GET YOUR ENERGY BACK

I'll admit it, having enough energy for yourself to meet all the demands you have going on can be a challenge. Are you feeling more and more tired, sluggish, and rundown? Likely so. Can you remember a time when you woke up feeling energized and refreshed every morning for an entire week or month? Likely not. Recent studies have shown that women are experiencing more stress, feelings of overwhelm, and increased anxiety more so in the last two years. Likely due to the uncertainty of the global pandemic coupled with everyday life issues. And it doesn't seem to be letting up. So, what's the solution?
Here are 3 Truths to Get Your Energy Back:

• Truth #1- You are the secret to your success

The way you operate, the habits you keep, the priority you put on whatever you are doing has alot to do with whether or not you will enjoy success in a certain area of your life.  I can hear motivational speaker Eric Thomas saying, "Where your focus goes, your energy flows." This simply means you have to want to have more energy and vitality and do those things you know to do to get it. Your success is directly tied to what you believe and what you do with what you believe. What are you doing to foster having more energy? Are you just going with the flow of life? In what area of the Six Pillars of Vitality can you make an adjustment to get to where you want to be? Think about the success you can have if you had more energy! More time to spend with your family and doing the things you love to do.

• Truth #2- Life is as hard as you think it is

​Yes, it may seem that life is hard right now. You may not be where you want to be, or doing the things you want to be doing, or seeing the return on your investments that you have freely given in to. But don't fret! It's no over. As long as you're alive, your situation can change. That loss can turn into a win. That denial can turn into a better opportunity. That relationship struggle can turn into a better friendship down the line. You don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. All you have is today. So, make the most of it! Don't think about how hard it is to get up, work a full day, and take care of your family, and have enough energy at the end of the day to do something for yourself- think about that you get to do all those things. It's a small but mighty mindset shift.

• Truth #3- An energetic life starts with good health- physically, mentally, and spiritually

It's no secret that in order to live a life of longevity, you cannot neglect yourself. Revered Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr even said that "longevity has its place". Now is the time to get started working on yourself and your wellness goals so that you can have more energy and be healthier, function better under stress, and know what it truly means to guard your heart and mind and experience spiritual peace.
Summary
No matter where you are in life or how far behind you feel you are, it's never too late to make a change and move forward in the right direction. I can relate to this in my own life right now. Whether starting a new job (or losing an old one), a new class, or a new venture, you may be feeling the pressure to perform or the pains of loss. Either way, it's a difficult place to be in. Difficult yes, but not impossible. I believe nothing is impossible with God on your side and a will to thrive.
Make a decision to work on yourself-- work on your attitude, your health, work on your shortcomings- those little things that may be holding you back from giving your all and becoming the woman you were destined to be.
In short, Don't Be Afraid to Be Great!
