Achieving Total Wellness Now

It seems like a paradox but it is true.  If you want to get energy you have to give it.

Many of us can claim to feel listless and lethargic at times.  We know that there is a task like exercise or cleaning that needs our attention but the couch looks so much better.

If we succumb to the temptation to lie down and “blow off” the high energy task, the immediate gratification of just relaxing will be wonderful but we will have to deal with the guilt consequences later.  Yet we really do not have the energy to do anything right now.

I am all too familiar with this feeling.  I have spent a lifetime dealing with it and I suspect that I am in a lot of good company.

This may seem like a paradox and it’s similar to love in many cases in that you must first give in order to receive.  If you want to have energy you must give energy.

Inspiration does not come to a lazy, wandering mind; love does not come to a closed heart; and energy does not come to an inert body.  You must first make yourself start moving.

As a lifelong exerciser, I cannot tell you all the times I did not feel like going to the gym or the high school track.  I felt like I could lie down and sleep anywhere at those times.  In truth, some of my best workouts came on days like that and I felt full of energy afterwards.

I know it’s difficult; but get up and get moving!  The energy is in you.  It’s just in passive mode until you start to tap into it.  The good news is that the more you do this the more energy you will be able to command on a regular basis.
