Blogging Clarity Challenge 5: Energise!
The reality is: much of the last 20 years I’ve suffered from either depression and/or anemia so my energy was in extremely short supply for a long, long time.
Fortunately, my depression was picked up about 15 years ago and has been successfully treated.
The anemia on the other hand remained a constant problem, and has only really improved since I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago.
I really must do a post about anemia one of these days … but I digress.
- Sleep. There’s nothing like a good night’s sleep or nanna nap to help me recharge the batteries.
- Sugar. I have a terrible sweet tooth and am way too fond of sugar, something I am trying to curb so I don’t end up with Type 2 Diabetes.
- Cuddles & Hugs. I am blessed to have an incredibly affectionate hubster who gives me lots of cuddles. I also love hugging my kids, and my kitty (when I had one). Just another reason why I need another pet, soon!
- Laughter. Again, I am blessed with a hubster with a wicked sense of humour. People are often surprised by his dry wit, he seems very serious and reserved and then he comes out with some real crackers. He makes me laugh everyday!
- Living with Purpose. Hmm didn’t I mention this last week in my passions?
- Writing. I can lose myself for hours when I am writing, even forgetting to eat, drink, move, pick up my daughter from school (many times – ooops!) …
- Good Times with Friends. Being able to be myself, to talk about the things that really matter, getting below the surface of “small talk”, and have a bit of a laugh.
- Success. Compliments, positive feedback, completing a task, doing something well, knowing that I have made a difference – all of these energise me!
Now it’s over to you. What are the things that give you energy?
