VOL 26 – ENERGY

In the darker days we started thinking alot about energy; our own physical energy, other peoples and the energy that we bring with us. We are energetic beings and need to respect that much more than we actually do. 

In yoga it is called prana in chinese medicine it is called chi (qi). We do not have an endless supply of energy and we need to understand that and work to both manage our energy and find ways to increase it by regulating stress, moving our bodies, meditating daily, breathing deep, eating well and sleeping well.

But energy is more than just this physical supply, there is also this intangible energy or vibe that we bring to the table. This has an effect on everyone around us and can either lift people up or bring them down. Our aura, our emotional state, our vibration. This cannot be faked, however much you put on a happy face and effects every person thats around you. We need to put work in to keep our energy high, both physical and vibrationally. We can use all of the same tools as above work to lift us up on that level, but also things like forgiveness (to yourself & others), gratitude and clear boundaries.

So take a moment and reflect on your energy levels and explore what you can do to increase you overall energy 

1. How much physical energy do you feel you have on a normal day? (1-10)

2. How do you think your energy/vibration is for other people? (If you are not sure ask an hones person in your life)(1-10)

3. How much mental energy do you have? (1-10)

4. Why do you feel exhausted or tired sometimes/always? 

5. What can you do to change this?

6. Where do you need to put down boundaries/say no/change something?

7. What do you need to start, to increase you energy supply and vibration?

Make a promise to yourself to respect your energy more this month!
