One thing I think is very important in life is having loads of ENERGY.
I think we can all agree on that.
Which means, I am actively on the lookout for things that drain us of energy or cause us to have energy “leaks“.
Imagine if we start the day with 100% of energy credits.
But we “leak” 5% here.
And we “leak” 12% there.
Plus, we unknowingly “drain” 9% of energy in another place.
Essential that means – before we even get started in the day – we are only at 74% of our true energy potential.
So, it makes sense to plug leaks wherever we can.
The book I wrote called “18 Ways We Make Life WAY Harder Than It Needs To Be” is the perfect resource to identify where you might be leaking energy, spending too much energy, or getting a lower ROI from the energy you are spending.
In the book – which I wrote a couple of years ago – I did not include the energy leak we are focusing on today.
And as often happens, this leak was highlighted by a recent conversation with a Coaching client.
So this article is dedicated to JB.
Hopefully we can learn from their “mistakes”.
Here we go.
I have never been a fan of the “one-size-fits-all” model.
I find it very lazy.
One type of eating for all humans?
One type of schooling for all children?
One type of type of parenting for all kids?
One type of medical intervention for all people?
That is a big fat “NO!!!” to all of these.
We are all (as they would say in Bali) – “Same, same; but different“.
One size does not fit all.
Especially when we look beyond the complexity of our physical, mental, psychological and spiritual differences to the world around us.
It is unique.
And is often different, day-to-day.
Which means we need to show up differently, for different situations, at different times, on different days.
I love to use regular life lessons from my life, and the lives of others, to explore in my articles.
To keep things relevant.
One thing I know is relevant to us all is money.
SO relevant.
It is almost as powerful, and has the potential to spiral our emotions up or down, as the thing called LOVE.
And it ticks me off a bit that it was never taught in school.
Imagine being taught from an early age about how to make a budget, how to save money, and the enormous power of COMPOUNDING INTEREST.
Or dispelling beliefs that are not true or useful, like “money is the root of all evil” or “riches are for the other people” or “you have to work hard for money”.
The last one is not useful IMHO, as it does not have CONTEXT.
There is working HARD, and then there is working consistently and intelligently.
So, money is a “thing”.

Over the last few weeks, I have been building the pieces of a central theme.
The theme is essentially to make you more POWERFUL.
More wise.
More capable.
More resilient.
More calm.
And less impacted, or adversely affected, by the inevitable curve balls that come your way.
I am also a believer in there being a disruption to the collective consciousness (i.e. the energy and frequency of humanity and the planet), which makes us all a little more amped, unstable, and with a less-coherent personal field of energy.
With political polarization, mixed agenda’s, war’s, oppression of people, rising prices, new taxes, changing rules and regulations, markets confused by the introduction of AI, rising pollution, and a whole bunch of other stuff from your personal list; one of the outcomes is an over-stimulation of the nervous system.
What I call a “jacked” nervous system.
Something I find extremely common with the vast majority of my clients (before we start doing the work).
And something that impedes them from being their 2.0 Version.
I also say often to my clients that what self-care worked in 2019, will not help you thrive in 2026 and beyond.
Let’s just dive straight in.
I am at the airport lounge in Melbourne, on my way back to Bali, and my airport Lounge pass gets me 3hrs, so I want to get this Newsletter sorted chop-chop, and then get myself sorted with some yummy food I saw on the way in. 😉
The key messages of today’s article are simply:
1. There is a REAL cost to Anxiety (or any equivalent emotion that disrupts the nervous system).
2. There are great solutions (one with over 300 research studies validating its effectiveness).
When we truly understand what something is costing us, rather than a cursory understanding, it finally gives us the motivation and commitment to actually address it front on.
Rather than having its slow burn taking us off track.
Like an airplane, which is travelling from Melbourne to Bali, if the plotted course is deviated by just a degree or 2, you don’t end up in Denpasar (your intended destination), but probably land in one of the remote jungles on Papua New Guinea.
The same in life.
If anxiety causes you to go off course just a little bit, it ultimately alters your Destiny.
Let me tell you WHY anxiety throws you off course.

I am always on the lookout for relevant topics.
Recently I was working with a client and a particular “topic” came up, and then 2 days later, the very same topic came up from a very different source.
I figure if 2 people in a short time are having an issue with “people pleasing“, there are bound to be a lot more people in the same situation.
And the focus will be on making this (as always) super practical.
In my mind, there is a HUGE difference between doing things because your big beautiful heart wants to, and doing things out of FEAR because of some unknown, subconscious program playing in the back of your mind.
Essentially running a script like: “If you DO NOT people please then bad things will happen, or you won’t feel good about yourself“.
It is like the HEART-initiated pleasing others elevates you, while the HEAD-initiated (due to untrue stories) takes you down.
Let’s explore this a little deeper.
