I’m passionate about food. I’m especially passionate about eating healthy, organic food. That passion hopefully overcomes the passion for sugar and junk food I seem to have. I’ve gotten to the point that if I really like a food, I figure it must have sugar in it — and I’m usually right. 🙂
Your Mileage May Vary (YMMV)
Following your passion is the common advice given to people to help them on their path to success and happiness. I wonder, and hear others wonder, “How do you do that?” because I don’t always know which zeal to use on my path to accomplishment and satisfaction. You may have that same question or concern.
Music Lifts Mood and Energy
Music has been in my life for as long as I can remember — and that’s a long time; my memories go back as far as 1-1/2 years old. Singing along with records, TV programs (there were lots of those in those days), and musicals was my way of life. I didn’t sing well, but I loved it!
Serendipity
Last week I wrote about how chaos and clutter can drain your energy. A reader responded with the notion that you miss out on spontaneous events when you schedule your day too rigidly. Scheduling your day is intended to help you avoid the energy thief of chaos by controlling it, by herding the cats.
Chaos Theory
Is it your habit or style to keep tidy, orderly surroundings? Or, does chaos and clutter rule your life? I swing between the two, depending on my level of busyness. And my energy swings right along with the chaos or orderliness.
If The Shoe Fits
The ugly stepsisters learned that they couldn’t put their feet in the glass slipper, despite the handsome prince’s best efforts. Cinderella had no problem putting her foot into the slipper, though, because for her it was a perfect fit.
Life is like that — some things fit, and some don’t. Learning new lessons and habits, and ways of living, and working follow that same pattern — some things fit, and some don’t. I know that’s been true for me.
Activating Your Gratitude For More Energy
Do you have an attitude of gratitude? Is it energizing?
Wayne Dyer taught me a powerful lesson — after he died. He taught be about starting my day with gratitude in a way I’d never done before. It was much simpler than other approaches I’d practiced before. Consequently, it was more satisfying and energizing.
Top 4 Essentials for Quality Sleep in an Energized Life
One of the prime energy supporters in your life is sleep. Specifically, quality sleep. If it’s not quality, the amount of sleep you get isn’t as relevant as you might think.
How do you rate your sleep quality? Do you sleep soundly throughout the night, toss and turn, or lay there thinking? Or something other?
Transforming Your Life
You don’t have energy, you generate it. I liked that conviction when I first heard it, and have repeated it many times.
It makes total sense. As with any generator, you need specific things to generate your energy: fresh air, food, water, and the desire or attitude of energy. That last element may be the most important for living an energized life.
Rituals For An Energized Life
Are rituals part of your life? Maybe you’d like to better understand what I’m asking before you commit to an answer. In my way of thinking, a ritual is a prescribed or established rite, ceremony, proceeding, or service. Lots of things that happen in religious establishments qualify as rituals too, but that’s not specifically what I’m talking about here.
