Recently, just for the fun of it, I started making a list of all the things that energize me. I started out with a list of 10. Then it grew to 20, 30, then 40, and now, 44. But I am certain I have only just begun.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n

These are in no particular order:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Take Vitamins.<\/li>\n
  2. Lose weight.<\/li>\n
  3. Organize your desk.<\/li>\n
  4. Eat lean.<\/li>\n
  5. Get 7–8 hours of sleep a night.<\/li>\n
  6. Go to bed and get up at the same time every day.<\/li>\n
  7. Take naps.<\/li>\n
  8. Drink 8 glasses of water a day.<\/li>\n
  9. Use a sun lamp.<\/li>\n

  14. Walk faster.<\/li>\n
  15. Decide to be energetic.<\/li>\n
  16. Smile.<\/li>\n
  17. Learn a new joke and tell it to someone.<\/li>\n
  18. Read or watch something inspiring.<\/li>\n
  19. Avoid sugar and white carbs (potatoes, bread, etc.)<\/li>\n
  20. Reconcile with an estranged family member or friend.<\/li>\n
  21. Go to church.<\/li>\n
  22. Sing old TV theme songs with friends.<\/li>\n
  23. Listen to music that moves you.<\/li>\n
  24. Get outside.<\/li>\n
  25. Breathe more deeply.<\/li>\n
  26. Read the Bible.<\/li>\n
  27. Relax your body.<\/li>\n
  28. Cancel unproductive meetings.<\/li>\n

  30. Experience art.<\/li>\n
  31. Stop complaining.<\/li>\n
  32. Be grateful.<\/li>\n
  33. Pay someone a compliment.<\/li>\n
  34. Give money to a good cause.<\/li>\n
  35. Lighten someone else’s load.<\/li>\n
  36. Travel with less stuff.<\/li>\n
  37. Clean out your closet.<\/li>\n
  38. Have dinner with a friend and be fully present.<\/li>\n
  39. Take a shower.<\/li>\n
  40. Get a massage.<\/li>\n
  41. Turn off your mobile phone.<\/li>\n
  42. Get lost in a great story.<\/li>\n
  43. Make a list of why you are doing what you are doing.<\/li>\n
  44. Dream about what is possible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
