How high is your energy level?

Is it as high as it needs to be?

The reason I bring this up is that over the past couple of weeks I’ve been affected by a flu bug. This flu has lowered my energy level, lower than it has been for some time.

So what does a person do?

It would be so easy to say that you must push through and get at what needs to be done, done. But that has not been the case with this flu bug. It has literally zapped my energy level. So what have I done? I’ve decided to listen to my body and do what I could do and have been patient with myself. Learning patience is a true skill that I’ve had to learn. I say that because if I did not become patient with myself, this down time would have been the most frustrating time for me. This is because when you live a life of high energy and all of a sudden you don’t have that energy – you get mightily annoyed.

So how have a learned to become more patient with myself?

• I’ve learned that I have a choice. Yes it is a choice in how I am reacting to things I have no control over.
• I’ve ‘slowed’ down because I realize that there is nothing I can do when this situation has drained my energy.
• I keep on reminding my self that if I get impatient I affect the relationships of those I am with.

These have worked for me; do they make sense for you?

When will you take them out for a test run?
