SETTING HEALTHY BOUNDARIES

WHY PROTECTING YOUR ENERGY IS SO IMPORTANT

How do you feel about the energy that you are are putting in you and your life right this very moment? Are you enjoying your life? Are you feeling fulfilled and passionate? Or is it dreary and tough to get out of bed every morning?

In a perfect world, you would jump out of bed happy and energized, ready to tackle the day with ease. Your family would go off to school or work happy, you would dive into your day with  focus.  You would save some time to plan out your day with purpose and optimism.

Do you desire this perfect world? Complete perfection is not attainable but that’s not to say you can’t aim for a strong balance. Life is filled with ups and down, twists and turns, joy, laughter, pain and sometimes heartbreak. Learning how to handle this unpredictable life we live in is the key to success.  When your life is balanced well, then your energy increases, you feel revitalized, and stressful situations don’t stop you in your tracks.

Chinese medicine teachings say that every human body has an energy highway where all energy flows. This flow of energy affects how we feel, how we think, and also affects our overall health. When there are no energy blockages, life is good and we can have a nearly perfect day. When we experience energy blockages due to stress, injury, trauma, poor diet, or other poor living conditions, our overall physical and mental health suffers dramatically.

Setting boundaries in your life is one of the keys to maintaining your energy’s balance. Your energy is also your spirit or your liveliness.  When you take on too much or you surround yourself with negativity then you rob yourself of creating that happy life for yourself,  you become stressed, which dampens your energy, thus dampening your outlook on life.

Take a minute to list what is important to you in your life.  Keep your priorities forefront in your mind and make it happen!!!!!
