ENERGY MECHANISM
How can you increase your energy? Knowing what depletes it is a great place to start. If you are losing or leaking energy, this needs to be addressed first. Consider that you have an energy bucket. It holds your energy reserves. Imagine having a hole in the bottom of that bucket. Filling that bucket with great energy would be foolish if you do not address the hole in the bucket. Sequence matters. So what causes having a leaky energy reserve? The short answer is having a bad attitude. The long answer is having faulty and incomplete paradigms and beliefs. Most bad attitudes stem from poor focus, from being more plugged into "problems" than "solutions."
Each poor point of focus punctures a hole in the bucket that houses your energy reserves. These need proper care and maintenance. How many poor points of focus are there? Here are a few hole-producing qualities to help you understand how prevalent leaky energy is in our culture. Pessimism, negativity, seeing things as bad, poor relating, feeling separate, hopelessness, fear, worry, dread, sadness, irritation, and the list goes on and on. Can you see why attitude is only a short answer? Can you see that even beliefs and paradigms are relatively short answers considering how many holes we can have in our energy buckets.
The most simple way of addressing leaky energy is being incredibly diligent with your focus. Just knowing that poor focus pokes holes in your bucket is enough to get you to stop poking new holes in your bucket. Regardless, how do you attend to the existing holes you have now? Let's take a close look at solution-focused restoration.
Many of the strategies begin to become obvious once you catch on to the concept. Holes from pessimism get addressed properly with optimism. Holes from negativity fill in nicely with positivity. Address the leakiness from seeing things as bad by seeing things as good, necessary, purposeful, important, being just feedback highlighting specific calls to answer. Holes from poor relating disappear through good relating, through having good relationships to things, favorable or not. Every leaky insult has a correlated patching solution. Play with this phenomenon and see for yourself the role that focus plays on both the quantity and the quality of your energy.
