Where Your Energy Went And What It’s Trying to Tell You

If last week was about acknowledging the quiet ways you grew this year, this week is about something just as important: looking gently at where your energy actually went.

Not the tasks you completed.
Not the things you checked off.
Not the responsibilities you carried because you had to.

Your energy, the emotional, mental, and physical currency you spent all year long.

Your Energy Tells the Truth

Energy tells the truth long before your words do. It reveals what mattered to you, what weighed on you, what inspired you, and what asked too much of you. It shows where you forced yourself to push and where something inside you wanted to pull back.

And if you pause long enough to listen… your energy will tell you everything you need to know about what you want and no longer want in the year ahead.

Unfortunately, most of us don’t stop long enough to hear it. Instead, we keep moving, keep carrying, keep doing, and keep saying, “It’s fine, I’m fine,” even though some part of us knows we’re running on a version of autopilot that no longer feels sustainable.

So let’s change that!! This is the moment in the year (YES! Right Now!) when your body, more than your brain, remembers the truth.

It remembers the mornings you woke up already tired.
It remembers the afternoons when you had nothing left to give.
It remembers the late nights when your mind kept spinning.
It remembers the things you wanted to say no to but didn’t know how.
It remembers the little bursts of joy, too. The moments when something felt light, aligned, easy, or deeply yours.

Your energy holds all of it. So lean into these memories and notice so you can shift into areas that take less energy but create more momentum.

Understanding the Emotional Math of Your Year

So as you lean into these memories, the tired mornings, the afternoons stretched thin, the late-night mental spinning, and the unexpected pockets of joy, try to see them not as isolated moments, but as pieces of a larger pattern. They’re reflections of what this year asked of you, what it took, and what it quietly gave back in return.

Your energy has been telling a story all year long, and these memories are simply the chapters you may not have paused to read. When you step back and consider them together, a clearer picture starts to form; one that shows not just where your time went, but where you went.

And this is exactly where understanding becomes useful. Before you can decide what you want to build, strengthen, or change in the year ahead, you need to understand the energetic landscape you’ve been living in. Not to judge it, but to acknowledge it. Not to scrutinize it, but to recognize its truth.

Because once you understand where your energy flowed, and why it went in that direction, you begin to see the patterns underneath. And those patterns point directly to the real barriers that shaped your year, the ones ready to be named before you step into the next.

Next week, we’ll explore those barriers more clearly.
Not the surface-level ones, not “being busy,” not “time management,” not “not knowing where to start”, but the deeper, more honest barriers:

The identity conflicts.
The emotional patterns.
The survival habits that worked in one season but limit you in the next.
The places where your goals and your nervous system weren’t aligned.
The way you’re wired to work, and the ways you’ve been working against yourself.

And next week’s post is also where your business challenge quiz comes in, because it helps name the exact pattern that shaped your energy this year.

But for today, I want to leave you with a simple reflection:

Where did your energy go this year, and what is it trying to tell you about who you’re becoming?

There is no shame in the answer. Only information, truth, and a starting point. Your energy has been speaking all year, now is the time to listen.
