Be energetic and enthusiastic

I found a new way to get into a energetic mood. I am not sure how genuine it is, but it seems to work at least some of the time. The other day I was feeling a little down, I wasn’t really tired, and I hadn’t done enough yet that day to be tired I just felt a bit run down. I went over to a friends house and it started off real low key, you know “hey… what’s up?” “nothin’ what new?” “Nuttin”. I realised that it was boring and I wanted to spice it up. You have heard the term fake it till you make it? Well that is what I did. I just acted energetic and enthusiatic even though I didn’t feel like it. After a few minutes I stopped acting and really was more energetic. My friend was more livly also. I know I could have just flopped down in a chair and watched TV or some such nonsence and had a completely non-memorable day, but instead we had a great time and enjoyed each others company tremendously.

I have also tried this method at work when I really don’t feel up to it. Hmmmm enviroment seems to play a big role, it doesn’t work as good at my job. (And I do love my job) Oh well the experiment continues. :)

The fun part is being infectous to those around you and watching people who would normally just sit and be still start to be energetic and fun-loving with you becasue they see how much fun you are having just being high on life.

I find it easer to accomplish this in my daily life when I surround myself with things and people that I love. Remove as much of the negative as you can and then allow yourself to be energetic.

When I am energetic and enthusiatic, I feel better and I feel better about myself. You can’t always be on a personal high, but sometimes it really is just a choice. During those times I want to have the self-esteem to make that choice!
