Energy Refresh
I keep running out of energy…
These words from a young child talking to his mum in a waiting room.
Minutes earlier he had been tapping away at a screen with wild abandon.
I smiled and thought, I’m not surprised.
His mum suggested that he wait a few minutes for the game to refresh its energy. It did and the tapping continued until the energy was once again depleted.
It’s an all-too-familiar scenario for us adults, too.
We rapidly expend our energy as we get caught up in all of work and life. Rinse and repeat. Unlike a game, though, we sometimes have to wait more than a few minutes for an energy refresh.
It makes me wonder how we might play the game a little differently, how about you?
