Energy-Rechargers for Winners
Want more energy so you can live a more fulfilling life? Energy
is life's fuel! According to Benjamin Franklin, "Energy and
persistence alter all things."
Buckminster Fuller believed that real wealth is ideas plus
energy. He is famous for designing the lightest, strongest and
least expensive manmade structure - the geodesic dome. It can
cover more space without inner supports than any other structure
and it can be put together very rapidly. In Honolulu in 1957 a
full house listened to a concert 22 hours after the delivery of
the dome's parts. Buckminster Fuller make a remarkable
contribution to architecture, but he needed energy to do it.
What could you achieve with more energy?
Here are 12 energy renewers to help you achieve more in life:
Your physical health rechargers:
1. Eat and drink for optimum health. Be sure to eat
well-balanced meals. Drink lots of water because dehydration can
exhaust your body of its store of energy. If you're carrying
extra weight this too can cause exhaustion. Take advantage of
nutritional supplements since there are many key nutrients that
may not be in the food you eat.
2. Spend time outdoors and improve your indoor light. Walk to a
local park or lovely recreational area on a regular basis.Open
the curtains and let in the sunshine. Purchase artificial
lighting that mimics the spectrum of the sun.
3. Seek help when you experience medical problems. A number of
medical conditions cause tiredness. Adrenal exhaustion caused by
stress, low thyroid function, anemia and hormonal inbalances are
some conditons that can cause exhaustion.
4. Get enough sleep. Be sure to get your proper amount of sleep.
Experiment to see how much you need and then stick to it so you
don't sabotage your energy by depriving yourself of needed sleep.
5. Exercise and practice proper breathing. Try to exercise at
least three times a week. Don't forget that proper breathing is
essential to your health too. Try breathing deeply instead of
shallowly. At times for relaxation take deep breaths through
your nose and then exhale through your mouth. Do this slowly and
deeply. This can be very relaxing and energizing at the same
time. It's a great stress reducer!
Your mental and emotional renewers:
1. Say goodbye to worry. Worry never helped anyone. It just
drains away needed energy. Captain J A Hadfield got it right
when he stated: "This art of resting the mind and the power of
dismissing from it all care and worry is probably one of the
secrets of energy in our great men."
2. Choose inspiring people for friends. Your friends will either
lift you up or drag you down, so choose them wisely.
3. Check your emotional health. Focus on others and learn to
develop a positive attitude toward life. Being wrapped up in
yourself is very limiting.
4. Work wisely. Work hard at your job or at your
self-employment, but don't neglect your family or your need for
recreation.
5. Don't waste your energy. Beware of energy-wasters like
holding grudges, resentment and unforgiveness. Attitudes like
these hurt you and contribute nothing worthwhile to your life.
Weed those out for energy conservation.
6. Dream big dreams. Do you have a dream? Having one can help
you to be more energetic. There's just something about having a
goal that is energizing!
7. Rise above your own strength. The Bible is full of many
promises to those who recognize their need. Here's one: Isaiah
40:31 - "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their
strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall
run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
