Maximizing Your Energy: Effective Strategies for a Vital Life

Dear Soul, Are you low on energy? Imagine for a moment you're filled with the boundless energy of a child. From the moment you wake up in the morning you bounce out of bed feeling refreshed and invigorated. You have loads of energy to get everything done that needs doing throughout the day. And you still have plenty of energy left over at the end of the day for the fun stuff you really enjoy. When you finally get into bed at night you fall into the most beautiful deep sleep having had the most wonderfully satisfying day! Feel how much happier you are when you connect with your natural youthful vitality and vigour, feeling energised and fulfilled!

As an adult, if your batteries are flat and you don't have enough energy, then let's face it - you're not getting the most out of life! Why? Because everything requires energy.

Without energy you can't breathe, think, feel, or function properly. If your batteries are running on empty then you not only feel flat, lethargic and tired, but you won't be enjoying yourself as much as you could.

But how much vitality and energy you have depends on the state of your internal battery.

We need all 4 types of ENERGY

Our internal battery has four cells that generate four different types of energy. Most people tend to think of energy in the physical sense in terms of having enough PHYSICAL energy. But we also need plenty of MENTAL energy, EMOTIONAL energy and SPIRITUAL energy in order to function at our best and get the most enjoyment out of life.

The problem is that all four energy cells are interconnected, so when we deplete our energy stores on one level, it can affect our energy on all four levels - and this is when tiredness and fatigue can set in.

So why am I so TIRED all the time? 

Apart from specific medical problems, there are three main contributors that can cause our battery to run flat and for us to feel low in energy:

1 - Losing Energy through ENERGETIC BLOCKAGES

We all encounter ENERGY BLOCKAGES and DRAINS. These are things that sap our energy, cause us physical, mental, emotional and or spiritual stress, and deplete us of our natural vitality. They include any unresolved experiences or issues, be they past, present or future. Things such as:

• Relationship problems

• Dealing with difficult people

• Financial worries

• Family concerns

• Job uncertainties

• Traumas

• Workplace difficulties

• Fears and limiting belief patterns

• Unresolved loss or grief

Unresolved, unhealed issues from the past create energy blocks that prevent the flow of our lifeforce energy. Ignoring or denying them simply keeps these energy blocks in place and does nothing to restore our energy to its maximum potential.

Things that are worrying or concerning you at the moment will also be reducing your energy levels. Clearing the energy of the emotions involved and shifting your perspective and beliefs will help minimise your energy loss and increase your vitality and well-being in the here and now.

2 - Leaking energy through ENERGY DRAINS

You know what I'm talking about here.... all the things that drain your energy. The negative people in your life that seem to suck the energy out of the room. The scrolling on social media for hours on end that leaves you devoid of any dopamine reserves. The evening news that causes you to feel hopelessness and despair. The negative thought patterns and critical self talk that leaves you feeling completely wiped out and depleted.

3 - Not Recharging your energy with ENERGY BOOSTS

The other factor contributing to poor energy levels can be failing to nourish ourselves with the right energy activators.

Sometimes we forget our battery can only last for so long before it needs recharging. Knowing what uplifts and nourishes your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energies is the other half of the equation to improving your energy levels.

Our basic needs are pretty simple really. We need clean air, a bit of food, lots of clean water, positive physical and mental stimulation, some time out, a solid amount of uninterrupted sleep, a safe and comfortable environment, and positive connections with Self as well as the people around us.

These are like our basic ENERGETIC VITAMINS we need to feel energised, alive and invigorated. Not too much to ask really. As babies, if we're missing any of these physical, mental, emotional or spiritual vitamins in our day, we stop thriving. As adults we're no different - we still need the same daily energetic inputs.

Most people forget this and think that as adults we can run on less sleep, poor nutrition, less social interaction, stale environments, and an excess of stress.

So How Can I BOOST MY ENERGY LEVELS?

1 - Do the clearing work to release the stuck energy. And if you don't know how to do that for yourself, consult with an experienced practitioner who can help.

2 - Identify the things that drain your energy and stop doing them. Switch off. Set clear boundaries. Say no to the things that drain your energy. And look after the energy that you have, and

3 - Look to nourish your energy with things that nourish and uplift you.

You can start uncovering the best energy vitamins for you by taking a few moments to explore your answers to the following questions:

• What things nourish me physically and make my body feel good?  

• What things nourish me mentally, stimulating my thinking? What things help to centre me and quiet my mind from all the mental chatter?  

• What things nourish me emotionally? What things help clear my emotions and help me feel at ease?  

• What things nourish my spirit? What things help me feel a sense of inner peace and connection with my Soul Self? 

Or you can get started with any of the following energy boosts and notice the difference it makes to the way you feel - the more you do the better you'll feel!

• CLEAR FOODS - Eat clear fresh foods that nourish your body rather than using up more energy for digesting foods loaded in fats and sugars

  
  

• WATER - Stress places a strain on our kidneys and depletes us of water, so drink at least 2 litres of clean clear water every day
  

• SLEEP - Ensure you get 7 to 8 hours uninterrupted quality sleep each night (sleep interruptions are a sign your body is bothered by something and is trying to get your attention to alert you to the problem)
  

• NATURE - Nature's clearing properties re-energise our body, so put down your devices, get outdoors and inhale some fresh air into your lungs, get some Vit D with some sun on your skin, take your shoes off and walk bare foot in the park to connect with the earth's energies, and sit by the water or go for a swim to help clear any stagnant emotional energy or Qi
  

• MEDITATE - Try meditating for even as little as 60 seconds to give your brain some quiet time to be still and rebalance your energy
  

• MUSIC - Movement boosts our energy so listen to uplifting music and get your body moving to the beat
  

• CREATIVITY - Do something creative to invite your creative energies to flow and invigorate the right side of your brain
  

• INTERACT - Energise using other people's energy and ensure you have enough social interaction in your life on a regular basis
  

• TOUCH - Physical touch feeds us positive loving energy whilst clearing stress hormones, so get some physical contact, even if it means paying for a massage

Create your own list of things that BOOST YOUR ENERGY LEVELS and make you FEEL GOOD. Then keep your list handy so you can easily refer to it.

Do something to boost your energy levels every few hours, or at least once a day to feel great and RE-ENERGISE!  

By learning how to nourish your energy, you'll be able to feel good, improve your focus, productivity and effectiveness at work, and still have plenty of energy leftover to do everything else you want to do in life. Unleash your natural energy reserves and you'll feel like a youthful high energy kid again!

With fierce love, radiant joy, heartfelt compassion, infinite curiosity, and unwavering truth,
