Set Goals In Life

2008-03-22来源:

It is important to set goals in life. To accomplish those goals, youneed a healthy supply of energy. Even the best car cannot run withoutfuel, so how can your body work without energy? The more energy youhave, the further you can "ride" in this life. Unfortunately, the body'senergy cannot be obtained through an electric outlet or at a gas pump.Instead, it can be obtained from many different sources.

Energy can be found anywhere. For example you get more energized wheninspiration strikes you, or when you resolve a problem causing youstress, or when your body spends less energy than it usually does todigest the food you consume.

Energy and its storage and usage are like money kept in the same bankaccount.

No matter where you obtain additional funds - paycheck, dividends oninvestment, or a lottery win - all of it accumulates in one place.Similarly, regardless of how you spent that money - make a purchase,donate to charity, or lose at the horse races - the funds still come outof the same place.

Similarly, when you produce energy, it is stored in one energy 'depot'in the body. Once you begin spending the accumulated energy, it does notmatter what is the nature of this loss; stress, troubles with yourpartner, junk food, a workout, or anything else requiring theexpenditure of energy draws it from the same source. What we do notrealize is once the energy is spent negatively, on an activity you donot like, less of it is available for positive activities, likeimproving your Business, working out, painting your house, or the like.

What is the problem? The problem is we unconsciously desire to loseenergy because many of the 'negative processes' are associated with afeeling of pleasure, contentment, or other enjoyment, however brief. Forexample, we can stuff ourselves with chocolate simply because it tastesgood, and we might enjoy the sugar kick. But what is the price of suchindulgence?

From your school days you probably remember that every action requiresenergy, digestion is no exception. Chocolate is a kind of substance thatrequires a lot of energy to process it correctly - in other words,before our body is able to extract some 'fuel' from it. This is why,once the sugar rush is gone, you often want to take a nap after eatingchocolate; your body expands too much energy on digestion and is nowlacking it to maintain the state of wakefulness.

The result - your energy 'account is being robbed' while you areexperiencing the pleasure. Why? Because this process of negativeexpansion of energy - often called "going down" or falling - really doescreate a certain anesthetic reaction that in turn produces a falsefeeling of "wellness"; after all, if we do not realize how bad we aredoing, we often think that we are fine. The rude awakening in this casecomes when our desire for 'going down' is fulfilled, and we suddenlyfind ourselves faced with all sorts of problems stemming from theoverall lack of energy. Both your personal life and Business affairs maysuffer, even if you are the most amiable person when it comes torelationships and the most talented and skilled when it comes toBusiness.

We simply do not understand that junk food, stress, and other 'downers'deplete our energy 'depot' and thus rob us of the ability to performother necessary activities. We simply don't see the connection eventhough it is the most basic scientific truth. How can bad eating habitsinfluence your ability to perform at work? We simply do not see theconnection.

Conclusion. To live a better life, you must first take care of yourenergy level.

You will always feel truly good and be able to do many more things thatare important to you in life once you gain extra
