Fully Engaged!

Full Engagement

• You are Physically Energized

• You are Emotionally Connected

• You are Mentally Focused

• You are Spiritually Aligned with a purpose beyond our immediate self interest

Principle #1

Full Engagement requires drawing on four separate but related sources of

energy: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual

Current Daily Reality: Scale of 1-10

• How Physically Energized are you?

• How Emotionally Connected are you?

• How Mentally Focused are you?

• How Spiritually connected with a purpose beyond yourself are you?

Principle #2

Because energy capacity diminishes both with overuse and underuse,

we must balance energy expenditure with energy renewal

To live fully engaged, we must learn

how to rhythmically spend and renew energy

Pulse it real good!

Circadian RhythmsUltradian Rhythms

First 60 mins – Alertness increases90-120 mins – Body craves rest

What made the difference?

Even just small amounts of recovery between tasks

can have a huge impact on your performance

Principle #3

To build capacity, we must push beyond our normal limits,

by systematically exposing ourselves to more stress

followed by adequate recovery

We build emotional, mental and spiritual capacity

in precisely the same way we build physical capacity

Personal Story

How can we have the strongest ‘engage-renew pulse’

possible and increase capacity

when needed for new challenges?

Principle #4

Positive Energy Rituals (highly specific routines for

managing energy) are the key

to full engagement and sustaining high performance

What new rituals would support you

in each area?(To engage fully, renew fully or grow

capacity)

Physical tips

Look at these areas for new rituals:• Patterns of breathing• Foods you eat and when• Quantity and quality of sleep• Degree of recovery during the day• Level of fitness

Emotional Tip

Look at how much time a week you devote to

activities purely for the pleasure of them?

(…schedule some)

Mental Tip #1

‘Where are you when you get your best ideas?

...almost no one says work’ – Michael Gelb

(make time for creative imagining)

Mental Tip #2

Build your focus muscle by practicing sustained focus

with timed work/break sessions (i.e. 60 mins on, 10 mins off)

Take time each morning to connect with your

deepest values, highest priorities and purpose
