Want more energy? Stay aware!
You’ve probably heard the following (good) advice on how to have more energy:
- Get enough sleep
- Eat higher quality foods; avoid sugar, refined, and processed foods
- Exercise regularly
- Do something you’re passionate about
- Find ways to help others
- Avoid people or situations that drain you
Where does awareness fit in all of this?
It’s actually the pre-requisite to any other recommendation. To prevent yourself from sliding into the oblivion of blind habits and inertia, you need to spot when you’re starting to lean in a direction that will rob you (sooner or later) of your quality of life.
Inertia comes naturally to us humans, and we have two defenses against it: constructive habits, and awareness.
Let’s look at how awareness can help the situation I talked about in the last post, namely that “being nice” can be quite draining. That happens mainly because nice people tend to be constantly monitoring other people’s feelings and taking it upon themselves to smooth things over as needed.
How can you change or at least minimize such a natural tendency and ingrained habit? Only by catching yourself doing it and reminding yourself that you’re taking on responsibility that isn’t yours. In other words, you need to be aware of what you think and feel otherwise you’ll go down the well-worn path.
But by staying aware, you are able to correct your thinking, refuse burdens that aren’t your own, and conserve your energy for your own priorities.
