Most of us don’t believe that we can feel fully alive
The shockingly sad and true post title is a quote from a book called “High Energy Living” by Robert K. Cooper. Most of us accept this either because we’ve forgotten what it feels like to really feel good, and/or because we don’t know how we can change.
Sure we can reduce stress for a while, go on vacation or even, if you want to get fancy, do biofeedback sessions, but those things don’t last; they don’t solve most of our lives. We know this from experience.
We also believe that we don’t have space in our schedules to squeeze in time for stress-reducing practices. If we tried to meditate, a lot of us would probably spend the time going over our to-do lists. Dr. Cooper acknowledges that reality and suggests a number of techniques that can be fitted into our modern lives.
According to the author, we have more than one kind of energy. Here are the four that he lists, along with their opposites:
Calm (being in the flow; low tension and high energy) vs. tense (caffeine and adrenaline -deadline rush) energy
Active (alert, resilient, and moving) vs. reserved (immobile) energy
Sensory (present, aware, engaged in life) vs. routine (in a rut) energy
Heartfelt (meaningful) vs. surface (shallow) energy
To revitalize our life, we need to the levels of all four energy types, and Dr. Cooper gives 21 different tools to do so. I’ll give examples of these tools in the next posts.
