Tuning into your energy levels is crucial for maintaining productivity and well-being. Just like a battery, we have limited capacity before we exhaust ourselves.

Recognizing when your energy level is dwindling allows you to take proactive steps to recharge. Engaging in activities that rejuvenate you can help — whether it’s meditation, exercise, spending time in nature, or a good old fashioned nap.

By prioritizing self-care and taking breaks, you can avoid burnout and maintain a consistent flow of energy.

Stay attuned to your body’s signals and recharge regularly to ensure you’re always performing at your best. This mindful approach will keep your energy levels balance and thriving.

My wedding band is one of my most precious possessions. It is the only object I’ve worn every day for over 43 years.

When I look at it daily and spin it around my finger, I feel a deep sense of groundedness.

It is a living mirror of my love and commitment to my wonderful Wendy and the life we have created and shared. It represents the fact that we continue to give ourselves to one another and our ongoing promise to be there in both good and difficult times.

We are each other’s person and it is very comforting to know this.

My ring has been fitting a bit tighter in recent years, and I choose to see it as a tighter hug from the person I love the most.

EXERCISE:
