Life energy is as important to us as life-blood. Our energy consists of three different types:
physical, intellectual, and emotional.
Physical energy provides stamina, allows for feeling fully rested, and
fuels alertness. Intellectual energy powers
the mind – thought processes, information processing, and creativity. Emotional energy manages stress, brings
patience, and helps navigate through difficult situations. It is so important to avoid things that drain
energy, especially self-induced things like worrying about the future or things
that have happened in the past. It is
also draining to be overly hard in self-judgment or in judging others. When low in energy, think of things that
bring happiness and calmness into your life.
This may differ from person to person.
Some examples: talking to a friend, going for a walk outside, listing to
a favorite song, treating oneself to lunch, yoga, exercise, meditation. No matter how busy the day looks, the short
break will pay dividends in providing renewed energy to face the day’s
challenges.
