Are you dipping into your savings account, without even knowing it?
The body has a certain amount of energy reserves that we dip into consistently. We don’t realize this though, because we are just living our lives. So just living life, costs us an energy load. The only time people recognize something is wrong, is when their energy gets depleted. This is when we start to get sick, our brain gets foggy, or we get tired.
The best analogy to use for the fluctuation of energy is money. People are very sensitive to this topic and they understand the concept of a bank account very well. This is how I get people to recognize the energy that they are using.
So let’s start off by referring to our energy as a bank. This only goes so far, but we only notice it when we go into the ‘negative’ state. In this state, when we are sick, we try our best to get out of the low energetic phase to get into the positive energetic phase, yet we are using so much more energy to do this. This is energy that we don’t have access to. So without recognizing it, you borrow energy from tomorrow to pay for today.
When you enter ‘sick season’ without storing more energy beforehand, you become susceptible to actually getting sick. Once you get any symptom, the body has to use energy to get rid of it, so it has to work hard to achieve this. If you don’t have enough energy supply for this to work, you end up going too far into the negative energetic levels and as a result, it will take a long while for you to get back out.
You cannot afford to have your energy levels plummet for a long period of time, where you are sitting in bed for a week. So here are a few steps you can take to prevent this from happening:
- Inventory
When you get sick, take an inventory of everything that is happening in your life. Where is your energy load from the start being focused on? Make sure you are using the right amount of energy for certain things. Whether you are going for a walk, working out, or going to work, all these things can be good for you, but they might be depleting your energy more than you want or need.
- Foresee Future Events
Recognize what will take your energy away, in the future. You want to make sure you have allotted your energy for these possibilities so you are not going below the standard energy level.
- What Gives Energy?
Pinpoint the things that instead, give you more energy and make you more active throughout your day.
By doing these things, you can understand how to fill your bank account back up with energy so you don’t fall apart on yourself. In turn, this will prevent you from getting sick all the time because you will have enough energy to pull yourself out of the trenches, when you see the symptoms.
Takeaway:
What’s going on in your life? Make sure you are taking an inventory of the things you are doing that might be depleting your energy. Is there anything in the near future that you can see might be drawing energy from your bank account? If so, make sure you prepare for that by allotting energy for certain things. Finally look for the things that give you energy and focus on that to help you get out of the low energetic valleys when you feel sickness is coming.
