Emotions both remit and require energy. Positive, growth-promoting emotions such as excitement, hope, and humility optimize happiness, performance and well-being. Negative, survival-based emotions include anger, frustration, and fear.

Energy management is not only about the day-to-day choices we make, but also how those choices are aligned to our purpose and what gives us meaning. It may sound counterintuitive, but when we align our energy with our purpose, it expands our energy capacity.
