Proactive vs Reactive Energy Flow

Visualize how your focus determines whether influence expands or contracts

🌱 Proactive Focus

Energy flows outward from your Circle of Influence. Positive actions radiate and expand your capacity to effect change. The more you focus here, the more influence you gain.

Energy Pattern

Expanding • Growth-Oriented • Solution-Focused

📚Stephen Covey's Model

From The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (1989), Covey describes how our focus determines outcomes:

✓Proactive people focus on their Circle of Influence, working on things they can control
✗Reactive people focus on their Circle of Concern, dwelling on problems beyond their control

Result: Proactive focus expands influence over time. Reactive focus generates negative energy and shrinks influence.

💡Try This

Watch how the energy flows change between modes. Notice:

Proactive energy radiates outward from the center
Reactive energy spirals inward creating contraction
The particle speed and color intensity reflect energy quality

Question: Where is your energy currently flowing in your life?
