Unlike physical energy,which is finite and diminishes with age,emotional energy is unlimited and has nothing to do with genes or upbringing.So how do you get it?You can t simply tell yourself to be positive.You must take action.Here are six practical strategies that work.
1.Do something new.
Very little that s new occurs in our lives.The impact of this sameness on our emotional energy is gradual,but huge:It s like a tire with a slow leak.You don t notice it at first,but eventually you ll get a flat.It s up to you to plug the leak even though there are always a dozen reasons to stay stuck in your dull routines of life.That s where Maura,36,a waitress,found herself a year ago.
Fortunately,Maura had a lifeline a group of women friends who meet regularly to discuss their lives.Their lively discussions spurred Maura to make small but nevertheless life altering changes.She joined a gym in the next town.She changed her look with a short haircut and new black T-shirts.Eventually,Maura gathered the courage to quit her job and start her own business.
Here s a challenge:If it s something you wouldn t ordinarily do,do it.Try a dish you ve never eaten.Listen to music you d ordinarily tune out.You ll discover these small things add to your emotional energy.
2.Reclaim life s meaning.
So many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning,but that somewhere along the line things went stale.
