Today’s Principle

Energy Flows Where There Is Alignment.
When we feel pulled in too many directions or like we're carrying too much, it's often a sign that we're out of alignment, and that feels energetically draining.

Real energy comes not just from pushing forward, but from pausing to realign — to let go of what drains us and make space for what uplifts us.

Today, we explore the idea that we can shift how we feel not by doing more, but by doing less of what depletes us and more of what renews us.

Today’s Hypothesis

“When I take a moment to recognize what drains my energy — and choose to release or reduce it — I begin to feel more focused, energized, and aligned with what matters most.”

Even a small act of letting go can create spaciousness and clarity.

Today’s Experiment: DEPLETION & RENEWAL

Take out a piece of paper and draw a line down the center.

On the left side, write: What Depletes My Energy?
On the right side, write: What Renews My Energy?

As you go through your day today, identify 3 - 5 items for each side. These could be:

People, habits, environments, inner dialogue, obligations
Activities, breaks, moments, rituals, boundaries, movement

Now pause. Ask:

What can I release, even a little?
What can I add or protect to support my energy?

This is about noticing patterns. You don’t have to overhaul your life — just realign in one small way.

When our actions reflect our true values, they tend to restore and energize us. When our actions conflict with our values, they tend to drain and deplete us.

Alignment means your thoughts, emotions, and behavior are all moving in the same direction — toward what matters most.

Day 3 Practice

Let Go and Realign

A short audio to help you connect to your core values, release what you no longer need, and align your inner system.

Reflect & Record

Prompts:

What did I notice when I listed what depletes and renews me?
What felt most surprising or validating?
What’s one thing I can release — and one thing I can renew — today?
