You know what I’m talking about. Or maybe you don’t…because it is so weaved into the everyday conversation in your mind. I’m talking about beating yourself up. It steals your energy, makes you tired, and drains your spirit. There’s a much better way. Let’s chat…

I recently wrote about what to do if you are tired and the next day an important revelation occurred to me about this.
I think many of us are tired and we don’t recognize it.
Before we can address being tired, what I like to call “low energy,” we need to be able to recognize this state. So what’s the big deal about being tired?
Simply put, most of the world’s problems stem from someone being tired and not doing their best when faced with challenges. The ripple effect then takes place and the problems multiply.
If you can manage your energy, you can control the quality of your life!
So let’s take a look at how to see past the veil of chronic tiredness and move on to a better life!

You don’t need more information. What you need is acceptance of the truth.
If you find yourself constantly searching for answers to the same questions, you probably already have the information that you need to know the answer. For example, a common quest many people are on is “how can I lose weight?” There are a million books, articles, websites, programs, etc that will give you some version of the answer. What you need now is not more information, but acceptance of the truth about how to do it. Once you have that acceptance, then you can commit to doing it and finally follow through with action.
So let’s break this down further.
Is there something from your past, that you did or didn’t do, that really bugs you?
Do you find yourself beating yourself up over it?
Even if you say no, think about this: Is there something that you have wanted to accomplish for a while now, but you just haven’t done it? Why haven’t you done it? Could it be that you are so angry with yourself for letting so much time pass? Could that anger be blocking you from moving forward?
Whether you realize it or not, if you are hating yourself for something in your past, that is going to block your ability to be happy today and to realize the future you want.
Here’s the Good News: You can change your future starting TODAY!
