How to Increase Your EnergyIf you want to heal or accomplish anything, you need to increase your energy to a level that can make the dream a reality. Marketers provide various pills and potions that they claim will increase your energy, but getting more energy often requires a different perspective. Imagine you want to accumulate water in a bowl, but the bowl has a bunch of holes in it. No matter how much you increase the water supply, you will keep losing it through the leaks that drain it away. Just so, if you want to increase your energy supply, often you will get better results by plugging leaks instead of increasing input from some energy faucet. Finding the energy leaks If you want more energy, you will want to eliminate energy leaks, which mainly take the forms of beliefs and thoughts that drain your energy and lead you accumulate things and relationships that drain you. So if you are really serious about having an enchanted, magical, truly healthy life, I invite you to expand your awareness and take an inventory of your mind. To increase your energy, you must cultivate energy awareness. Become vigilant of your energy. When you notice it has dropped, start inquiring for the cause. Search your mind for a thought or belief that causes your energy to drop. You constantly have an internal dialogue, and it spews out all kinds of beliefs that you accumulated from your past, many of them from your childhood. Many of these beliefs and thoughts served you as survival tools at some point in your life, but presently they drag you down. Generally you have two types of these leaks: 1) judgments/criticisms, and 2) complaints. Whenever you judge or criticize yourself (body, mind, or spirit) you lose power. Learn to catch these thoughts and replace them with neutral or positive statements about yourself. When you complain you are expressing the idea that you are a victim of an outside force. This also drains you of power. Learn to catch complaints and replace them with action. Aside from policing your thoughts to, when dealing with the objects, people, and relationships, pay attention to how they affect your energy. When in contact, ask yourself, does this thing, person, or relationship raise my energy, or lower it? Does this feed my joy, or does it drag me into some negative emotion like depression, anger, grief, or whatever? In this process, make sure that you distinguish the effects of the person, place, or thing from the effects of your thoughts about the person, place, or thing. You may only need to address your thoughts triggered by the person, place, or thing. However, sometimes you need to get rid of or away from the person, place, or thing. Plugging the leaks If you want more energy, you will want to either clean the draining beliefs, objects, relationships, and activities out of your life, and either improve the quality of the objects, relationships, and activities in your life, or replace them with beliefs, etc. that raise your energy. Like cleaning your house, this is not always a comfortable or easy process. However, when you clean out or clean up your mind, emotions, and surroundings, you will feel your personal power grow and you will have the energy you need to go beyond healing and create a life that makes your heart sing.
