5 Ways to Managing Your Energy to Enjoy Good Health
Enjoy Good Health by Managing Your Energy When you’re not managing your energy properly, you’re likely to experience emotions such as anger, frustration, exhaustion and other emotions that can compromise your health.When you know how to manage your energy and enjoy an abundance of it your emotions will be connected, passionate, peaceful and positive. The outlook you get when you have energy to be productive and enjoy life can make a world of difference in your present and future health.There never seems to be enough time to get things done, so we exist by multi-tasking on the run. For example, you may be eating a sandwich, driving a car and talking on the telephone all at once at any given time of the day. You may have gotten done what you had on your ‘list’, but you’re probably exhausted at the end of the day.Personal energy management techniques can help produce a more natural energy and one that’s healthier for you. When you focus on the physical ways to produce energy, it serves you better than trying to get things done using ways that leave you mentally and physically depleted.Here are some simple ways to enjoy better health by managing your personal energy:1.   Get rid of energy drainers. An energy drainer might be in the form of a person or a task. Assess the people around you and distance yourself from those who leave you exhausted when you leave their presence.2.   Dance. Take a lesion from children -- move your body to some funky rhythms and reenergize your body and mind. Just a few minutes of dancing around the room will give you some much needed positive energy.3.   Learn and practice a ‘healing’ art. Energy healing sessions such as Tai Chi and Reiki are especially great for renewing the energy levels of your mind, body and spirit so that you feel better and enjoy a healthier lifestyle.4.   Discover what makes you happy. You may not be able to do what makes you happy 24/7, but you can rejuvenate your body and mind by engaging in those activities on a regular basis. You may enjoy crafts, cooking, reading, watching or playing sports. Do what makes you happy and enjoy better health.5.   Nourish your spiritual side. Take some time out of every day to nourish your spirit by a number of ways. You can commune with nature by gardening or walking or even just sitting in a garden listening to the sounds of nature. Take time to meditate and search through your soul until you feel rejuvenated.Many times we forget that keeping healthy isn’t just about diet and exercise. A positive outlook and surrounding ourselves with positive energy by managing our energy wisely can do wonders for our health.
A Reading from "An Expected End", by Amanda Creasey

A Reading from "An Expected End", by Amanda Creasey
Amanda Creasey, an accomplished educator, author, and outdoors writer, shares a poignant excerpt from her debut novel, "An Expected End." The novel is a piece of literary speculative fiction set in a near future where individuals can learn the precise moment of their death. However, Amanda emphasizes that the narrative isn't about death but centers on life, exploring themes of time, love, acceptance, and family. The excerpt takes us to the epilogue, where Marshall, the protagonist, reflects on life's transient beauty after celebrating his daughter Eden's birthday. Through Marshall's contemplation, the narrative beautifully intertwines memories of his past, the enduring impact of Penelope, and the significance of quality over quantity in the measurement of time. Amanda's writing captures the essence of being human, cherishing fleeting moments, and finding profound meaning in the ordinary.Amanda's Website: AmandaSueCreasey.comHer NewsletterHer Instagram Account: Amanda_Sue_CreaseyLinks to the book:AmazonBarnes and NobleBookshop.orgGet to Know Amanda:Amanda is a high school English teacher and the Outdoors Writer for Cooperative Living Magazine.

Visualizing a new empowered self, with David Lawson
On this episode, we share a meditation from David Lawson, a life coach from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.awakewarrior.comDavid says, "I've been there too. I know the joys and nightmares of life's journey through hard knocks, grief, trauma, and experience. My long list of triumphs and rock bottoms are my clients’ greatest assets. If you know you have to create a new reality for yourself and how you live your life, I can help you. Trust me, you’re headed somewhere great."This meditation, guided by David, aims to help listeners retrain their minds and break free from old patterns that no longer serve them. The process begins with deep, intentional breaths, drawing energy from feet to head, creating a gentle vibration throughout the body. Participants are encouraged to envision a serene place, invoking sensory experiences to induce calmness. David emphasizes the power of the conscious mind to reshape thought patterns and beliefs, urging listeners to recognize, cancel, clear, and delete old patterns of anxiety. The meditation progresses to seeking liberation from emotional chains, visualizing a new, empowered self, and setting intentions for change. David underscores the transformative ability of visualization, guiding participants to embody the envisioned new self and anchor it with a deep breath. The meditation concludes with a gradual return to awareness, encouraging participants to carry the positive energy into their day.
