Add to My Life Force or Rob me of my Energy

5. Will this Choice Add to My Life Force OR will it Rob Me of My Energy

Taking a look at life, what are the things that rob us of our energy?? What are the things that don't add to our life force. If we think of our life force as a roaring fire within us, there are things that either add to it, or things that diminish it. Being stuck in the past, focussing on old regrets and hurts, nurturing resentment against what people have done to us... all these things rob us of our energy...

When I look at my life... what are the things that rob me of my energy... not exercising... eating Cheezies... watching too much TV (and I know what too much is for me!)... not answering emails or letters promptly... holding resentments against others... having a messy desk... not doing things for "me"... All these things drain me of my energy and keep me stuck... I don't want to live like that!!! And so then the question is... what are the things that add to my life force... exercising... eating right... doing youa in the mornings... writing my morning pages... writing (period!!)... keeping a tidy, organized workspace... answering things promptly...

So whenever I am faced with a life choice... it is another good question to ask... Will going for a hot chocolate at Starbucks add to my life force or rob me of my energy???

I really like these questions!! I find that I am starting to ask myself them as I go through my day. When I am (often!) tempted to postpone an email response or something... I take a quick look and know that it is going to be something that's going to drag at me... so better to clean it up now and keep moving forward!
