HOW TO: Adjust your ENERGY LEVELS ~

ENERGY

FOCUS, DESIRE, MOTION

Sunday morning, coffee is hot... uh oh... what happened to Saturday? Went so quickly it seems! Ah, quiet and lovely morning . . . relax mode... waiting for the energy of the day to buzzzzzz ....
Speaking of Energy...
are you ready for the top three of American Idol??? Oh my can you even imagine American Idol without my Simon Cowell??? Whatever will I do without Simon??? Oh no, I can't even consider that on this beautiful Sunday morning... Let's just leave it at this.. I said from the first night... Crystal is the next American Idol, so I guess we'll just see if America gets it right! LOL That young woman does have a set of pipes to be certain ~

Olivia was a little "bull dog" on that soccer field defending the goal ~ Nope, not a point was made when she was defending the post! And what focus when she kicked that ball I'm thinking... what beautiful form, and energy ... fluidity in motion... that's Nana's girl ...
OK, here I go with the thoughts of the morning...
REady???
Adjust your own energy level!


Here’s an eye opener.
We each own the ability to dial up, or down, own energy level. It’s easy, like the volume control on the stereo. Dial it up, turn it down. Just that simple. WOW... and to think, first cup of coffee... Feelin me already??? LOL


Motion is energy. Emotion too often controls energy levels because we let it. Dragging yourself through the day? Ramp up the energy level. Put your body in motion. Step it up. Again we return to the STOMP. DANCE, work it out physically.

You can do it.
If you supercharge the energy you are physically putting out, your mood will follow.
Start slow, build up. After all it is early ~ ~ ~

The more energy you produce, the more energy you will have.




It’s always there, waiting in the toolbox.

Get a little momentum building and you will unleash your own energy, it's right there... WITHIN YOU, you are a Warrior remember?

Running full out all week and need a quiet moment?
Dial it back.
Breath deep, slow it down, reel it back.
              B  R  E  A  T  H  E
B         R        E         A        T          H           E

See how this works?



You are in charge.
                            Own your personal power.
              Choose the energy level you need or want.
 Why on earth would we move through the day without taking advantage of our own ability to govern this momentum?
Put a little pep in your step just because you can.
Peel yourself off the ceiling and quiet yourself because you choose to.
We often think that some external force announces how much energy we wake up with in the morning, or end up with at the close of our day.
Not so, my friends.
We either take a passive stance, and just exist without purposefully identifying our own control, or we own it. Create what we want and need.
                        I will always choose to own it.


Know that emotions are a huge part of all this.
Change your mood, change your energy and you will change your day.
 If you are sad and down, want a lift, start the change with some physical activity or movement.


No, I am not talking about exercise.
And yes, I get that many people feel that they are allergic to “exercise”.
                                 I get that.
Because we often consider exercise to be boring, repetitious and “good for you” in a punitive way. I of course am talking about movement other than structured repetitive drudgery. Here, I am talking about the easy stuff, twirling, dancing, stomping, clapping, beating the drum! Put some sound with it. Chant, or sing, or hum, or stomp. Whatever works for you. Get moving. Move your body and rest your brain.

Call up some energy because you can.
Because you need it, or want it. Ready to move that body from the inside out ~ Are you sure? >>><<<
NOW... ONLY click here is you really want to call up spirit and get the energy moving you this morning ~ ~ ~

This I promise you that this is not rocket science nor will win us a nobel prize.
Hold your head up, put a smile on your face and turn your day around.
Motion reflects emotion, so, if you feel despondent, use your motion to move yourself out of that place.
Crank up the dial.
          Energize yourself!
                     Trust me, your mood will be elevated.
Hard to keep your head and heart down once you get your body really going.


In the reverse, sit quietly to wind down, feel, really feel, each muscle relax. This usually takes a bit longer than ramping it up.
                                         Be still.
           Be really still.
Get your mind quiet by focusing on your body.
I start with my toes. Mostly because they are the most distant from my crazy, busy head, when I find myself mentally hanging onto the knot at the end of my own rope. At any rate, once your toes are relaxed and happy, work on their closest friends, the feet. Then the calves, the rest of the legs, and on up the body. This is a common strategy. The whole process takes time. The time you spend doing this with real concentration is partly why it works.
Lots of practitioners use this to lead us to a relaxed state. The more often we do it, the less time it takes to work our way up to the often too tense shoulders and face. So, again, practice. I find that doing this in a quiet space helps too.

Can’t see getting to this state of utter relaxation while sitting at a traffic light. Oprah will agree with me on this one I just know she will!!!




You may be surprised that once your body is relaxed, once you have physically let the stress go, you can sit quietly, in a relaxed and dreamy state and just enjoy letting your thoughts drift and float about, without your having to work at it. The trick here is to stay on task. If intrusive thoughts jump up, brush them away. They are an old habit. Gently let them go, get back to working one little muscle at a time. If you find that you have dozed off, that’s OK too. A little refreshing nap never hurt anyone.


So whether you need to ramp it up and grab hold of the energy you already have stored deep inside, or you are already so cranked up, you need or want to reel it back in.
You choose. I believe in a persons right to choose...
You pilot your own spaceship. You are powerful. You are already all you need to be.




Be well, be happy, make the right choices.
Make this moment count for you. Get a handle on how you call up your own energy. You are the one with the energy dial. It’s always with you, ever ready to make the necessary adjustments.

OK, speaking of choosing... today I am choosing to hitting the water, the gulf waters are calling ~ ~ ~
yep, goin out on the water ... the day will be filled with energy, need to pack the cooler, get out the lotion, the music . . .
