Episode 72

Find Passion in Your Business When Energy is Low

By /

There are days when energy flows with ease, and days when it doesn’t. Days when showing up for your business feels effortless, and days when even the simplest task feels heavy. This piece is about those days. About finding your passion for your business even when your energy is low, fluctuating, or feels like it’s disappeared altogether.

Because it’s not about pushing through. It’s about reconnecting. Reconnecting to the why, the vision, the truth at the heart of what you’re creating. Even when your body is tired. Even when your mood dips. Even when symptoms, whether from depression, anxiety, trauma, or something else, rise up and cloud your clarity.

You don’t have to feel vibrant every day to feel passionate about your business. But you do need tools that help you return to your centre, gently, truthfully, and with care.

Gratitude Is a Reconnection Point

Gratitude shifts everything. Even in the middle of a low moment, when your body feels heavy or your mind feels distant, gratitude can bring you back. Sometimes I just close my eyes, imagine a younger version of me sitting in my heart, and say, “Thank you, business.” Not because everything is perfect, but because I’m here. I’m doing what I never thought I would do. I’ve created something that supports me, and I honour that.

You don’t need to wait for a high-vibe day to feel grateful. In fact, the most powerful gratitude often comes when things are messy. Raw. Tender.

And if the words feel stuck, just breathe. I love box breathing—four counts in, four counts hold, four counts out, four counts hold. That alone can begin to lift your energy. More oxygen to your body. More clarity to your mind. More space to feel your truth.

Journaling and Visual Tools for Reigniting Passion

When you feel disconnected from your business, a simple journaling practice can help. Not as a task, but as a way to listen. Ask yourself:

  • What does passion mean to me right now?
  • How is passion showing up in my life or business?
  • What am I truly grateful for about my business, even today?
  • How could I reconnect to that feeling, even gently?

Let the answers come slowly. Let them surprise you. Sometimes one or two sentences are enough to shift how you feel.

You can also work with imagery. Close your eyes and imagine a wand that’s on fire. See yourself holding it. Feel its heat radiating into your body. Let the fire light you up, cell by cell, thought by thought. That fire is your passion. And even when you forget it’s there, it’s still burning. It’s still alive within you.

Tracking Your Energy to Support Your Flow

If your energy fluctuates regularly, it helps to become a gentle observer. You can track your energy in small ways throughout the day:

  • Write down how you’re feeling emotionally, physically, and energetically
  • Note what you’re doing, what you’ve eaten or drunk, and whether your mindset is fixed or open
  • Pay attention to what lifts your energy, and what drains it

Over time, you’ll see patterns. For me, sugar creates a high and then a crash. Creative work lifts me. Client sessions give me energy. Graphics and admin tasks, though necessary, are not where my passion lives. So I set up systems, templates, processes, content plans, so I can spend less energy on what drains me and more on what fills me up.

That’s not just strategy. That’s sacred self-support.

Adjusting Your Environment and Schedule

The world around you affects your energy too. Shopping centres, busy spaces, or overstimulating environments can leave you depleted. So find alternatives that work for you. Early morning errands. Deliveries. Quiet cafes. Protecting your energy is part of protecting your passion.

I’ve also learned to honour scheduling. I plan content ahead, not to control everything, but to give myself more freedom. More space for creativity. More time for the parts of my business I truly love.

Setting structured hours means I know when I’m working and when I’m not. That creates balance. That helps me wake up excited instead of overwhelmed. Because while I love my business deeply, I don’t want to spend 40 hours a week on it. I want to create with intention. I want to serve with energy. And I want to feel good doing it.

Final Reflections

You’re allowed to have days when your energy is low and your passion feels far away. You’re allowed to slow down. To ask different questions. To meet yourself where you are.

And even in those moments, the love for your business can still be present. Quiet, maybe, but real.

Passion doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it flickers. But it doesn’t go out. And with the right support, your breath, your rituals, your boundaries, it will rise again. In your own time. In your own rhythm.
