The Energy You Give Is the Energy You Grow

Today was an errand and tie up loose ends day, in between the storms.

Sometimes this can seem like boring, tiring, drudgery.

But today I chose differently.

I chose to smile and offer extra kind words to people who seemed down or flustered by the weather.

Gave my Aldi cart to a lady and wouldn’t take her quarter.

I chose to look with love upon my reflection in the car window as I walked up, instead of finding negative corrections to make, like my posture or other areas I can be hard on myself about.

And you know what happened? People were nicer back, people perked up, heck, I perked up!

I listened to encouraging podcasts and fun music while driving, and when I got home, I was still energized.

Sure, I am doing all the things to help my body and mind, but these are the seemingly simple days that usually suck the energy out of me.

Learning to manage the energy around us is so key to our own energy levels.
What we let in, what we give words to, what we give thought to… all matters.
So yes! By all means do the physical work, use the tools to help.
But don’t forget the radical personal responsibility for managing your mind and your energy.
Negative is a habit.
Positive is a habit.
Both have feedback loops.
We each get to choose.

And hey-aren’t these new glasses fun? I had to test them out as soon as they came in the mail!
What’s one way you are choosing to be kind today? And don’t forget yourself.
