Energy Shift #1: GREET THE MOMENT.

This moment is yours. Welcome being connected andaware of exactly what is happening right now. Checkin with yourself. What emotions do you feel? How
does your body feel? Even if you don’t like how you
are feeling, allow yourself to feel it.
Too often we avoid the feelings of the moment by
telling ourselves statements or judgements that
disconnect us from it. We push away uncomfortableemotions like pain and anger and in doing so, missthe opportunity to learn what these emotions aretrying to show us and how to heal.
By admitting where you are and that you want tochange, by greeting the moment, you gain the power
to bring change into your life. Your energy starts aneeded shift.

Energy Shift #2: CHANGE ONE THINGIN YOUR DIET.
Take a moment to check in with yourself and think
about how your diet makes you feel. What weconsume not only affects our physical health but
our energy and mental health. We can shift theenergy toward positive change by making one
small change with what we choose to put in ourbodies. Start slow, by adding more water andvegetables to your diet. Eventually by eating moreof the good things, you crowd out the need ordesire for the things you know you should avoid.
Just start with one thing. The energy toward yourdiet and how that feeds, sustains and helps you will
start to shift.

Energy Shift #3: CONNECT WITH
SOMEONE.
Connections with others, as brief as they
may be, remind us of our humanity andinterconnectedness. We all long to feel seen
and heard, especially after the past few
years of isolation and turmoil. Work to makesmall connections with people everyday.
Smile (even if wearing a mask, studies show
smiling decreases depression), make eye
contact, open the door for people, if you’reup for it, make small talk. Make your entire
day small points of happy connections.
As human beings our energy flows between
us. So you can make a big shift byconnecting with a person in a positive way.

Energy Shift #4: CREATE SOMETHING.
Nothing shifts our energy like creativity. When wewere children we’d make things all the time, cutting
paper, and gluing things, making drawings or
singing songs. Somehow as we become adults welose that sense of play. It’s easy to feel stuck when
you do the same thing everyday. Put the screens
down and do something creative that makes yourheart sing. Doodle, write a story, sing out loud, cooka healthy meal from scratch, dance!
Creating something breaks us out of our sluggish
routines and invites movement and celebration into
our lives, all of which is a powerful way to shift ourenergy in the right direction.

Energy Shift #5: LISTEN TO YOUR
SMALL VOICEWe all have a small voice inside of us, quietly
offering good advice, if we can slow down andlisten to it. Your small voice is urging you to takea more conscious look at the daily activities andbe present to make healthier choices. If yoursmall voice is guiding you to make healthychoices and you do the opposite, explore what isthe cause of your unhealthy reactions and try tofind a better response. To dig even deeper, ask
yourself, what is propelling you?
By understanding yourself a bit better yourenergy will shift and everything will start to flow.
