Recharge Your Life

You know what I hate? That batteries die. Especially when you're travelling and you need your cell phone to communicate. And you can't use your tablet because Wi-Fi costs money. And your flight is delayed...

So while I was hanging out an extra two hours (thanks for the chance to read my new book!) I started thinking about how life is like that. If the power goes out at home, you can guarantee you won't be fully charged on any of your electronic devices. And if one area of your life becomes unbalanced, like what you eat, not getting enough sleep, not getting enough down time, working too hard, then it seems like all areas of your life suffer. Even on vacation, it sometimes seems you're just accumulating work for when you get it!

And it seems like everyone else is running on  a better battery pack than what you've got. How do those people who have it altogether do it? Like the lady at the gym who's a teacher, goes to classes daily, is a fitness goddess, is a pastor's wife, sings in the choir, and everyone loves her and wants to be her! Or the lady on the plane who would not shut up about her job promotion and the convention she was invited to. Sure, those are only glimpses into someone's life, but how do we get more energy?

To some extent, like the Energizer Bunny, if you start moving, you may find more energy to keep going and going and going...but only for a time. We need to recharge to, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

Deep breath, no stress. I'm looking forward to a nice, long run tomorrow! That always does it for me!
