January is the month that can be very significant; most of us have a list of new year’s resolutions and are eager to follow through. Today we want to discuss what should be on top of that new year’s resolution.
The foundation of willpower and grit is that you have enough energy to take action. Increasing your energy power and restoring it after you are depleted is the key to establishing an exceptional year. In this article, we want to share some key things you can do to boost your energy. It’s not about diet, sleep, following a routine, or exercise; those things are essential, but also, let’s be realistic, doing all those things require energy and grit.
Let’s dive into the deepest core of what gives us vital life energy.
First, it’s your breath. How you breathe and how mindful you breathe can drastically increase or decrease your energy level. Why meditation, yoga, and aromatherapy are so popular nowadays? Think about it, and it changes the way you inhale and exhale. And most importantly, it’s free; it’s accessible at any time, and comes to you naturally, with or without you noticing it. So spend 30-60 seconds here and there to observe your breath, and see how your energy level shift when you are just being aware of your breath.
At Tea Spa, we train our practitioners to practice mindfulness breathing during service sessions, so you can receive all the good energy while getting that professional touch. We also designed many healing services to help you increase your energy levels, such as Stress Reduction Massage and Hawaii Healing Massage; try to add aromatherapy on your next massage and feel the difference.
The second thing that can shift your energy level is to charge yourself from the natural. Many natural things give us energy; one example is walking in the natural because you are surrounded by everything made naturally. If you spend most of the time indoors, don’t worry; try to diffuse some essential oil, see the beauty of a plant or flower, hold or near a crystal, enjoy a cup of tea, open up your curtains and let the sun charge your room and yourself. When it’s nighttime, light a candle, soak yourself in a warm bath with some natural salt and take care of your skin with a natural product without harsh chemicals. There are endless ways to charge yourself; it might take 1 second, 1 minute, 1 hour, and while you are doing it, remember that you deserve all the time in the world to add that fuel.
And Tea Spa, those fresh plants and flowers, the soothing music, the flickering candles, the organic essential oils, our high-quality products, the different crystals placed around the spa, the healing sound bowl, and the hot tea and dessert after your service are for you. We select everything to elevate your energy; we design our space to offer the most healing.
The third thing that can shift your energy is what you allow to let into you. An easy example is if you let fresh water or juice into your body vs. a heavy milkshake into your body, the energy level can certainly be different. Another example is if you read a well-written book vs. watching random short videos, your brain will be activated at different energy levels. A more complex example is when you encounter something that can be hurtful to you, do you let it in, or do you let it go and not take it personally? And when you feel something is troubling you, do you take the time to look into yourself or find distractions to ignore that feeling?
Energy is simple; the more you let light and wisdom into you, the more power you will gain. The more you let hate and darkness into you, the more you will feel drained. And the more you explore yourself, the more freedom you will experience; the more you find ways to ignore your truth, the more you will feel trapped.
We are trapped in our emotions and past pains to a certain extent because we are human. That’s why we must let go of what’s not serving us, find ways to self-care, and create time and space to refill our cups. So we can keep pouring from a full cup.
At Tea Spa, the touch we offer is from our hearts because that is what will give you abundant energy. As the founder of the company, my mission is to find the right people who can transmit great energy to others, so after each spa visit, you are not just physically well, but your energy is renewed profoundly.
We hope you find ways to shift your energy this year and experience something you never imagined.
