Wouldn't it be great if you could wake up every morning full of life and enthusiasm for a brand new day? If you loved going to work, and got a positive charge out of all your relationships? If you always had an unending reserve of energy?

Most of us no doubt feel energetic some of the time, but as we get older, the stressors and responsibilities of life, and the weight of our myriad obligations, inevitably take their toll, leaving us feeling tired, worn out, and generally depleted.

While energy is a limited resource within the body, there are things you can do to help you conserve the energy you have and tap into hidden energy reserves.

Perform daily exercises, breathing rituals, and meditations to recharge your batteries.
Adjust your diet and sleeping habits to operate more efficiently from one day to the next.
Re-allocate wasted energy toward higher priorities, such as your family and friends.
Find purpose in your work and relationships to boost your energy for the long run.
