LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE

POSITIVE ENERGY = POSITIVE IMPACT

By Carmen Greger

In the hustle and bustle of modern living, it’s easy to lose sight of what makes life truly fulfilling. We are surrounded by an invisible force that guides us, supports us, and shapes our lives: energy. Though unseen to the naked eye, energy influences our environment in the form of people, places, choices, time, the air we breathe, and the food we eat. Be inspired and committed to live your best life by recognizing and embracing positive energy.

Understanding Energy: The Unseen Force

“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it,” Albert Einstein once said, reminding us that we are all part of an interconnected network of vibrations and frequencies.

Whether it’s the uplifting feeling you get from a good friend or the serene peace of a natural landscape, energy comes in many forms. Understanding this can be the key to unlocking a more fulfilled and healthy life.

Surround Yourself with Positive People

Jim Rohn famously said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Surround yourself with positive, uplifting individuals who inspire and motivate you. This is your ‘tribe’. Their energy will inevitably rub off on you (as yours will on them) guiding you (all) towards greater success and happiness.

Choose Your Environment Wisely

The places we inhabit are not merely physical locations. They’re vibrating energy fields that can uplift or dampen our spirits. Spend time in nature, create a cozy home environment, or work in spaces that inspire creativity and well-being.

Make Conscious Choices

Every choice we make carries energy. From the career we pursue to the hobbies we enjoy, making choices that align with our true selves leads to fulfillment. As Oprah Winfrey advises, “Follow your instincts. That’s where true wisdom manifests itself.”

Time, Air, Food & Water: The Essentials of Life

Invest Time Wisely

Time is a finite resource. Spend it on activities and people that nourish your soul. Research shows that engaging in hobbies and spending quality time with loved ones enhances mental well-being.

Breathe in Positivity

Clean air is not just vital for physical health; it also affects our mental state. Investing in house plants or spending time outdoors can improve the quality of the air you breathe, enhancing your overall well-being.  Additionally, take focused time to breathe deeply; your breath is the rhythm of your soul.

Eat & Drink Mindfully

The foods we consume carry energy too. Opt for nourishing, clean, wholesome, sustainably sourced and life-giving, nutrient dense foods that fuel your body and mind. As Hippocrates stated, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” It is essential to drink plenty of clean, purified water to stay hydrated and flush out any toxins in the body.

Practical Tips to Live Your Best Life

1. Set Clear Goals: Write down what you want to achieve and break it down into manageable steps.
2. Practice Gratitude: Start each day by reflecting on what you’re thankful for.
3. Exercise Regularly: Physical activity releases positive endorphins and eliminates toxins.
4. Embrace Lifelong Learning: Never stop growing and learning. Embrace new hobbies and interests.
5. Seek Professional Help if Needed: Sometimes, professional guidance can help us overcome obstacles and grow. Hiring a Coach or a therapist for insight, guidance, support and sound accountability partnership is a great way to catalyze the manifestation of your best life.

Harnessing the Power of Positivity

As we venture deeper into the art of living our best lives, it’s essential that we realize that it’s an ongoing journey. By continually seeking to connect with positive energy, we pave the path for a life filled with purpose, passion and peace.

Foster Deep Connections

Building and maintaining deep, genuine relationships are fundamental to our well-being. We’re social beings by nature. Studies indicate that individuals who have strong social connections live longer, happier lives. Prioritize relationships that add joy and value to your life and carve out consistent time to cultivate them.

Mindfulness & Meditation

The ancient practices of mindfulness and meditation have seen a resurgence in our modern world- and for good reason. These practices help anchor us in the present moment, allowing us to connect with our surroundings on a profound level. Embracing mindfulness helps filter out the noise of everyday life, allowing us to tap into the reservoir of positive energy within us.

Keep Your Space Clean & Organized

Your immediate environment can either energize or drain you. An organized and clean space can be a source of calm and motivation. As Marie Kondo suggests, “The space in which we live should be for the person who we are becoming now, not for the person we were in the past.”

Limit Exposure to Negativity

Whether it’s negative news, toxic relationships, overconsumption of processed foods, or unhealthy social media habits, it’s essential to set boundaries. Protect your energy by being mindful of what you consume, mentally, physically and emotionally.

Celebrate Small Wins

In your quest to life your best life, remember to pause and acknowledge the small victories along the way. Every step forward, no matter how minor it may seem, is progress. Recognition and celebration adds fuel to the fire and catalyzes the materialization of your burning desires.

EMBRACE CHANGE & GROWTH

Life is a series of ebbs and flows. By understanding that change is a natural part of existence, we become more adaptable and resilient. Growth often occurs outside our comfort zones. So, be open to new experiences, learn from your mistakes, and view challenges as opportunities for personal evolution.

In the grand composition of life, make sure your tune resonates with positivity,  hope and vigor. When we actively seek and cultivate positive energy in all its forms, we set the stage for a life filled with happiness, meaning and contentment.

It’s a journey that requires effort, awareness, and consistent action. But at its core, living your best life is about fully embracing every moment with an open and healthy heart, a clear, uncluttered mind and an eager spirit that’s ready to soar. As the wise Maya Angelou once said, “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive, and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” The time to thrive is now.

Living your best life is about recognizing and harnessing the positive energy around you. It’s about aligning yourself with your purpose and your passions, and prioritizing, nurturing and honoring the people, places, and choices that resonate with your true self. It’s about being mindful of the time you spend, the air you breathe, and the food you eat.

Embrace the unseen positive energy that surrounds you, and you’ll find a path that leads to fulfillment, joy, and a life worth living. Remember the words of Roy T. Bennett, “Don’t be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.”  Decide to prudently recognize and responsibly release toxic energy in all of its forms and proactively amplify the positive energy and outcomes in your life.
