InnerSelf.com - Increasing Your Energy Levels

Awareness itself is a great source of energy, for your state of awareness directly changes the pattern of your brain activity. Good healthy nutrition and conscious eating are another source of energy and healing. Our ideal is to be vitalized by all these sources.

But without some training and conscious introspection, most of us do not use all of these sources. Instead, once we sense our energy is running low, we let our search for more energy get directed by unconscious habits and emergency reflexes. Surrounded by junk food and instant everything, we often make poor choices and end up losing energy instead of gaining it.

Not knowing how to tap our core energy, some of us rely on stirring up an emotional storm within ourselves. The resulting emotional outburst releases energy but, like a bad storm, devastates everything in its path -- a short-term gain, but an enduring loss that actually depletes our energy. In order to get and stay vitalized and healthy for the long run, however, we need to cultivate effective energy regeneration strategies. Like a flowing stream, we need constant renewal to live well.
