Energy
Power Up
Delicious Living Magazine, December 2005
"From energy-boosting supplements to "power"
drinks and espresso shots, sales are booming for high-tech, quick fixes for
those feeling depleted by their hectic, rush-hour lifestyles. In our stressful
rush, we've become disconnected from nature and alienated from our natural or
"indigenous" selves that intuitively know what we need. As a result,
we tend to ignore the basics, from breathing fully and drinking enough water to
showing compassion. Chronic underoxygenation, dehydration, and sedentary habits
not only contribute to heart disease and cancer, but they are also behind common
complaints such as fatigue, insomnia, depression, anxiety, and weight gain. The
answer is not fitness fanaticism or compulsive dieting, but a conscious shift to
mind-body awareness."
The Eight Gateways to Energy
-
Practice relaxation techniques for five minutes every
morning.
-
Breath deeply, through your nose.
-
Dring at least eight glasses of water, spaced throughout the
day.
-
Savor your food. Become aware of using food to suppress
painful feelings like anxiety or loneliness, or as a substitute for unmet
needs.
-
As you exercise, visualize yourself as you wish to become.
-
Get out in nature, even just lie down on the grass and pay
attention to what you feel.
-
Be fully present in your relationships.
-
Practice altruism, be it tending to a garden or a pet or
helping others.
