THE HYPE

This weeks Motivating Mindset will help you find more energy and feel more alive.


THE CHALLENGE

Your Mindset challenge this week is getting in the habit of asking yourself:
"What's one way to get more energy into my life?"


THE PROMISE

Ask yourself this question during every opportunity during the week and the promise is that you will find more energy to renew yourself and feel more refreshed overall.


THE TIPS

First thing when you get up tomorrow morning ask yourself the question, "What's one way to get more energy into my life?"

Said differently, "what is one area of my life that I can change today that will immediately result in me having more energy and enthusiasm?"

Whether comparing a molecule, a mountain or a mole we all have one characteristic in common, we are all made up of energy.

Energy is the building block of life, it is the battery power for living and yet many of us are running on less than half-capacity.

Researchers are discovering that the saying "you are what you eat" is more and more true and less and less just a cliche.

You've probably heard that energy is always changing form, moving in and out of form and can never be created or destroyed.

So when you really stop to think about that, it means that if you put in fattening food with high calories and low-nutritional value into your system what do you expect to get out?

Have you ever put in a dozen oysters into your blender and expected to get out orange juice?

Hopefully not, because you'd probably be considered crazy right? That is because in life, you can only get out what you put in.

Yet many of us still buy into this illusion when we consume junk food and expect our energy levels to be operating at optimal.

How was your energy this morning when you woke up? Did you get out of bed feeling amazing? Are you feeling recharged and ready to tackle a new day?

Take a moment and think about where you got the energy that you have for today...

If you guessed it right you said from the choices and decisions that were made in past yesterdays.

If you had a healthy meal previously you would have more energy than if you had to face the consequences of poor past choices.

The good news is that everyday brings the gift to start making healthier choices.

Therefore, today is the most important opportunity you have in terms of putting in the best quality energy that will help you achieve tomorrow's goals.

To be in the best position to achieve tomorrows goals you need to maintain good physical shape by regulating the food that's put into your body.

When you are shopping next at the grocery store, thinking about what to make for your next meal remember to ask yourself the question "What's one way to get more energy into my life?"


THE SECRET

Journeying on the road of life requires a lot of energy and since it's always best to properly prepare for a long and challenging trip.

Your responsibility is to fill up on premium gas first by eating healthy, nutritional meals and getting the required amount of rest for your body.

However when it comes to the energy you need to fully function there are more than just your basic physical type of energy to consider.

Most people believe that your physical "meat and potatoes" energy is the only energy at work on a daily basis but it is important to recognize your other sources of energy.

Another significant form of energy is what is referred to as emotional energy.

Without emotional energy your life would not be enjoyable and you wouldn't ever feel excitement or enthusiasm.

This is the type of energy that is responsible for your feelings, such as love, happiness, and joy.

Believe it or not practically everything that you say and do is largely determined in some way by an emotion, either positive or negative.

The importance of emotional energy is often under-valued and the effect that your emotions have on your physical energy is often under-estimated.

Have you ever felt happy or normal until you were consumed by guilt, anger or another negative emotion that quickly consumed all your energy?

How about have you ever felt tired but then thought of an exciting idea, project or adventure and then suddenly felt the rush of energy fill your body?

This is your emotional energy and it either works to hold you back or help motivate you forward.

You can start to reclaim your emotional energy by healing old wounds, finding positive and inspiring friendships and reducing the clutter in your environment.

The third and last type of energy is what is known as mental, it is the type of energy we use to solve problems, learn new things and make important decisions.

Your mental energy is primarily responsible for the quality of your life because you require mental energy to deal with the problems and challenges of everyday life.

In fact, the reason why most people fail to live the life of their dreams is because they burn up enormous amounts of energy at the physical and emotional level, and as a result they have very little energy left over for the critical mental activities of planning, learning and problem solving.

Just imagine the type of life you would be living if you never planned or didn't know how to problem solve!

Your number one priority one goal in life is to effectively utilize all three types of energy levels to support your ability to live the life of your dreams.

Peak performance happens when the engine of your life is firing on all cylinders. Be a mental mechanic and find out the areas you need to tune by asking yourself:

"What's one way to get more energy into my life?" and then work your but off to implement the changes to see significant improvements in your results.
