Maintaining Positive Energy Flow

Maintaining Positive Energy Flow

“The two states of being and doing  are a perfect example of ying and yang. One does not use much energy in the “being” state, so if a person remains in it too long, there is a build up and they will feel restless. And as the “doing” state does require energy, a person that remains in it too long, will end up feeling burnt out once resources are too low. Keeping these two states in balance, is key to maintaining a positive energy flow.”

The Evil Walter Mitty

“Remember Walter Mitty? He was the fictional character in James Thurber’s short story The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, who constantly daydreamed. But there is a evil version of Walter that makes up most of our personalities. When faced with a pending difficult situation, almost all of us tend to play it out in our minds before hand. Why? Because we feel that by being prepared, we can have control over the situation. Unfortunately, we have no control over any external forces and the constant “playing out in our mind” can actually create more damage than the actual situation ever will.”
