This morning, I asked my 10-year-old son, “What does fuel mean?”
He said, “Anything that brings you energy.”
I absolutely love this definition!
There are so many ways that we fuel ourselves…intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and physically…everything we consume is fuel.
All of this fuel equals energy.
It is kind of fun to think about WHAT we consume and HOW this relates to our ENERGY.
One very simple and obvious example of this is the food and drinks we fuel our system with. We know that healthy fuel will make us feel healthy. The yucky garbage fuel is probably going to make us feel yucky, like garbage.
We can think about ALL the other aspects of what we are fueling our systems with: the people we surround ourselves with, the environments we put ourselves, and in the type of content we consume with shows we watch, the literature we read, and the podcasts we listen to. ALL of our fuel plays a part in how we FEEL and the ENERGY we have.
This is an itty-bitty, non-paid endorsement reminding you that FUEL = ENERGY…
…AND, we get to control, or at least (oftentimes), we get to have a choice in the TYPE of fuel we consume, which can CREATE our energy.
How do you choose to fuel your mind, body, and soul?
Please share in the comments on social media.
Doesn’t the feel-good FUEL feel good?
As always, if this, or anything else that I create fuels you to feel good, you are invited to SHARE it, to CONNECT other people to feel good, which SUPPORTS all of us feeling good!
For me, lately, when I can take some itty-bitty moments out of my day to breathe in fresh air and elements/creatures in nature, I find this, not only calms and centers me, but it refuels me with a more fulfilled kind of energy.
Another time my son and I reflected on a word of the day in nature:
A similar example of this concept:
One place where my son and I like to go to reFUEL and have FUN:
(P.S. Their fall menu is OUT and I just savored the toasted marshmallow & chai latte…Oh.MY.goodness!!!)
