Energy Zappers

         Ever wonder how others feel so good and your so miserable ? Let's take a look at what we let 
         bring us to that plateau. There is an answer for what ever ailment you are carrying around with you.

• Drain - Other peoples expectations: Are you living someone else's dream for you. The other person gets all the satisfaction.

          Move - Declare independence: Someone who is not you will be disappointed. You will feel
          wonderful.         

• Drain - Loss of Self: as kids we had to play by the rules. Our unique energy got caged. 

          Move - Personalize your Life: Find the pocket of freedom where you can be yourself.

• Drain - Deprivation: You gain weight trying to get emotional energy from food.

          Move - Add pleasure, beauty, fun. Satisfying experiences are what you really crave.

• Drain - Envy: We might find someone else's good fortune depressing.

          Move - Count your blessings: Comparison is a losers game. Look at what you have and feel actively
          grateful.

• Drain - Worry: worry never comes up with good ideas. It torments and exhausts us.

         Move - Get going: Action is the cure for worry. Do one thing that brings you a step closer to coping.

• Drain - Unfinished business: Unmade decisions and postponed projects drain you.

          Move - Do it or Dump it: Forget the perfect decision-just trust yourself and make a choice.

• Drain - Overcommitment: Always saying "yes"- to your boss, mother, kids, friends; to request, favor, meetings.

         Move - Say "yes" to yourself. Tell someone else "no" once in a while, just to feel your own power.

• Drain - Holding on to a Loss - Fresh loss is an emergency. Old losses are dead weight.

         Move - Cry all your tears: Indulge in big time mourning. Take off from work, stay in bed, and
          do nothing but cry till your dry--and bored. Then go out and embrace life.
    
      I am not an expert but these are definitely some area where God has granted us his Grace, and we
       need to thank him by using them to glorify HIM.

       Love Ya To Life, LaDonna
