Imagine for a moment...

No doubt your busy. Although not too busy to read this post but busy enough. We'll keep it short so no one will miss you...;-)

A question, in a variety of forms, consistently asked of us by our coaching clients is how to cultivate energy? Tired of the "knowns", beyond sleep, nutrition & exercise, our coaching partners are a universally seeking lot. They keep us on our toes! A new answer to more energy? Wow, how about a tough question...no more softballs!

So we boiled it down to one word...Imagination. Invigorate your mind with the power of a query. Ask a question then explore where your mind takes you. Modernity asks us to do. The rates at which we are tasked and held accountable often create within us a myopic vision and response loop - achieving the bare minimum, constantly, is tiring. An analogy; imagine running while holding your breath. Just considering that makes me exhausted!

Your imagination is your being's natural rejuvenator. To turn it on you only need to ask a question. My favorite two prompts for instant energy;

1. Spin a globe and point to a spot and ask myself what is my contemporary doing at that location right now?
2. Ask myself, what would my day look like a few hundred years ago?
   

Five minutes meandering around my mind - wondering, imagining, jotting a few thoughts down - releasing myself from the weight of the energy draining tasks and loops where I spend most of my time, acts like a leavening agent.

Feeling tired or sluggish? Go ahead & cultivate the limitless dynamic of the powerful resource always at your disposal; your imagination! Don't worry, it doesn't age, wear out or rust. You'll know it when you find that child-like exuberance wrapped around the dust covered discards of your youth. Enjoy!
