How often do you think about your own energy? Of course, if we are ill or we have a sleepless night, we may recognize that we feel sluggish and low energy. What about on the ordinary days? Most of us don't make conscious decisions about how we will spend our physical, mental, and emotional energy. Or at least, not until recently. As things in our world grow chaotic and hard to predict, I find I have to be extra diligent about my decisions. Social media: a huge energy drain. Nightly news: an energy drain. A peek at the stock market and its performance: who knows!
I'm so grateful for my yoga practice. Nothing else slows me down and helps me assess my own energy and how I can put it to good use. As I breathe, I think more clearly. As I bend and move, I get into the present moment and can appreciate my body and the energy it provides me each day.
Rest, play, creative pursuits...they all help me fill my tank and replenish energy. Eating well and being aware of the fuel I need each day becomes important too.
I'd love to hear from you....what's the best way for you to recharge and gain energy?
