If you haven’t realized this by now, our moods tend to hold some pretty heavy weight when it comes to how we navigate daily life. A good mood versus a bad mood could yield in extremely different experiences – that is, unless, we know how to manage our emotions effectively. Even the most stressed individual could essentially channel positive energy towards the present moment, giving them strength even the most upsetting of situations.
Tiny Buddha, a website that publishes information related to love and relationships, healthy habits, letting go, meaning and passion, and more, recently published an article related to this exact topic; the writer described energy as: “…Anything that evokes a reaction inside you. In other words, anything that makes you tick, ponder, feel or react. Energy comes to us in different forms. The chair you’re sitting on, the music you’re listening to, or the book you just finished reading, all provoke some sort of reaction within you.”
Energy can be positive or negative for us, inciting feelings of rage or annoyance all the way to utter joy and gratefulness. A lot of it depends on how we choose to translate the situations and messages being sent to us, and it also depends on how we choose to live our lives. If you’re wanting to harbor more positive energy on a daily basis, consider incorporating more of the following holistic activities that are absolutely wonderful for your mind, body and spirit:
- Yoga
- Meditation
- Journal writing
- Reading
- Focusing on gratitude
- Keeping a dream journal
- And more
Ultimately, you’ll want to find activities that bring you closer to happiness, health and wellbeing. From there, you’ll notice that it becomes easier to reflect on events rather than react harshly to them. Breathing becomes lighter, and creativity flows smoother. A few years ago, the Huffington Post explained the use of energy as the choice between letting something define you, destroy you, or strengthen you. Which will you choose?
