine is well oiled.” So make sure you exercise, watch your diet and sleep well. 8. Face difficult situations. It is never easy to fire an employee, talk about a problem with your partner or confront investors about lack of results; However, sooner or later you will have to do it. Postponing things only creates more stress and makes it difficult to focus on what is important. 9. Accept. It is not about resignation, but about avoiding resisting a situation that cannot be s change. If your business is not bearing fruit and you have already put all your effort into it, perhaps it is time to close it and start a new adventure. Perhaps the best phrase that illustrates this idea is the famous prayer of Saint Augustine: “(Lord) grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can change, and the wisdom to know the difference.” If it is in your hands, act, if it is not, admit it and leave it behind. 10. Forgive. If you truly apply it, this advice can change your life and perception of things. Let go of those situations that cause you pain; Not doing so causes pain and stress. If you start by changing your attitude towards the past, you will be able to permeate the current one and transform your future into what you want.
