Energy, seems to be lacking in many people these days...........hmmm? I've always been an industrious and hardworking individual. I don't really know if it's due to good genes or the work ethic my folks instilled in us as young kids (chores galore, including weeding a large lot by hand every summer!). I've always worked.
The sustenance of my energy is a culmination of a few things: 1. Diet 2. Exercise 3. Living life to it's fullest every single day. 4. Genes.... we'll give credit where credit is due!
I was a young women once.........I had dreams, ambitions, and ENERGY! I've hiked mountains and lakes most people will never see, I've rock climbed granite slabs on mountainsides, I've back-packed in Alaska twice, I've river rafted on an Alaskan river (they are huge & ferocious), I've lived off-grid in the mountains of Washington state, hauling my own water with a wee baby in tow. I've always gardened, eaten well, and taken care of my body. I've never stopped LIVING!
Now that our children are raised and gone, I'm busier than ever. I still grow a huge garden (because I know how wonderful the veggies are), I preserve what can't be eaten, I'm an avid spinner and knitter, I belong to a weekly, women's group, I now market my yarns (which is a full-time job of it's own), I handle all the husbandry on our ranch (castrations, dockings, and illnesses), I handle all the breeding (more detailed than you might think), I clean my own house (which gets darn dirty on a ranch w/three dogs and two cats welcome indoors at any time), I maintain the lawns, flower beds, garden and watering on our ranch. I find the time in the day to meditate, do yoga & walk 3.5 miles most mornings.
Bottom line: This IS my LIFE. How can I NOT have the energy to grab it by the horns and LIVE it??? It amazes me how many people I know are awe striken by my "energy." It's not so much about having energy as it is living life, and being healthy. When you have that, you have the energy.
If you want ENERGY...........get up, get moving, do something new everyday, go for a hike, eat well and be concious of your eating, what you're eating, get plenty of sleep, drink 64 oz. of water daily, meditate for 30 minutes ..............my ENERGY runneth over because of my lifestyle. Anyone can have this, they just have to want it!
If I could tell y'll one thing about "obtaining more ENERGY" it would be to throw out all conventional foods and sugars in your pantry, cut them out of your diet, eat more organic (especially meats!!!), slowly work towards becoming completely organic in food choices.................AND......................dance, hike, do yoga............just move!
Have a happy, loving heart, and abundant life, it'll do ya good! It will be a life fulfilled!
