And I think it's just as important to think about it in your personal life.

Think about, you know, largely in this context, like thinking about some of the relationships and some of the, you know, the people across a lot of these different questions, because in general, like the people shape your outcomes.

And so being able to have that have that reflection on some of the people as well along the way is important.

Yeah, on the change your mind question, it would be more about like, you know, what did I change my mind on when it comes to, you know, certain behaviors or approaches towards certain types of people in my life.

As we get into later questions in this exercise, we'll talk about like more specifics when it comes to different types of people that created versus drained energy, etc.

With this, it would be like.

you know, on the personal side, you know, maybe some of your routines, like you've realized you needed to shift the context in which you viewed different routines, different approaches to things, stuff like that.

Want to jump to question two?

What created energy this year?

So the fundamental idea with both question two and question three, which we'll come to, is that your outcomes in life follow your energy.

Idea being like when you are working on and leaning into things that create that lift, that natural pull, you create the best outcomes.

And so identifying the things that create energy versus drain energy in your life is essential because when you do that, then you're able to actually guide and make changes so that you can lean into the things that create and lean away from the things that drain.

This question and its inverse, which is question three, is going to have you actually look back at your calendars from the full year and use those to get underneath those trends to start actually deconstructing what were those types of activities that created versus drained energy in your life.

I always look at on the draining side in particular, I focus on how do I feel after rather than how do I feel during.

for that exact reason.

Uh, working out actually the example that you brought up there is the best one in my mind for me, because there's plenty of run workouts or different lifts or whatever, where I'm clearly drained during it physically and mentally, but afterwards you always feel fantastic or even like a cold plunge as a silly example, right?

Like the fad of 2022 or whatever year it was that everyone was cold plunging.

Um,

You know, clearly you're not like super enjoying being in freezing cold water that is draining in a lot of ways.

But when you get out, you feel incredible.
