Put a jump in your step!How many of us would like to experience more energy, more strength and a greater sense of vitality on a daily basis?

Well, over the next few weeks we will be uncovering some secretes to maximising our vitality and energy! Instead of feeling worn out and tired at the end of the day, too tired to take time for ourselves or others we will look at proven steps to help us experience optimal energy!

Before we can discuss what enhances our energy levels we need to take a look at what robs our energy! Ask yourself, as you look at your life, what drains your energy? What robs you of getting the things you want to get done? What limits you in living your life with unlimited energy? What prevents you from connecting with the things that are truly rewarding, meaningful, purposeful and satisfying? For many of us who live stressful and busy lives the energy we need for our ?real? priorities is usually running close to empty!

Below is some compelling information from expert life coach Cheryl Richardson, and author of ?Take Time for your life? who helps us understand how to assess your current energy levels. She encourages us to ?Imagine that inside your body exists an inner ?energy? or ?fuel? gauge, like a car. As you go about your daily activities your energy gauge elevates or declines depending upon what amount of energy is available. Like a car, driving along the road, we can determine how much fuel or energy is in the gas tank by looking at our fuel gauge. If we are low, we pull over and refuel, if we have enough we may drive a little faster or longer. Similarly when we work hard or have a significant amount of stress our energy levels decrease. When we rest, or eat healthy or connect with others, or laugh our energy levels increase.

Every action, every thought, every moment of our lives requires energy?.and we are either restoring and replenishing ourselves or we are draining or robbing our energy reserves. Before we can truly make significant changes in our lives and live our priorities, nurturing our bodies, minds and souls?we must take some time to consider what replenishes our lives and what drains our precious resource of energy.

For most of us we think of physical activities as draining our energy levels, which is true, but this is only a portion of the amount of energy drain that we experience on a daily basis. Various activities such as worrying, or arguing or procrastinating or being disorganized can significantly impact our energy levels leaving us worn out, burnt out and too tired to take care of ourselves and others!
