Managing Your Energy Levels
The fitness industry is demanding: long hours and constant focus on other people. To save yourself from burnout, give permission to yourself to:
- Take brief but regular breaks. Step away from your desk, clients or even the club every 90 to 120 minutes for just a few minutes. Stretch, breathe and chill!
- Say ‘thank you’ as this positivity will boost your energy level and the person you speak with.
- Reduce your interruptions so that you can focus. Allocate specific times to return emails, chat with colleagues and to do your work
- Do what you love. Understand what your strengths are and what you enjoy doing. Then find ways to do more of those things.
