Summary

We all have times in our lives and in our days where we feel worn out and sluggish, but today we will combat these feelings and boost our energy in simple ways! We talk a lot about things we should spend our time and energy on, things like: hospitality, prayer, exercise, and volunteering. These are all amazing things that we should strive for, but so often our energy is put into the things we have to do, that we have so little left for the things we want to do. We often think of the body/mind connection in terms of what the mind can do. The phrase “mind over matter” implies that we can accomplish anything, so long as we have a will of iron. But the body is important here too. Let’s talk about some of the things we can do to get our body on board with our mind and boost our energy. Some of these things require a bit of will power at the beginning, but once you’ve started, your body will respond as well! I also share feedback about hospitality from listener Elizabeth and some fasting support from listener Dawn who shares this link to a helpful article on the topic. Please, let’s remember to pray for Dawn as she completes the process of entering the Church this Easter! Snippet from the Show There are Catholic forms of meditation, like praying the Rosary and lectio divina. Relaxing your mind and letting go in that way gives you a boost in energy. Your body needs that kind of rest. To see my resources and contact information check out the shownotes for each episode at ascensionpress.com/girlfriends

0:00.0	Girlfriends, episode number 166. 12 ways to boost your energy.
0:09.0	Hello and welcome to girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom and I'm on a mission to
0:15.1	help you know your worth as a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy in family living.
0:22.2	This week we're talking about ways to boost your energy. Spring has sprung. Let's get started.
0:42.4	Hey, girlfriends, how are you? Thank you for joining me for another episode of the Girlfriends podcast. I always love connecting with you here. I am talking about boosting energy this week because I need it.
0:49.9	I spent the last several days at the L.A. Religious Education Congress out in Anaheim, California.
0:57.5	Great, great event, great times. As usual, connected with a bunch of awesome people and came back
1:03.9	both energized by that connection, but also exhausted, physically exhausted because it's a really tiring thing going on a trip like that.
1:14.1	Now, you might not be coming off of a trip like that, but we're always all looking for ways to boost our energy,
1:20.4	especially those of us who are in the throes of family life, perhaps pregnant, perhaps nursing, perhaps chasing toddlers. Those are uniquely
1:31.3	exhausting years. So this topic comes to us from a question that I received from a listener.
1:37.7	I wish I could remember who or where, but I believe it was on social media. Someone sent me a
1:42.3	direct message. So sorry person who I interacted with. I appreciate the question because it did in fact inspire this podcast. The person was suggesting that she thinks I have a lot of energy for the things that I do. And she wanted some tips for getting that kind of energy herself because she was not feeling it.
2:01.5	She was feeling exhausted. I think she had a lot of little kids. Anyway, I'm sorry I don't remember
2:07.0	where that came from, but it is a question that I do hear from people regularly. It's something
2:11.0	that I think about because I struggle with it too. I don't always have a lot of energy. And I find
2:16.3	sometimes especially living here in
2:18.1	New Hampshire during the long winter months, those can be especially a struggle. So speaking of the
2:24.1	long winter months, I said that spring has sprung in the intro to the show. Well, not really. Well,
2:30.2	it has. It's warmer temperatures. But I am recording this out in my car, as I do, my recording studio.
2:36.9	And I'm looking out at some gross, dirty, crusty snow that's covering the yard.
2:43.9	There really aren't any bare patches yet. It's covered. We're well covered. So, but it's, it's warming up. And I know that spring is soon.
