Whether you have been spending too much of your own Energy on Energy sapping activities, boredom, or Energy sapping
thoughts, how do you recover? The Pure Life Energy you are made of, that your Spirit is made of, comes directly from the Source of All Energy. It is Intelligent, Substance and Pure Energy. It is your I AM Presence. It is your Free Will. It is boundless. It is a great help to you and me to remember this. Energy has many forms and ways it regenerates Itself.
Signs of low Energy are stress, anxiety, panic, panic attacks, depression, frustration, fear and anger, just to name a few symptoms. You do not have to stay in this low vibration of life if you do not want to. It is not up to someone else to get you out of this Energy slump. It is not up to waiting until one glorious day, you discover that you finally have Energy as one of the courses I took erroneously pontificated.
The biggest waste of money I ever spent on obtaining Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) for my therapy business, was when I took an 8 hour certification class on psychological health, specifically dealing with depression and low Energy symptoms. I almost ran out of this well-meaning, but ignorant class when the pinnacle point on how to get out of depression was to do nothing, absolutely nothing. The reason for this, the teacher said, was that the fact is, if you do absolutely nothing, eventually, one day, when a new breeze blows in and the stars all align (she didn’t say the breeze and star part), happiness will return on its own.
From that statement on during my 8 hour stint in my chosen seat, I felt intense anger at the truth of the matter that, yes, in fact, if you do absolutely nothing, in a week, a month or a year, eventually you will have more Energy and the happiness that results. This knowledge was supposed to soothe the savage soul of depression and the like.
BUT WHY SHOULD YOU HAVE TO WAIT A WEEK, A MONTH OR A YEAR TO HAVE MORE ENERGY AND FIND HAPPINESS, WHEN ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS THE FOLLOWING THINGS:
MOODS: Begin with your thinking. Moods follow thoughts – ALWAYS. It is never the other way around. If you do not like how you are feeling, change what you are thinking about. Yourself will argue with yourself about this. Usually the next thought is, “This is not true. This cannot be. I have tried this before. This won’t work.” This is your ego rearing its head because your ego does not like change. Your ego wants to be right. Even if you are miserable, the ego is comfortable with what it knows. Rock the boat with your ego and you will have that two-year-old temper tamtrum inside yourself. The key is to not let the ego win. To say to yourself, “This is the mood I am in, because this is how I am feeling,” is to stay in this mood that you do not want. You might think it is good to validate whatever mood you are in. Remember, what you think about you bring about. The feelings about the thoughts you are having is what is creating your moods. Moods do not ultimately cause you to feel the way you do; thoughts bolstered by your feelings do. Yes, you CAN change yout thoughts. You can get more Energy, even in the toughest of situations.
THOUGHTS: Nothing raises your Energy faster that changing what you are thinking about. Take a moment to notice what you think about most of your day. What are you allowing in to your consciousness, subconscious and super conscious mind on a consistant basis? I know, I am still speaking about the varous aspects of ego. The idea is you have a choice of HOW you take in information, AND, what you think, say and do after that. Ignorance is not bliss. You and I do need to be aware of what is going on within us, under our own roofs, in our communities, in our countries and in the world at large. But HOW we deal with this information must be conscious, on-purpose thoughts. Re-Member your I AM Presence, your Spirit, which is the kingdom of God WITHIN YOU (Luke 17:21). Unless your next thoughts are positive and constructive, these thoughts will sap the Energy Field, first around you, then settle within your mind, body and soul. Your thoughts get “ill” before your body gets “ill.” Your Spirit remains the Source of your Energy, your I AM Presence, because it is your direct line to the Source of All Energy. So when you finally get sick and tired of being sick and tired, or not wanting to put up with the things and thoughts you have been putting up with, which are bringing you down, you decide to CHANGE HOW YOU ARE THINKING, SAYING AND DOING, and think, say and do something else. Then, a fresh breeze sweeps through your mind. New ideas are born.
WORDS: After your thoughts, nothing can build you up or tear you down faster that how you choose to use your spoken and unspoken words (Unspoken words, of course, are thoughts). What do you spend your waking hours talking about? Do you gossip? When you see dysfunction around you, do you speak of constructive problem solving? Do you SPEND your energy on THE EMOTION of your words? Do you speak words of wisdom? How do you convey your words? Do your words convey joy? Do your words convey fear? Do your words speak Truth? Do you use your words as a means of control? Do you use your words as a weapon? Do you use your words as a soothing balm in hurtful situations? Do your words hold judgments? Ponder how you use your words, written or spoken. The spoken words have the benefit of tone and inflection. Words spoken in person have the benefit of your eyes meeting the eyes of those you are speaking with, which also better provide the intention of the words you say. The written word comes across much more harsh. Our minds can twist the tone and intention of the writer, based on our own experiences, or lack of experiences. WORDS ARE POWER. Jesus is known as the Word, for example. Words are a form of Energy. Words are the manifestation of our fertilized thoughts. Our Words have the Power to make things happen, or stop them in their tracks. Careful and conscious use of our Words are key to building up our Energy Field around us, as well as infusing Love and Light Energy from the Source of All Good, into our lives.
ACTIONS: We spend and receive Energy by the actions we choose to take. Actions done for positive, life-affirming goals brings an equal measure of Energy to your Spirit. There is a sense of satisfaction that blesses your Spirit, as with a job well done. It is a direct result of the Law of Cause and Effect, or the Law of Karma. Some people call this seed faith planting. It is the basic premise of giving and receiving. It works for good and lack of good. It simply works. Actions taken with misqualified or dark intention saps your Energy. Re-Member, Energy comes from the SOURCE of ALL ENERGY, which is boundless. I specify “Re-Member” in this exact presentation of the Word Remember, because, again, you have Energy from the Source of ALL Energy. You are Re-Membering yourself, aligning yourself with this Source, of which you are intricately a part. When you decide to work with this Boundless Energy, you will be filled to the brim with the same Energy. As soon as your thoughts sink to the lowest common denominator, feelings of self-sabotage set in, words mimic the thought patterns, followed by in-action or loss of drive to do anything. Actions taken without previous Thoughts and Words can be rash and self-sabotaging. Have you ever spent your Energy in retribution, or on dark or negative goals? That is like shooting yourself in the foot. Lingering Thoughts hang around, going over and over things you might wish you did differently, again sapping your energy. You may accomplish the sinister goal, but it will not only sap your Energy, it puts you on the defense, requiring you to keep up the negative attitude or justification of similar thoughts and words, day after day, and year after year, which are ultimately draining.
This is nothing new. We see in our lives and in the world areas that are calling for our attention. How are we to respond? This is important. You and I will have the measure of Energy with which we are dealing or not dealing with the situations Life presents us with. LOVE is the Energy that is the most powerful, life sustaining, and Life generating. Lack of LOVE in all its hideous forms is the fastest drain of Energy.
If you want more Energy, decide to use your Thoughts, Words and Actions to build up, not tear down.
Namaste
The God in Me recognizes the God in you.
Have a beautiful day!
