We talk about productivity like it’s fuelled by time, skills, and systems. But energy, the quality of how we show up, is the real driver.

I used to give until there was nothing left. I thought saying “yes” was service. But I’ve learned this: boundaries are not selfish – they are sacred.

When I protect my own battery, I protect the people counting on me.

So now, I honor the rituals that refuel me: Conversations that lift. Nature. Prayer. Quiet reflection. These are not luxuries. They are leadership practices.

Reflection Prompt: What boundary can you set this week to protect your energy?
