Energy As An Indicator

When your energy level is going down, you are going in the wrong direction.
When your energy is going up, you are going in the right direction.

Someone called to offer me encouragement for the changes I was making.
I responded with, "The moment I made the choice to change, my energy increased."
Notice the foods you eat and the energy you feel.
Notice the people you associate with and the energy you experience.
Notice the thoughts you think and the subsequent energy changes.
Notice the emotions you experience and the energy connected with those feelings.

Notice before, during and after.
Observe the energy shifts physically, mentally and spiritually.
If you are inspired, this is good.
If you are renewed in strength, this is good.
If you feel more expansive and creative in your thinking, this is the right direction.

Depletion of energy indicates blocks, restrictions and withholding of your energy.
Your natural state is fully alive, ecstatic and blissful, boundless with creativity and joy.
Your natural state is strong and resilient, with ability to move around obstacles and to change with ease.
Your natural state is loving and peaceful, giving and forgiving the highest good you know.
Your natural state is abundant and generous with everything good and whole and beautiful.
Your natural state is forgiving and trusting, respectful and accepting.
Your natural state creates good from what you already have.
Your natural state is dependent only on the power of the divine within.

When you are on path, you are happy and fulfilled and focused on your own purpose.
When you are off course, you may be depressed, judgmental and minding other's business.
When you are on path, you create goodness and utilize the resources within and around you.
When you are off course, you may experience upset, neediness, envy and try to get from others.

To be on path is to be free and fearless.
To be on purpose is to experience life as fun, safe and easy.
To be on course is to feel gratitude, joy and creativity within your relationships.
To be at home is to trust in your inner listening and follow the path of your heart.

You can use your energy as a barometer.
Release the brakes of fear, judgment, self doubt and lack of faith.
Put on the gas by expressing gratitude and open-mindedness as you listen within.
Let go of your control and telling God what to do.
Let Spirit show you a better way.

Knowing you can, even when you forget,
Betty Lue
