How to Keep Your Energy Up and Your Optimism High

I am always asked how I keep my energy up, how I maintain great energy and how I stay optimistic even though circumstances would appear otherwise.

Here are my suggestions:

 7 Tips to Keep Your Energy Up!

 Remember: Mood and energy follow blood sugar so ~ stay away from the sweets. Candy and sweets rob your vital energy:

 Keep your energy high. Have a protein snack every 3 hours

    * nuts, seeds, a hard boiled egg,
    * nut butter on a cracker or
    * strips of cold turkey, chicken or beef

    * Breathe: Every hour stop and take 10 deep breaths. Go to an open window or a doorway and breathe in some fresh air. Take a short brisk walk if you can.

    * Massage the “chi” point on the fleshy part of your thumb which dispel a headache or clear foggy thinking. This reminds us that we are all an energy system.

    * Place 3 fingers from each hand on your forehead
. This brings energy to the frontal lobes – the present moment and out of the past. Repeat the affirmation: I am well, healthy, happy and productive.

    * B vitamins boost energy: use a sublingual B spray 2 x a day – mid morning and mid afternoon.

    * At 3pm avoid coffee – choose herbal tea and a handful of nuts.

    * Check in emotionally
. Ask the question to whom, where or what am I expending my vital energy?

 
Remember that life is a process. Something good is always coming. Look for the good in every moment. A feather landing at your feet, a found coin, an unexpected phone call or a visit from a friend is a sign that “The universe is with you.” Storms have come and we have always weathered them. Everything is connected and everyone is a link in the chain of your life.

Be the magnet that draws good things into your life.

    I use Cellfood Multivitamin spray, which contains all the B vitamins along with trace minerals and oxygen, which immediately gives me a boost of energy. It's available in health food stores.

    Cheers,

    Caroline,

    Thanks for the great suggestions. Massaging the acupoint at fleshy part of the crook of the thumb and forefinger is a great idea. It works for so many different health concerns.

    Cheers,

    This was my conclusion: Like all financial crises there will be a period where

    markets will face a downward momentum, probably reaching below

    where the equilibrium correction level should be.bouncy balls |cosmetic packaging
