| 8 Real Life Energy Boosting Secrets You Can Use TODAY |  |
Energy - the natural resource in shortest supply, especially
for the 100 million Americans who are suffering from chronic
or incurable illness. Just thinking of everyone who needs
you can sap out what little energy you have left. Maybe you
feel like you can't possibly get it all done. But you know
you HAVE to. People depend on you everyday. Your family.
Your friends. Your coworkers. Your clients. Even your pets!
To meet the demands of life today, you can't afford to have
your energy depleted. So here are some ways to easily boost
those levels right away.
1. Aerocize. I was speaking with a friend yesterday who has
Lyme disease. He is so ill he literally cannot exercise. He
was depressed. I suggested he go out his door (get as
bundled up as necessary) and close the door. Take in deep
breaths for 10 minutes. He could not believe how much better
he felt. If where you are is smoggy, or if there is no way
you can get outside, get an air purifier and you will have
the benefits of the negative ions anyway.
3. Exercise is the energy creator. Move your body, no matter
how little. If you cannot even move your ankle or wrist
joints around in circles, imagine yourself doing it. You
know you need it, so why fight it? Take a walk, even if it
is winter. If you can't walk outside, walk in a mall.
Stretch. Elongate those tight muscles. Dance! Put on your
favorite music and move around (again if you cannot move
even minimally imagine yourself doing this.) It feels so
good. If you're bedridden or for some other reason can't
exercise today, at least visualize doing it in your mind.
You all know the story of the P.O.W. from Vietnam who was
imprisoned for 8 years, never exercising. Every day he
visualized playing golf, stroke by stroke. The day he got
home he got the best score in golf in his life. The bottom
line is we are meant to exercise. The nervous and endocrine
systems need stimulation to release endorphins (those
feel-good, energy enhancing chemicals).
4. Pump up your energy in your attitude. Think of life as a
school. When you quit learning, you begin dying. Open your
mind; learn something new every day. Make it a game! Write
down your new find in a spiral notebook - nothing fancy.
It's fun to look back and see how much more knowledge you've
captured over time.
5. Clutter - The silent Energy Sucker. You've heard it
before - what's on the outside is a reflection of what's on
the inside. Surrounded by clutter? It has a real physical
effect on your energy levels. Don't worry. I'm not going to
ask you to clean out your garage or over-stuffed closet all
at once. Set a timer and just take 15 minutes a day to
de-clutter your space. It's all about baby steps.
6. What goes in shows on the outside. Keep your water intake
high. Studies show lack of water is the number one trigger
of daytime fatigue. In fact, a mere 2% drop in body water
can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic
math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a
printed page. Thirsty yet?
7. Let it go. There is a direct relationship between buried
anger and your energy levels. Holding onto a grudy or not
moving on in your life hurts you more than it hurts anyone
else. It only helps you physically and energetically to
acknowledge that people have their limitations. If you were
hurt, you don't have to trust that person again. Ritualize
it instead! Write his or her name on a piece of paper. Pour
all of your painful thoughts into that paper. Now destroy
it. Burn it. Drown it. Rip it up. Don't you feel better?
Forgiving and letting go is a selfish act you do to make
yourself feel better. Be a little selfish!
8. Money can't buy you happiness. But most people refuse
to believe it. If you find you are doing things you find
unpleasant just for a paycheck, you can be assured your
energy is depleted. If you dislike your job or if you have
not been able to work because of your condition, try this
exercise. Scan the newspaper for 10 jobs in 4 different
fields you could do. These don't have to be jobs you WANT to
do. Just ones that you COULD do. This exercise is meant to
teach flexibility. It reframes you in a light you don't
normally see yourself. With this expansion of possibility,
you'll feel less trapped. More hopeful. More energized! Once
you see something you might like to do ask friends if they
know of a way to do this in the amount of time you have.
