Why Replenish? It is no fun to live life on empty.
Replenish sounds and feels like the sheer relief you get from quenching your thirst. Doesn’t it feel incredible to enjoy an ice-cold drink on a hot day? Life, like the heat of the sun, can drain your reserves and leave you thirsting for satiation and hydration, can’t it? Take the time to renew yourself by finding ways to replenish your body, mind, soul . . . and energy.
Need to Refill?
Do you ever feel like you are running on empty? Do you wonder what is missing from your life? What would it take to plug the holes and stop the energy drains? When you see, feel, or think about lack, scarcity, or emptiness, there are ways to plug the drain holes to return to a state of abundance and fulfillment.
“You can’t pour from an empty cup.” If you don’t take care of yourself first, you may not have anything left to take care of others. Even flight attendants instruct: “In the event the cabin loses pressure, put on your oxygen mask before helping anyone else.”
Refuel
What kind of fuel do you fill yourself up with to replenish your energy? You would never pour sugar into your gas tank and expect it to perform at peak levels, would you? Why then are people surprised that they feel so poorly when they have been eating poorly? Your entire life you’ve heard the phrase, “You are what you eat.” It is true indeed. How you choose to refuel your body will impact your quality of life and well-being on cellular, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.
Healthy Foods
- Fresh, living fruits and vegetables are bursting with nutrition, antioxidants, natural enzymes, electrolytes, and energy, all of which serve you well to improve your health and vitality.
- Take a break from refueling with processed food, bad fats, alcohol, white carbs, and empty calories.
Vitamin and Mineral Supplements
- If you think your diet might not be providing you with all of the nutrients needed to optimize your health and energy, you may want to explore additional options for supplementation.
Imagine you are holding a glass of pure water. It is crystal clear and healthy to drink. But then someone drops a drop of black ink into it and the purity is contaminated. Without throwing away the entire glass of water, how can you clean the water to make it pure again? Logic tells you that you have to keep refilling the glass with fresh water until it spills over the brim and the ink is finally flushed away. Filling your life up with the good stuff will help displace the bad stuff, which in turn will replenish and renew your world.
Right now, relax . . . and do replenish, for you!
