You can’t escape the things that drain your energy. Every day you are exposed to things, situations and people that will drain your energy. You’d have to completely isolate yourself to avoid them, and that in itself would drain your energy! They key is to have plenty of things in your life that energize you. The more you have that energizes you, the less impact the things that drain you will have.
These are all things that go on whether you’re aware of them or not. Every day your energy is fluctuating. When you become aware of where your energy level is in any given moment, that not only makes you feel better, but it also gives you some sense of control – a way to return to a state of feeling good when something knocks you off track. So let’s look at a few of the things that can restore your energy:
Clean, Open, Organized Space
There’s no doubt about it, we feel better when we are in a space that is free of clutter, that is organized, that feels open, fresh, clean and clear. Particularly if it’s also well-balanced in terms of the elements (as in feng shui). Think of stepping into a beautiful garden, with colorful flowers and birds and a fountain. Or walking into a beautifully decorated room, filled with rich color, comfortable furnishings and beautiful artwork. When you create a space like this for yourself at home, then every time you come home you will feel re-energized. Just thinking about your home will give you an energy boost.
Loving What You Do
If you don’t love what you do, and have to get up every morning and do something you don’t enjoy it will suck the life force energy right out of you. Loving what you do gives you a sense of purpose and passion, you feel joyful. It’s never too much effort.
Conscious Breathing
I know it sounds obvious because it’s something we all do and we’re usually completely unaware that we’re doing it. But you’d soon know if you weren’t breathing! But paying attention to your breathing has a wonderful renewing, and calming effect. When you just focus your attention on each breath, and even make the effort to breathe a little more deeply, you are giving your body and spirit a wonderful gift. Just this simple act enables you to slow down, calm down and feel re-energized. It’s particularly useful when you’re in the middle of a stressful situation, just remembering to breathe deeply and really focus on your breathing will not only help you feel calmer in that moment, because you are calm you are much more likely to be able to think of the right thing to say or do in the situation.
Having a Coach or Mentor
This is like having a partner. Someone with whom you can share your dreams, your goals and ideas. Someone who will celebrate with you and help you overcome any challenges. Having a coach and mentor is a wonderful thing because they not only support and encourage you, they’ll help you achieve your goals and figure out the best way to do it. This is like having your own personal cheerleader and guide. They can help you see what you, and others close to you, can’t see. When you invest in someone who can help you accomplish your goals, rather than struggling to do everything yourself, you are investing in yourself. Investing in yourself (whether it’s time, energy or money) is one of the most powerful and energizing things you can do.
Music
There’s nothing quite like music to restore your energy. The right music can soothe and calm you or pump you up and energize you. If you sing along to a song you love it’s hard to stay unhappy. If you dance around the house to vibrant music, your energy will soar.
These are just a few ideas of things that help you restore, renew and re-energize. It’s a good idea to create a list of your own, so that if you find your energy is lower than it should be or than you’d like it to be, you can give yourself a quick boost.
