What is lacking in your life? What do you feel has been missing for a long time? It might be healthier eating habits, new variations of exercises, better relationships or a fresh new career. Choose one that feels imminently important to you right now and then set your intentions to make this your new way of living!

Sink into open, expansive mind as you release any limiting thoughts or fears that may impede the process. Be willing to take full responsibility for what you truly desire and deserve in life! You might choose a friend to help, one who could also be your cheerful cheerleader. Tell them what you plan to do and exactly when you will start. Ask if you can talk on occasion to share your progress and achievements! A heightened sense of vitality will certainly bring real freedom to your experiences in life!

Whenever you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by emotions with an over-active mind, slow down and breathe deeply. Let go of past memories and stories that keep you locked in pain. Open yourself to the bigger picture. Often there are multiple layers of challenges, including money, time, energy and even an inner critic.

As you rest in a calm state, observe what arises within. Ask yourself essential questions to clear away confusion and regain clarity. Some questions you might ask yourself are: What is present? What makes me nervous? What am I afraid of? Do I have too many expectations? What do I need to do to support balanced wellness for self? Commit to doing one thing to address one part of the problem or make a list of sequential things you can do and chart them on a calendar. Take action when the time is right. This will surely bring you one step closer to real freedom!

Real freedom is an art that requires great awareness. Pay attention when mind and body are out of sync. Observe swirls of old experiences whirling within when timely actions have not been taken in the moment. If body tension, low energy, frustration, pain or compulsions continuously arise, let go of thoughts and old thinking patterns. Whenever you feel a loss of direction and state of imbalance within, shift with necessary action needed. For instance, if tightness in chest arises whenever negative thoughts arise, focus on nourishing self through deep breathing, time in nature, soothing music, dance or even a warm cup of your favourite beverage. Timely actions are essential for making real freedom your new reality!

Mindfully maintain healthy life energy within in all relationships you want to keep in life. When immersed in challenging situations, extricate self in the moment. It is never your responsibility to take on problems of others. Free self quickly by kindly interrupting and saying, “Excuse me, I need to go now.” This is essential as it affirms your right to take best care of self. A natural ebb and flo is normal in all relationship dynamics!

Notice when your energy starts to drain with family and friends. You can change this by focusing on simple, direct conversations that reveal true feelings. Begin by expressing what you like to do or don’t like to do, feelings that arise from these experiences or enquire about the other persons’ feelings. Having conversations at this level reveals core experiences that are both enriching and fulfilling. As a result, greater satisfaction and increased life energy becomes your new reality!

Be mindful about the amount of time and energy you spend multi-tasking. This can be greatly depleting as loss of focus comes to the surface. Common problems include feeling depleted, frustrated or annoyed over unexpected outcomes. Whenever the mind and body is overly engaged with too many things at same time, the ability to flow gracefully with life is lost. Make time to pause and rest. Shift to focusing on only one activity at a time, whether it be one of action or rest. As a result, great richness will be your new reality along with a deep sense of satisfaction from natural flow of life!

Get organized! Track scheduled appointments, due dates for projects and essential bill payments on an easily accessible calendar that is always available. In addition, store all important papers in safe places such as files, boxes and specific drawers where everything is kept in an orderly fashion and you will never have any problems finding them. Both of these practices are vital for being more efficient with use of energy and minimizing stresses in life! With knowing in advance when something is coming up, you will have more than enough time to prepare for it with ease!

Are you a perfectionist? Do you strive to complete projects and endeavours with idealistic views, either from others or from thoughts within that are critical, rigid and controlling? Perfectionism often creates tension and stress in getting things down just right. In managing your energy wisely, you will need to let go of this habit and focus instead on completing tasks sufficiently with relaxed energy. Mindfully choose what needs to be meticulous and what doesn’t need to be perfect. Make time and space for what serves you best and incorporate balanced wellness into daily life!

Efficiency is an important part of managing energy wisely. Being efficient is not a moral virtue, rather it gives you time do things that bring you more pleasure and time to relax, reflect, and manifest the future you desire. Live fully in the moment with pure presence! Be aware of what needs to be done and do it now! Don’t wait as moments, minutes, hours, days, months and years pass by quicker with each passing year! Be your true self and be efficient now!!

Being efficient is a crucial part of managing energy wisely. Minimum efforts with maximum results require a lot less energy and effort. A vital step for creating more efficiency is to let go of depleting habits. For example, if you regularly have a hard time finding keys or eye glasses or finding important papers in accumulations and messes, a shift needs to happen as soon as possible. Begin by setting a new pattern where frequently lost items are always stored in one location only. Regularly clear clutter by sorting and organizing excesses. Have files, boxes with labels, recycling bins, donation boxes and garbage cans easily accessible. All these will gift you with more time to do the things you really want in life!
