What was your energy level like today? Did you wake up this morning like Tony the Tiger feeling Grrr---ate.? Did you jump into all your activities today with enthusiasm? Were you rarin' to go at the first chance? Did your "get-up-and-go" rare up and roar, or, did it get up and went?
Down For The Count!
Well, if your get-up-and-go got up and went, let's see if we can do something about it. First thing to realize is, you have two types of energy; Physical and mental and iritual. For the sake of this article, let's just say that mental and iritual are one.
It is very important that you condition your mind and body together. There's not much benefit in having a body full of muscles if your mind is full of jello. And, there's certainly no benefit in having an extremely conditioned mind with no physical energy.
No matter how well conditioned our bodies are, the great majority of our strength comes from the vast power of our subco cious. I'm sure you have heard of phenomenal feats of strength that would, under normal circumstances, have been impo ible.
No Pain No Gain!
There are two principles used in the training of athletes. (1), Train the whole body, and, (2) Push the body to the limit of endurance and then extend the limit with each additional workout. The subco cious, on the other hand, has no limit. It can be pushed and pushed and pushed to the point of mental exhaustion.
When this ha e , you can turn your emotio into mush; and, physically, not be able to punch your way out of a wet paper bag.
The subco cious needs rest as much as the body does. We all know the sig and symptoms of pain when our bodies become exhausted. When we become exhausted mentally, there is no clear sig of pain, just some definitive behavior patter .
Give It A Rest!
Unfortunately, we don't always listen to our subco cious as well as we do our bodies. We just keep going and going until others around us notice some of the changes in our behavior or until we realize we need a rest. If we don't give our body and mind the rest they need, severe damage even death can result.
For example; here is how to tell if your batteries need recharging. If you feel you are a well balanced person then you should be on the lookout for any of these sig .
If regularly sleepy or tired, unfriendly or su icious, quarrelsome, i ulting and hostile, irritable, sarcastic and mean, nervous, excitable and hysterical, worrisome, fearful and jealous, ruthle and exce ively selfish, exce ively depre ed or frustrated.
I know, I know, I can hear some of you ladies now saying, "that's my hu and all the time"; the skunk! Seriously though, when you are fatigued your usually positive desirable feelings, emotio and actio have a tendency to turn very negative. When properly rested, the direction tur back positive.
His Days Are Numbered!
If your behavior indicates that your better qualities have taken a hike, then you need to recharge your batteries before you end up being the richest man in the graveyard.
In effect, your subco cious mind is like a reservoir. From it our bodies can obtain large amounts of energy stimulus that can tra late into physical energy. And, our subco cious just kee going and going like that energizer bu y. Obviously, that could be a ble ing or a curse.
Here is what ha e . We know that the flow of energy never sto from the subco cious, so, the body gets weary. And, since the subco cious is su lying the fuel, which causes all of our physical movements, our behavior becomes those danger sig I mentioned above. That is when the wreck ha e .
As those negative emotio slo--wly begin to take over, the flow of energy from the subco cious kee on pushing through. But, now, i tead of filling us with productive vitality, we get sla ed u ide the head with a dead fish.
Why is that? Well, because the subco cious doe 't know any better. It just takes whatever emotion that's currently "there", and being di layed, it analyzes it and notices how quarrelsome or hostile the behavior is, and then ramrods a boot where the sun won't shine.
Open The Floodgates!
It's just doing what it was designed to do: When the behavioral actio heat up, you can depend on your subco cious to throw some fuel on the fire; whether the behavior is beneficial or not, because it doe 't know or care. It just reinforces the actio , and then says to you, "didn't I do good?" Yeah, right dummy.
That's why you see some people's behavior get worse before it gets better. The inte ity of actio is being fed by the subco cious and the actio keep getting worse because the subco cious is reinforcing them. And, it's a vicious cycle.
The same proce works on the positive side. When the subco cious notices behavior that is desirable and helpful, it will come on the scene quicker than a New York minute, and help you blow your own trumpet all over tow because even then, it doe 't know the difference.
Like A Loose Ca on!
When the subco cious is empowering the wrong actio , this is wasted energy. Worry, fear, anger, rage, etc. all have the same need for fuel to thrive. They get that fuel from the subco cious. You can't cut the fuel line, because without a subco cious you would just be a fruit cake.
That is its jo to su ly fuel. The actio are our choice. Watch someone throw a fit sometime and watch how, if they allow the actio to continue, how the actio get heated up. Watch someone sometime who is really in his groove and going with the flow how those actio just continue to create more enthusiasm.
It's a self-propelling mechanism; it feeds on itself. All we have to do is exhibit the actio the subco cious will take over and feed it the fuel it needs to survive. And, the flow will be enough to keep it alive.
Unfortunately, on the negative side, it is wasted energy because it brings failure. An activity that brings failure, uses up as much energy, from the subco cious, to fail, as a wi ing activity uses to succeed; but, the condition that a failing activity leaves us in is emotionally drained.
The Net Result!
Man is the only ecies who can control his actio through his co cious decisio from within rather than being influenced by outward circumstances. The more refined you are the easier you can control the actio that your subco cious will empower. The ball is in your court.
