#FreshTake – Boost your energy to follow your dreams – Part 3

Avoid the 24/7 always on lifestyle, turn off lights, music, TV, and most importantly, the mind

The fight to reclaim our energy is one of the most important battles we’ll ever fight. Triumph in that and we gain the strength to fight an even greater battle (the fight for our dreams and the life we imagine.)

Reclaiming our energy doesn’t happen by accident, and it’s not always easy. But, every day there are golden opportunities for us to get back our energy. Avoid the 24/7 always on lifestyle, turn off lights, music, TV, and most importantly, the mind.

While you’re at it, stay away from conversations with people who only want to talk about how messed up the world is. The more you obsess about something, the faster you’ll bring more of it into your life, if you get what I mean. And every time we do this, we just suck away our energy.

Seek friends who uplift and support, make you smile and laugh. Avoid friends who infringe on your space, covet your time, suck your energy, and give nothing in return. In short, avoid anything that brings you imbalance, fatigue, and illness, no matter how pleasurable or intoxicating it may seem.

Treat your body like the most expensive Ferrari. It’s not enough to just avoid putting negative influences into our body. We need to put the best fuel into our bodies we can. We can start by drinking more water and eating nutrient foods that give energy, try eating less packaged and processed food.

Live your own life
Avoid saying, doing, and becoming something only because it’s what others want to see and hear. It takes too much energy to live your life for someone else.

Live a conscious life
Avoid doing work you don’t want to do, avoid places you don’t want to go, or situations that no longer serve your needs. Being conscious of what you do every day puts you on a path to finding your purpose in life, which will energise every other part of your life.

Treat yourself well
That could mean anything. Chocolate. Massage. Day off. Eight hours sleep. Flowers in the house or a cup of tea whatever it may be do it! It also means letting go of self-judgment.

When talking about yourself (or to yourself), use only positive, energising, and encouraging words.
