six secret of High-Energy People
theres an energy crisis in America,and it has nothing to do with fossil fuels.Millions of us get up each morning already weary over waht the day holds.I just cant get started.people say.But its not physical energy that most of us lack.sure,we caould all use extra sleep and a better diet.But in truth,people are healthier today than at any time in history.I can almost guarantee that if you long for more energy,the problem is not with you body.
What youre seeking is not physical energy.Its emotional energy.Yet,sad to say.life sometimes semm designed to exhaust our supply.We work too hard.We have family obligations.We encounter emergenciees and personal crises.No wonder so many of us suffer from emotional fatigue,a kind of utter exhaustion of the spirit.
And yet we all know people who are filled with joy.despite the unplaeasont cricumstance of their lives.Even as a child.i observed people who were poor,or disabled,or ill,but who nonethess face lief with optimism and vigor.Condsider Lanra Hillenbrand,who,despite an extremely weak body.wrote the best-seller seabiscuit.Hillenbrand barely had enough physica energy to drag herself out of bed to write.But she was fueled by having a stroy she wannted to share.It was emotional energy that helped her succeed.
Unlike physical energy,which is finite and diminished with age,emotional energy is unlimited and has nothing to do with genes or upbringing.So how do you get it?You cant simply tell yourself to be postive.You must take action.Her are six practical stategies that work.
1 Do something new.
Very little thats new occurs in pur lives.The impact of this sameness on our emotional energy is gradual,but huge:its like a tire with a slow leak.You dont notice it at first.but eventually youll get a flat.its up to you to plug the leak――even though there are always a dozen reasons to stay stuck in your dul routines of life.Thats where Maura,36,a waitress,fould herself a year age.
Fortunately,Maura had a lifeline――a group of women friends who meet regularly to discuss their lives.Their lively discussions spurred Maura to make small but nevertheless life-altering change.She joined a gym in the next town.She changed her look with a shart haircut and new black T-shirts.Eventually,Maura gathered the courage to quite her job and start her own business.
Heres challenge:IF its something you wouldnt ordinarily do,do it.Try a dish youve never eaten.Listen to music youd ordinarily tune out.Youll discover these small things add to you emotional energy.
5.Make up your mind.
Say youve been thinking about cutting your hair short,Will it look stylish――or too exterme? You endlessly think it over .Having the decidion hanging over your
head is a huge energy drain.Every time you cant decide you burden yourself eith alternatives.Quit thinking that you have to make the right decision ;instead,make a choise and dont look back.
6.Give to get.
Emotional energy has a kind of magical quality:The more you give,the the more you get back.This is the difference between emotional and physical energy.With the latter ,you have to get it to be able to give it ,With the former,howerever,you get it by giving it.
Start by asking everyone you meet ,How are you?as if you really want to know,then listen to the reply.Be the one who hears.Most of us also need to smile more often.If you dont smile at the person you love frist thing in the morning .youre sucking energ y out of your relationship .Finally,help another person-and make the healp real.comcretc.Give a massage(按摩)to someone you love,or ,cook her dinner.Then expand the circle to work.Try asjing yourself what youd do if you goal were to be helpful rather than efficient.
After all, if it s true that what goes around comes around .Why nit make sure that whats circulating around you is the good stuff?
