Thinking back to when I noticed myself operating at my peak performance I always felt a certain way. Meaning, I wasn't angry, sad, depressed, or anything like that. I felt good. I was in good spirits and was in a good state of emotional awareness.
The first thing you must do to harness the power of emotional energy is have good emotional awareness of yourself. You must KNOW how you are feeling and can work to make yourself feel as good as possible.
There could be many things that play into this component of having an abundance of emotional energy. How are the relationships in your life? Are there any outstanding conflicts you have with family or loved ones that are really affecting you? Have you dealt with emotions of the past that have bothered you substantially and always made you feel a certain way?
These are all things that will haunt you when it comes to operating at your peak potential. Because if you're harboring emotions that have the potential to be negative and damage you...they TAKE AWAY from your energy.
Emotions can be very draining and often times negative emotion is like this little vampire that sucks our energy away from other tasks, even if we don't want it to. I was experiencing this when I first got started building my Pre-Paid legal business. I was going through some depression because my last business venture didn't work out. In fact the business partner I was working with turned out to be doing some shady stuff and I was forced to end our business relationship because of it.
Needless to say if I had tried to ignore that emotion, I wouldn't be here writing this today. I had to get up from my computer very frequently and just take a break. I would go to the beach, read, or just meditate or do whatever I needed to do to really DEAL with how I was feeling. If I had put those feelings off they would have eaten all my energy. There is no way I could have been the productive entrepreneur I needed to be to get serious things done.
But because I took the time right then and there to deal with them it allowed me to grow and become more and more productive as time went on. This is just an example of how emotional energy will affect your peak performance. It's VERY KEY to make sure you feel good, and have dealt with or are dealing with anything that affects you emotionally. Doing this will allow you to operate at your true capacity.
In my next article in this series I will be talking about the third source of energy, "Mental". Without harnessing this source of energy it is impossible to create life long success.
