An interesting observation: some day you will find yourself extremely tired and sleepy, ready to go to bed, and then a thought pops in your brain and you are ready and full of energies.
Depending on the type of tiredness you feel, there can be different action that can bring some energy back.

There are 3 main energies that we deal with:

  • Physical
  • Psychological
  • Emotional

It is common to be tired on one or two of them.
Understanding which one is lower can be the key to get some energy back.

The easier energy to deal with is the physical one: we are so used to be conscious of our bodies that we can feel the tiredness easily.
The psychological one is a little trickier, but still recognizable: when we work a lot with our mind and our brain is “foggy”, and we can’t think two things straight, then probably we have low psychological energy.
What about the emotional one ?
That’s the trickiest one.
On a different degree each person is more or less in touch with his/her emotions, but being aware of the ‘emotional energy’ is an almost unknown skill.
Being dragged by emotions, both positive and negative, can tire you to a point in which you don’t want to do anything.
If you have high stress from work, even just feeling a tense atmosphere, can deplete you of emotional energy.
Having a verbal fight with someone can tire you up.
Think about that: you are tired but not physically nor psychologically tired.

A useful skill to develop for the adventurer that wants to wander the technology of self, is to be aware of all this different energies.
It is finally mainstream the knowledge that we are a complex human system, and everything interacts with everything, so those energies influence each other, for the good and the bad.
If you feel tired and you want some energy back, you can work on your body, on your train of thoughts, and on your emotional response.
Healthy food, exercising, mindfulness and attention to our mind are all tools easily available if you have a connection.

Know thyself.
