The question that people ask me the most is, “Where do you get your energy?”

Well, you too can have access to ageless energy if you are willing to cultivate your physical, mental and spiritual energy so that you can be action-oriented, dynamic and prolific.

How do you do that?

Be humble and acknowledge when you are wrong.

Many people are so concerned with being right that they waste their mental energy by criticizing, blaming, complaining, condemning and denying. If you’re wrong, acknowledge it, and get on with the solution or the next step. Many people think that it is a sign of weakness to say, “I made a mistake.” However, it is the opposite; it is actually a sign of mental maturity, personal strength and individual character.

Be flexible with new information.

Once you get new information, or new knowledge, don’t be afraid to say “I changed my mind.”

It is amazing how many uncomfortable situations people get into and stay in, because they are unwilling, or afraid, to acknowledge that they’ve changed their minds.

Purify your environment.

You have to sort out and eliminate all the negative influences in your life such as, toxic people, places and things. This will allow you to feel happier, healthier and terrific about yourself.

Eat the right foods 99 percent of the time.

To perform at your best, you must eat the right foods in the right balance, and portion. Proper weight is essential for health, happiness, and long life.

Exercise and train every day.

The best activity for high energy, and physical fitness, is aerobic exercise and conditioning exercises like boot camps and weight training.

Get a lot of rest.

You need an average of seven to eight hours of sleep each night to be fully rested.

Start a positive mental fitness program.

Your ability to keep your mind on what you want, and off of what you don’t want, will determine your levels of health and happiness more than any other decision you make.

Make a lifetime commitment to think and talk positively, and optimistically, about your goals, other people, and everything that is going on in your life. The more you keep your conversation focused on your goals, and on the things you want, the greater the amount of ageless energy, strength, and power you will feel.

Investing your time in developing these core values will allow you to be able to take advantage of the endless possibilities around you. You will have the constant enthusiasm, and ageless energy, that keeps you motivated and moving ahead.
