Energy

Let’s go! Energy … There is a negative and positive energy that we project every day. People love being around those who project the positive. Energy, Enthusiasm, and Exercise – sometimes you just need to get up, look up, stay up, and light it up! Don’t wait. Make it happen!

and …

Oh, ok …

Hundreds of videos could have been included above, and without a doubt, one of the mentioned videos must have made you hit the “energy up” button. If not, perhaps I can help.

Everything, whether visible or invisible, physical or abstract, filters through the lens of our five senses, and perhaps even a sixth sense.

I’ve discovered that the following gives me the spark to overflow with energy and enthusiasm.

• Touch: Physical touch can be surprisingly powerful in boosting energy and enthusiasm.
  • Baseball bat
  • Nerf basketball and wall mounted hoop
  • Cold water splashed on my face
  • Warmth of the sun on my skin
  • Exercise gear like dumbbells
  • Fidget tools like Stress balls, textured cubes, or rubber bands (baseball bat – again) can increase focus and energy by engaging your hands
  • Textured items.
• Site: Visual stimuli can have a powerful effect on energy and enthusiasm!
  • Sunlight – Natural light helps regulate mood and energy levels.
  • Moving water – Watching waves, waterfalls, or fountains can be refreshing and invigorating.
  • Smiling faces – Seeing happy expressions can be contagious and uplifting. Pictures of loved ones, friends, and even acquaintances.
  • Inspirational quotes – Motivational words can spark enthusiasm and drive. I have these everywhere!
  • Action scenes – Watching sports, dance performances, or fast-paced movement can energize the mind. (Above videos)
  • Success symbols – Trophies, medals, or achievement boards can inspire motivation. I also have framed letters from customers.
• Hearing: Sound can be a powerful energizer! Here are some things people can hear that boost enthusiasm and energy:
  • Upbeat music – Fast-paced tunes, especially with strong beats, can instantly lift your mood.
  • Laughter – The sound of people laughing is contagious and can make you feel more lively.
  • Motivational speeches – Hearing inspiring words from leaders or coaches can spark enthusiasm.
  • Cheering crowds – The roar of a stadium or applause can create an adrenaline rush.
  • Nature sounds – Birds chirping, ocean waves, or rustling leaves can refresh your mind.
  • Positive affirmations – Repeating or hearing uplifting phrases can boost confidence and energy.
  • Drumming or rhythmic beats – Percussion sounds can be invigorating and stimulate movement.
  • Excited voices – Conversations filled with enthusiasm can be contagious.

• Smell: Scents can have a powerful effect on energy and enthusiasm! Here are some invigorating smells that can boost your mood:
  • Citrus (lemon, orange, grapefruit) – Fresh, zesty scents that stimulate alertness and positivity.
  • Peppermint – Known to enhance focus and provi
  • Eucalyptus – Opens up the senses and promotes a feeling of vitality.

  • Colognes and Perfumes – Remember your first cologne or perfume? I use to shower after a sporting event and apply one of two different colognes. Later in life, I had a different scent for each season. When I need to feel youthful and/or rejuvenated, I use the cologne from that era.
• Taste: Taste can be a powerful way to boost energy and enthusiasm! Here are some foods and flavors that can help:
