So how do we have more energy?

I'll give you various tips,

I might even do a series on how to have more energy,

But one thing,

Not trying to control the thoughts and the emotions of other people,

Not trying to control what is not within our control.

If you focus on doing something that is actually not possible,

You waste a lot of energy,

You burn a lot of energy.

So this kind of trying to mold other people and other people's experience,

That is a huge energy drainer.

Do the things that feel right for you,

Treat people with respect,

Follow your inner compass,

Your intention,

Your inner voice,

And then let it go,

Because people are unpredictable.

People feel,

Think,

Do all kinds of things,

And we can't feel like we're responsible for controlling them,

Because we're not nature,

We're not the universe,

We're not God.

Let people be free,

And you will free up a lot of energy.
