Motivation Monday: The Energy Series: It's Time to Plug In!

By Tony C. Lesesne

I'm going to just put it out there; Its time for all of us to PLUG IN! Its time for us to elevate the energy level for a better lifestyle. Happy Monday, everyone! Tony here, kicking off our "Energy Series" with a little secret: You're walking around with a personal power plant, a silent dynamo just waiting to be unleashed! We often talk about "having energy" as if it's something external we just catch or lose. But what if I told you that vibrant, dynamic force isn't just something you get? It's something you already possess, deep down, waiting to be truly harnessed.

Think about it for a moment; There are days you wake up, and boom! You're ready to conquer the world. Other days? Not so much.

The difference isn't always external circumstances; it's often how we're tapping into (or blocking) our own incredible energy reserves. This isn't some woo-woo concept; it's about understanding the wellspring of drive, focus, and positivity that resides within you. This isn't some woo-woo concept; it's about understanding the wellspring of drive, focus, and positivity that resides within you.

Imagine your internal energy as a super-powered, hyper-efficient, self-cleaning, organic juicer.

Most of us are just using it to make lukewarm, slightly pulpy orange juice when it's capable of whipping up a cosmic smoothie that fuels rocket launches and solves quantum physics problems before breakfast.

We leave the best fruits of our potential rotting on the counter, opting instead for the low-hanging, slightly bruised ones. It's not that the ingredients aren't there; it's that we're stuck on the "mild citrus beverage" setting when the "galaxy-blending, consciousness-expanding elixir" button is just gathering dust.

So, next time you feel like you're running on empty, instead of blaming the traffic or the perpetually ringing phone, take a moment to peek inside your personal energy power plant. Is a tiny, mischievous gremlin secretly siphoning off your enthusiasm?

Are you accidentally leaving the energy faucet wide open while complaining about a drought? The secret isn't finding a new external power source; it's about learning to crank up your internal generator and realizing you've been sitting on a goldmine of pure, unadulterated oomph all along.

I've seen this firsthand on the basketball court. You know how one player can come in, not necessarily jumping around like a rabbit on Red Bull, but with an undeniable presence that just electrifies the whole team? Or how a crowd, even a quiet one, can suddenly pump you up from within? That's energy at play, a contagious force that flows from person to person. It's not about being outwardly manic; it's about projecting an inner certainty and vibrancy.

That ability to generate and transfer energy from within? It's a skill, and honestly, it’s a fun one to master. It’s about being so internally dialed in that your personal frequency elevates the room, influencing those around you without a single shout.

This week, let's play a game. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to recognize that internal hum. Notice when your energy is flowing freely and when it feels a bit... stuck. Are you fueling it with good vibes, or draining it with endless scrolls and negative thoughts?

You have this amazing capacity to inspire, to create, to connect. It all starts with your energy. So, take a deep breath, acknowledge that incredible power within, and let's make this Monday a day of plugging into your true potential. How will you channel your inner dynamo today?
