July Journal Prompt: The Energy Audit

It’s natural to feel depleted when we allow busyness to carry our days. 

This isn’t about blaming the pace of modern life, it’s about reclaiming agency, your choice in how to spend your most precious resource.

We are not looking to hustle or push through exhaustion here, we are looking for clarity and intentionality. By honestly observing where your energy flows, you give yourself the wisdom to make intelligent adjustments.

This month, let’s step into the role of compassionate observers of our own lives. With care, we’ll explore the natural rhythms of our energy. What truly fills our cup and what drains it.

By acknowledging our limits and choosing to prioritise the people, places, and activities that sustain us, we honour both our own needs and the needs of those around us.

The Prompt:

List three people, places, or activities that effortlessly give you energy. Then list three that drain it.

How can you tip the balance in your favour this week?

An Invitation to Journal 

Take your favourite pen and notebook. No need for making dramatic changes overnight. Just approach this with honest observation.

For the energy givers, write about the sensory details: What does that feeling of 'full' energy feel like in your body? For the energy drainers, write about the simple steps you can take to create kind, confident distance (e.g., setting a boundary, scheduling a pause, choosing an alternative).

Write about this audit as a gift of self-trust—you are listening to what you truly need.

May the clarity you find in this audit lead to a July filled with intentionality and energy. 

Happy journaling ✍🏼
