Up, up and away.
Focus on what gives you energy this week and let's rise together. (Don't forget it's the Heart Leap writing hour at 9am today.)
“Energy, not time, is the fundamental currency of high performance.” Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz
Your energy is currency and it’s precious.
It is not something to scatter like confetti over every request, every drama, every badly organised meeting, every person who leaves you feeling as if your soul has been put through a spin cycle.
It’s Monday and this week I want us to get curious how we’re spending our life force.
What gives you a return? What restores you? What makes you feel brighter, stronger, more yourself? And what takes a great big handful of you and gives absolutely nothing back except a mild headache and the urge to lie down in a darkened room?
Let’s protect what restores us. Release what drains us. Let our life be powered by what makes us feel most alive.
Prompt:
Where are you spending your energy today, and where would you like to invest it instead?
Want to create a writing practice? Come join us at Heart Leap.
If you’ve been meaning to write — your journal, your Substack, your book, your Big Beautiful Thing — but somehow always end up reorganising the fridge instead… welcome home.
At Heart Leap, I host four writing hours a week Monday to Thursday from 9–10am GMT. We chat for five minutes at the start, five at the end, and the rest of the time we simply write together. No pressure or performance, just a calm, friendly corner of the internet where pages get filled and ideas stop hiding.
If you need accountability, a regular rhythm, or a space where other writers are also muttering “why is this so hard?”, you’ll be in excellent company.
We also have a Writing Rehab class on the first Wednesday of the month and we run the 12 week Artist’s Way once a year.
If you want 2026 to be the year your writing life finally feels supported, fun and alive, subscribe for £7 a month and come write with us.
(Do subscribe on desktop rather than the app, otherwise Apple charge an extra 30%.)
