Living the life you always dreamt of is the best gift you could get, right? 

Let’s imagine for one moment that you are living your dream life (if you are not living your dream life already). If you are living your dream life, you must still think of something that is not just as perfect as you wish it to be, right? Were you ever confronted with that situation? 

I think most of us were. How do you keep good energy levels when things do not always go as you wish them to?

THE FIRST thing you need to do is, picture yourself coming out of your actual dream life and look at yourself without any of it ( your family, your home, your job, your friends). How do you feel right now?

I am sure that it is not what you wish to imagine. It might cause quite a lot of discomfort and sadness, and just the image of it can be frightening. This is not what I wish you to feel, but sometimes we need to lose everything to become aware of all that we have in our lives. Sometimes it works to see the good when things are missing.

Most of the people in our lives give us a sense of belonging. Every experience in our life allows us to evolve. When we reflect on our journey, we realize that all needs to happen as it happens to become aware of our aliveness. 

THE SECOND thing to do to keep good energy levels is to take a mental break from all you are trying to implement in your life (personal or professional). Just take a break! Have that needed pause and reflect on your journey. Then reorganize your priorities. Our minds are always chasing plans, projects, schedules and to-do lists. Sometimes it can be exhausting. Human beings need to rest and recharge. Is that simple? Not all the time, but we MUST do it.

Imagine how our ancestors used to live. They had no alarms, no schedules like our modern ones, no smartphones, just a pen and paper. They woke up at sunrise and went to sleep when the sun went down. They organized their life according to their simple living. Their bodies were their clocks. They had no artificial light and most of the things they did, were just simple daily tasks. 

They used to grow their food. I am very sure that having meals done with ingredients grown with the help of their own hands was so rewarding and satisfying. Seeing the crop taken care of with their own hands and eating the most nutritious and healthy food was the highlight of their day. They didn't run back and forth all day for things that had no importance. They used to live through the rhythm of nature and their tiredness was a healthy one.

Of course, our lives are so different from theirs. It would be an interesting experience for most of us to live in those times, don't you think? Try to imagine a day in your life similar to your ancestors. See how it feels. 

THE THIRD thing to keep yourself in a good mood is to be out in nature and try to connect with it. Reserve an hour or more, take a snack with you, made by your hands (if possible), a good book, and a notebook and just be out there with yourself in the middle of the beautiful nature. You will only have benefits being out there. 

The  FOURTH way is to be reflective on what you have and try to enumerate them. Look at your situation from different angles and extract the things that bring you joy and things that bring wisdom to your life. See if you need to change things about your life, things that you think are keeping you from evolving. Try to be objective in all your lived experiences and try to learn from them. Express gratitude as often as you can and try to define what keeping good energy means to you. Try to build on those actions that can change the course of your life for the better. 

THE FIFTH way to keep yourself in good energy and the most crucial one, I believe, is to NOT make yourself responsible for everything around you. Not everything around you involves you. You do not have to entertain everyone around you. If you keep your energy focused on the energy that weighs you down, your body will feel it rapidly, and you will get physically tired. 

If things are not following the path you think is best, try not to weigh you down. You are in charge of your mindset, your schedule, and YOUR life. No one else is. The more you focus on the good IN EVERY SITUATION, the more you WILL keep the level of your good energy high. We are challenged to live a life in its raw form. We must become aware of how good energy makes us feel. Reflect if you want to experiment with it more often.

If you do, I am sure you will get a sense of all that is important to you and your life. You will keep focusing on how to maintain your good energy present for as long as possible. When you will try to keep the good energy in your life, your energy will always attract good people and great situations that you will always wish to be in. The secret is to focus on it. Where focus goes, the energy goes. So if your focus will be on the good, the good energy will follow.
