MY ENERGY CHECK
Your energy is like the battery in your phone. You want to keep it charged to use it when you need it. This self-assessment helps you reflect on five energy batteries: Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, and Social.
The scores do not measure your energy level at one moment. They reflect habits, facts and perceptions that influence how well you take care of each battery.

5. References & Source Inspiration
This self-assessment is a practical adaptation for reflection and improvement. It is not a medical, psychological, or clinical diagnostic tool.
Main reference logic: the “battery” metaphor and the five areas of energy are inspired mainly by Francesca-Giulia Mereu’s Personal Energy Management / Energy Check work, then adapted into a simple self-assessment format for leadership development.
