Energize Your Life

If there is a holy grail that many of us are searching for it is the quest for more energy? Could you use a jolt of energy in your life? Most of us could. What is energy? Where does it come from and how can we get more of this precious commodity?

As a coach, I like to think I get my clients plugged into the right outlet for them. Many of us are so scattered we are all over the place with our energy. We run on energy just like the electricity that powers our world. We cannot see it but we can feel it.

Are the circuits overloaded in your life? You know what happens when the circuits are overloaded – you blow a fuse and the lights go out! Do you crash and burn regularly, there is a better way. The good news for us is our energy is a renewable resource. How do you get plugged in and renewed?

• Get moving, go for a walk – being a couch potato is not high energy
• Look in the mirror and tell yourself how great you are
• Rather than sitting when you are on the phone stand
• Wear your best clothes for no special reason – when we look good we tend to feel good
• Set your intention everyday to have a glorious day
• Believe in miracles
• Read a daily positive quote or inspiration
• Be kind to yourself and others
• Laugh and smile it is contagious
• High energy foods give you high energy fuel
• Put a flower or plant on your desk or give one away

To get more energy in your life you need to get clear on what energizes you. This is probably something you have never considered before. One way to start recognizing the truth is to keep a notebook with you. When you feel great write down what it was that gave you that energy boost and we are not talking that extra large latte you might have just had!

Every one of us is wired differently. Keep track, it may sound simple but you just might be surprised what you learn about yourself. Notice the simple things that work for you, looking out the window for ten minutes or singing along to the radio. As you track what energizes you, you will also notice what drains you.

To live a life at high voltage you have to stop giving your energy away. Does anything aggravate you, annoy you or waste your time? Become aware, adjust and start responding rather than reacting. If your neighbour plugged his appliances into your house you would not accept this. Your personal energy is an even more important resource start noticing what is happening.

• learned to say “no” when you want to
• Stay focused – don’t let situations side track you
• Set clear boundaries and stick to them

Remember you are the captain of your ship and the expert on you. Maintaining your energy is up to you, no one else can do this for you. What will you do with all this new found energy? Enjoy your life – it is up to you to make it the best life possible!

Love and Light!

The Second Life Platform - Greetings! I'm not sure how many of you have heard of or are sensitive to Second Life and its related entities. However, Second Life is a fantastic platform to mimmick real life business operations in a real currency based economy. There are plenty of successful stories for creative individuals, but I'd highly suggest doing your research and appreciating Second Life for what it is, and what it isn't.

So are you currently a member? And more importantly, have you tried to open a store front in that virtual world?
Re: Charge what you're worth - [quote="Tami Szabo":292ze3jd]People will pay you what you ask. Very few will ever up the price. You are the one who decided what you are worth. The key is that we believe our services are worth the price we are asking.[/quote:292ze3jd] Hi Tami, You're absolutely right. In "Think and Grow Rich", Jessie B. Rittenhouse says "For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menial's hire Only to learn, dismayed , That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid" (Napoleon Hill 35). I think the same can be said when setting prices on eBay or Craigslist, especially when people are trying to haggle you.
Re: Favorite Christmas movies - [quote="OmnivoreInk":1rxsgr0t]I do have to say I've never liked[i:1rxsgr0t] It's A Wonderful Life[/i:1rxsgr0t]. He spends all his life having his hopes and dreams shattered, feeling miserable, and its only at the end of his life that he can look back and realize how many friends he has, etc. But that doesn't change the fact that up until that point he was miserable![/quote:1rxsgr0t] I love the sentimentality around watching that movie with your Mom! Chtistmas is made up of all those sentimental things. "It's A Wonderful Life" is all about perspective, much in the same way that Scrooge is 'realigned' in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" - which I listen to on CD every year (sometimes twice!) Happy Christmas Everyone! Regards Martin
