Spend your reserve on healing
Why give your extra energy to work when you could give it to your own healing?
What Scott says
Now you have this reserve capacity. so when you do better, meaning you're not leaving your own sense of power, you know, and giving away and abandoning yourself as much. then you have more capacity to do more externally. But that's not necessarily good.
Because then you just will go, like, your old patterns will be like, oh, look at, I get value from doing stuff or checking things off the list or I sleep better. So I'm going to do it. And then, as opposed to like, oh, you're doing better. You're keeping your energy in your body.
You're keeping your power, you know, inside of you. Now you have this reserve capacity. Why give it to work when you could give it to your own spiritual and psychological healing and evolution? So it's just something to make sure at least you're consciously choosing where to put it or where you're giving it.
Otherwise, the old pattern will just take it.
