We strive to live a vibrant life.
There are entire industries created to help us live more vibrantly. Think of travel and vacation companies, personal fitness programs, beauty and cosmetics, home décor, restaurants, and sleep aids. The list seems endless. Not only do these companies aim to give us what we want, but they also often create these “wants” for us.
But where do these desires come from? They’re based on emotions and feelings—essentially, they are energy. When this energy is in flow, we feel good. Activities like spending time in nature, eating healthy foods, engaging in physical activity, meditating, and getting restful sleep all contribute to this flow of energy, supporting vibrant, healthy living.
Life happens.
And yet, life happens. Our job demands more than we can give. We struggle in relationships. We lose loved ones. In these moments, we don’t feel vibrant but rather frozen in anxiety, grief, anger, worry, and fear. These stress responses are normal, but over time, they wear us down. When energy is no longer in flow, it disrupts our ability to live healthily and vibrantly.
Recognizing stress.
As humans, we are conditioned to cope with life’s challenges. We work hard to regain a sense of vibrancy. We may become stuck in habits of buying things to make us feel good. But have you ever noticed that sometimes this effort keeps you stuck in stressful patterns?
When we’re so busy coping, we might not acknowledge the normal emotions we experience. Are you aware of how unresolved painful memories or limiting beliefs might be cutting you off from this vibrant energy? Recognizing this is the first step toward healing.
How can we shift our energy for healthier living?
We know that physical exercise, healthy eating, meditation, and sleep are essential for recharging, restoring, and rejuvenating our energy. But what if we could also heal life’s traumas—those from our recent past, childhood, or even inherited from our families? This trapped energy often exists in memories, beliefs, and fantasies, manifesting as mental imagery in our personal space.
New medical research highlights the significant role of mental imagery in our emotions. Have you heard of treatments like imagery rescripting, prolonged exposure therapy, or EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy? These therapies help address and shift the emotional charge attached to certain memories. Similarly, Logosynthesis is a newer coaching and psychotherapeutic model that empowers you to use the power of words to resolve distressing mental imagery. Imagine being able to gently shift the energy stuck in these patterns, relieving symptoms, and allowing your energy to flow freely again. When this happens, stress reactions dissolve, and more of your energy becomes available for healthy, meaningful living.
Healthy living is not an absolute.
The energy of healthy living involves maintaining a variety of healthy lifestyle routines over time. It’s not about doing one thing once; it’s about continuously keeping your energy in flow. As you focus on your energy, you’ll start to notice how exercise, meditation, healthy eating, and sleep contribute to your well-being. You’ll also become better at recognizing your stress responses, enabling you to identify and shift the underlying triggers. In the process, you’ll discover a key energetic component of healthy living that often gets lost in the effort to stay healthy: enhancing your connection to what is truly important and meaningful in your life.
