Energy And Why You Loose It!

Did you know that you can lose energy just by thinking negative thoughts or sending negative thoughts to someone else?  Why waste your energy, you need every ounce to get through the day.

Here's a fun exercise you can do to test you energy.  You'll need a friend or family member to help you.  Stand facing each other. Hold out your right arm (doesn't make any difference which arm you use) straight away from your body.  Have the other person place their right hand on your left shoulder and their left open hand, palm down on the top of your wrist.  As they apply pressure to your wrist, resist them and try not to let them push your arm down.  Your arm might give an inch or two, but if you're in a good frame of mind, it will stay pretty tight.  Now put your arms down by your side. Close your eyes and think about a time when you felt shame or sadness.  Picture you being there and reliving it.  Now hold your arm out again and have the other person try pushing your arm down again.  What happened?  Did it go down quite easily?  More than likely it did. You energy was released when you started to think about the feelings of shame or sadness.

Drop your arm again, close your eyes and think about a happy time when you were surrounded by people you love and who love you.  Picture every detail of laughing and hugging.  Now have your friend check your strength again.  Pretty strong, right?  Now you witnessed first hand the power  your mind has over your energy.

You can test your strength with food, books, music cds, and other things as well.  You've read about how raw vegetables are so nutritious and they encourage you to consume more.  I tested myself holding a carrot to my heart and was I shocked when my energy decreased.  Then I realized that carrots are loaded with sugar and being a diabetic, my mind knew my body does not produce insulin like it should and informed me that my energy would be depleted by consuming it.  I also held a cd that contained Blues music.  I enjoy Blues once in awhile, but it clearly took my energy away.

This exercise is fascinating.  Try a wide variety of different things to test.
