How To Be Cool and Get More Energy.
How to be cool and get more energy then you know what to do with.
That’s right. You’ll have more energy then you know what to do with. How? That’s simple. Just get out of the “judging” business. I am talking about the “people judging business”.
I did. And, believe me, it works. I have more energy now then I know what to do with. How did I do it? That’s simple. I just started “cutting people some slack”. And guess what?
Immediately, I mean like right now, I started experiencing surges of adrenalin pumping, butt kicking ENERGY! How come?
Well, the rationale behind it is simple. Most people that are judgmental about other people, are usually pretty tough on themselves. I know I was… “tough on myself”.
Unfortunately, what happens to the guy or gal who is in the judging business of other people, get the short end of the stick. He or she gets all of that negative emotion, like frustration, anger, tenseness, and high blood pressure.
Now that I cut people some slack, I am also giving myself slack. You got it. And that makes things a win-win situation all the way around! Yeah, to be honest, occasionally I slip back into my old bad habit, but I catch myself, and go back to the “new me”, be cool and get more energy.
It’s true. It’s the small stuff that kills you. I am talking about the small petty things that go on around the office or at home. It’s the same principle operating, rather it’s business or personal. Don’t kid yourself.
Once you make your mind up, that you are going to be Mr. Or Ms. or Mrs. Cool, no matter what, you have won! By “cool” I mean, you are the kind of person that doesn’t let every little thing or person upset you. Just be cool and take it all in stride.
Just keep your “perspective”. Just go to the “hospice”. Watch people die. Nobody, I mean nobody, on their last legs, is thinking about-how much money they have or how many promotions they earned!
You want some PERSPECTIVE? If you will allow me, I’ll give you some perspective. I just didn’t wake up one morning and decide I was going to “cut people some slack”. No way!
What I did do, is wake up one morning with a stomach ache like I never experienced before. Next thing I knew, I was lying in the emergency ward of the local hospital. The Docs were scratching their heads trying to figure out what was wrong with me.
Keeping this little tale short, they did exploratory surgery on me. I had an appendicitis! Next thing I know, my surgeon tells me, the lab report came back, and that the appendix had some cancer cells on it.
A month latter, a colonoscopy indicated I had cancer on the colon. After subsequent surgery, I began chemo and radiation treatment. Following four weeks of this treatment, I became sicker than a lost dog.
Too much radiation for yours truly. Back to the hospital I went. Here I had all kinds of fun with continuous nauseous, diarrhea, and pneumonia. After eighteen days of this bad stuff, I lost 25 lbs and was ready to go home.
My wife took one look at me and indicated I looked like I just escaped from a concentration camp. When I got home, I still had nausea and I was very shaky to say the least.
Slowly but surely, I regained my strength back. I now work out 1 ½ hours a day, 6 days a week. I feel almost as strong as I was before this cancer thing began. I wear a “yellow Armstrong-LiveStrong” wrist band, just too remind myself to “be strong”. LiveStrong
Having never been very sick before, I found this cancer experience to be very humbling. Yes, and I even realized my mortality. I used to joke around and tell people, I was going to buy a parrot, because I was going to live forever. My punishment would be, that I would be “lonely”. It figures, right? Everybody I knew would be dead.
Well, guess what? I found out the Grim Reaper isn’t so fussy? He will “take me” just like anybody else.
So now you know what helped give me my knew PERSPECTIVE on life. That is , hey Jack(that’s me) “Cut people some slack”. Isn’t this funny. By cutting slack to everyone else, I ended a big winner. Life is much better.
Don’t forget, if you want to get more energy, just cut people some slack.dStand for Your Greatness
