Energy Theft!
by Alice Osborne
Here's something to think about at the start of what is going to be an amazing year for all of us: You've heard of Identity Theft, but what about Energy Theft! Is your "get-up-and-go" being stolen by these thieves?
Shallow breathing--not taking deep, full breaths deprives your body of oxygen and makes you feel tired and fatigued. Resolve in 2007 to breathe deeply!
Doing too much--giving to others is important, but doing too much will only make you feel burned out. It's difficult to help others when you don't have enough energy. Resolve in 2007 to get clear on what you can and can't do, then resolve not to feel guilty about saying "Thank you for thinking of me, but I won't be able to do that at this time. Please think of me again, however."
Not eating well--energy is stolen the minute you avoid healthy foods. Resolve in 2007 to nourish your body, and not just fill it up.
Worry--when you worry about things you can't control, you use up energy you could be using to enjoy your life. Resolve in 2007 to choose crossword puzzles, gardening, taking walks, counting blessings and so on, as a way to refocus and stay worry-free.
Smart ideas, huh?
