5 Tricks For Restoring Your Energy During Tough Times

"1. Connect to Your Inner Child

If your 8-year-old self was in this situation, what would you tell him/her? Can you connect to the feelings that you felt during hard times that you’ve been through as a young child? Can you remember how intense those feelings were?

How would you cheer him/her up? What would you tell your little self if he/she were in the same situation instead of you? When you are trying to see things through this perspective, you automatically feel empathetic and compassionate.

2. Change Your Physical State

Understand that when you’re changing your physical state, your emotions change as well. If you are currently feeling that you are drained and have no energy, that you are powerless and exhausted, isn’t that the time to take a look at your physical routine? What are you doing most of the day? Are you sitting? Lying down on the couch or in bed? Stuck in your car or office seat most of the day?

3. Connect With Your 80-Year-Old Self

When you are trying to see things through this perspective, you automatically feel calm, even stoic. Every time you’re detecting negative emotions or thoughts, think about the situation that troubles your mind as if your 80-year-old self were reflecting on it. You’ll be amazed to see how different your automatic responses as your 80-year-old self are.

4. Imagine Your Ideal Life

When you’re going through a rough time and are looking for help in restoring energy, it’s important to imagine and think of a better tomorrow. When you’re in a bad situation, or when you are giving everything you’ve got trying to achieve a big, challenging goal, fighting to stay determined when times get tough

5. Find Someone to Look up to

Who do you look up to? Who do you adore? Whether it’s a friend or a relative of yours that you appreciate a lot, or a celebrity athlete, movie star, or singer, they’re people just like you. They have also had bad times! Take some time to listen to their stories."
