So much of our energy is expended during our work shift that when we finally finish up and begin to head on home we are literally too exhausted to do anything else. Our liveliness does not just disappear; it dissipates little by little all throughout the day, until we are too weak to contemplate any other activities, regardless of whether they are meaningful to us or not. What follows are 15 energy-efficient ways to hold onto daily momentum.
Why not give one or several of these Emotional Energy Savers a Try?
- Optimism over expectation
- Leadership over timidity
- Connection over ambivalence
- Genuineness over Falsehood
- Conviction over commitment
- Affection over alienation
- Hope instead of defeat
- Caution over recklessness
- Listening instead of merely hearing
- Smiling instead of frowning
- Questioning instead of accepting
- Whistling over sighing
- Seeing rather that looking
- Knowing instead of guessing
- Pleasing instead of propagandizing
