Energy Management
Almost everyone wastes energy once in a while. We might get mad, or frustrated, or we might not use our daily energy to its greatest extent. There are ways to prevent this, and to live with more energy. It is simply up to you.
Let's start with the morning. A lot of people have difficulty getting up in the morning, and especially getting out of the slouching and droopy mode after waking up. The way to change this is to get into motion the minute you get out of bed. Instead of going right into your morning routine, stand up straight, and take a few deep breaths. Use the method for "Finding your Center". Now, you must start moving. If you know Tai Chi, or any type of martial art, then using it here would be helpful. If not, allow the Force to guide your actions. Do not think about how you will move, just move. Imagine these movements flowing from your center, which is said to be located somewhere a couple inches below your stomach, in many martial arts and philosophies. Focus on this for at least a minute, and you will feel much more awake. Keep going until you feel you are done. Remember to keep breathing.
Other ways to manage your energy are to use only that which is necesary to use. That means that you should not waste your energy in anger or frustration. This also means that while exercising, you should focus yourself on that task, and you should not cheat on your exercises. Above all, DON'T BE LAZY.
