Soul Coaching: Energy Zappers and Juicers

Day 10, hello.  I liked today's assignment(s).  Level one was to list the things that zap your energy.  Level two, because it's more intense and time-consuming, was to list the things that juice up your energy.

Well, color me surprised.  I started level two and had to force myself to stop.  And all this time I've been thinking I was Tuesday's Child: full of woe.  That right there was a superjuicer all on its own.

Zappers:

• small talk
• crowds
• wasteful people/actions
• thinking about things I need to do or haven't done yet
• not seeing the sun or moon
• eating after a workout
• meetings that don't get anywhere
• when people ask me if I've been published or when I will be
• shopping
• cloudy skies

Juicers:

• yoga
• reading
• blogging
• writing emotional stories
• connecting with someone I think is cool
• watching CK, Leah, or Colin sleep
• having a neat desk or night stand
• dreaming about possibilities
• going to an event where I have something in common with people (grad school, book club, yoga retreat, hippie festivals)
• unexpectedly seeing wildlife
• getting to stay in a hotel room
• watching a live performance
• lighting the candle/incense on my altar
• breathing fresh air
• leaving the house (no, seriously)
• wrapping myself and my toes in a blanket on cold days
• spooning
• afternoon summer thunderstorms
• trying a new recipe
• sore muscles the day after working out
• having a real conversation

What yummy juicers!

Oh spooning! I miss that! I want it back! Did anyone see my spooner? :)

I thoroughly enjoyed your juicers, and found your zappers interesting. Small talk is a yawn! :)

That's so funny - I miss spooning too - Definitely an upper.

"meetings that don't get anywhere"

Oy! I hear this. Nothing worse than knowing full well that your time would be better spent elsewhere.

I enjoyed this post. I tried the exercise and got some great food for thought. I hear ya on the sore muscles on the day after working out. Love that one.

Great lists & Love your altar - & the comment! My oldest grand daugher used to say 'mama' when she looked at the Medicine Buddha picture on my altar, & love to chant with me!

I thought Wednesday's child was full of Woe?

@ aimee: Sigh. You're right, it's Wednesday's child. I realized that afterwards and planned to go back and edit... but then never did.

I should have remembered that I have hot smart chicks reading my site. Oh well.
