Wish List: Have More Energy
By Suzanne Zoglio, Ph.D., a life-balance coach, national speaker and author.
 
Having more energy makes you feel better and keeps you healthier. Studies have shown that “recharging”—whether through prayer, meditation, focused breathing, positive thinking, hobbies or other activities that focus attention—can promote faster healing, increased mental acuity, better emotional well-being and greater productivity. Here are simple ways to get more energy.

Practice morning intent.

Before getting out of bed, while showering, traveling to work or landing at your desk, set your compass for the day by answering these questions:
• What kind of person do I want to be today?
• What two to three things do I want to accomplish today?
• How can I make a difference in someone else’s life?

Complete one thing.
When we can’t think straight, it’s often because we have too much on our plate. So, complete things systematically before starting something new. Decide, act, complete.

Feed a passion.

When you engage in an activity you really enjoy, the moment is meaningful; you feel fully alive.

Stay plugged in.

Like any living thing, interpersonal connections need TLC to thrive. Give the care and feeding of close relationships as much importance as brushing your teeth: If you miss a day, it’s no big deal, but if you miss a month, you’re on your way to decay.
