How Do You Change Your Energy? My 3 Favorite Ways

Although I wish it were, in my life, every day is not always perfect, wether that’s emotionally or physically or kid wise, or husband wise ~ but I still have to get up and do what I gotta do right?

This is a really hard thing when you work from home. You don’t have anyone over your shoulder telling you “Get to work now”. You have to find the motivation from within.  So what do you do on those days when you get irritated, or pissed, or just completely unmotivated?

Some days I just say forget it and take the day off, but I can’t always do that. What I do know is my work goes much smoother, quicker and easier when I’m in the right frame of mind. So then it comes down to being able to pivot out of a “bad” mood and into something better.

Here are some of my favorite tricks.

1. John Mayer. Don’t know what it is about his music but it has an almost instant transformative effect. We have an entire John Mayer playlist at YouTube.  The first song mellows me out a little then a couple songs in “No Such Thing” plays and that song just rocks my world, and I get up and dance around the living room with Hanna. A little John Mayer is a definite mood changer.

2. Take a walk. Sometimes it’s as simple as going out to let the chickens out, sometimes it’s a walk up and down the road. Sometimes we take the wagon and go looking for treasures. It all depends on the “depth” of the pivot I need to make.

3. EFT. This one works great, when I remember. It works great on just about anything. What’s fun for me is it works best when you really get into the emotion and that whole snowball conversation you make up in your head is the best way to do EFT. So instead of just having the conversation, or playing it out in your mind, tap as you go. It’s also a great way to start the day to avoid needing to pivot in the first place Here’s one of my favorite EFT videos to start my day with.

I’d love to hear how you pivot to get to a place where you can sit down and be productive ~ feel free to leave you pivoting techniques in the comment section.

John Mayer Makes Me Dance ~ That Feels GOOD

As you may know I am working on having more fun and feeling good for the Boundless Living Challenge this go around. The first few days were rough.  I had to get a handle on “what is fun” ~ and especially what it means for me. With the support of some great friends, I’ve made some breakthroughs in that area! yay.

So I already posted on my BLC blog this great John Mayer song that made me feel great today. But I just love him and his music and then this song came on right after I posted to that blog. I love this song. It makes me want to dance~ actually it doesn’t make me WANT to dance, it makes me DANCE!!! Jump up, grab Hanna spin around, be silly.

Today’s been a great day, and just wanted to share a little of the fun.

Here’s the words just in case you don’t know them.

“Welcome to the real world”, she said to me
Condescendingly
Take a seat
Take your life
Plot it out in black and white
Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
And the drama queens
I’d like to think the best of me
Is still hiding
Up my sleeve

They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something’s better
On the other side

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there’s no such thing as the real world
just a lie you’ve got to rise above

So the good boys and girls take the so called right track
Faded white hats
Grabbing credits
and
Maybe transfers
They read all the books but they can’t find the answers
And all of our parents
They’re getting older
I wonder if they’ve wished for anything better
While in their memories
Tiny tragedies

They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something’s better
On the other side

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there’s no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you got to rise above

I am invincible (x3)
As long as I’m alive

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there’s no such thing as the real world
Just to lie you’ve got to rise above

I just can’t wait til my 10 year reunion
I’m gonna bust down the double doors
And when I stand on these tables before you
You will know what all this time was for.
