Your Main Energy Source
Here’s the important point. Positive emotions give you energy, while
negative emotions deplete your energy. When you are excited
and happy and are
interacting with people you
love and enjoy, you sparkle with energy and
enthusiasm. When you are
angry or depressed, or negative for any reason, you feel tired and
frustrated and, eventually, burned out.
You Burn A Lot of Energy
It takes 1,000 units of physical energy to operate your body and you do not
do physical labor, that physical energy can be refined in your body to
produce 100 units of emotional energy. Emotional energy is a far more
refined form of energy, and it is absolutely essential to healthy emotional
functioning.
Creating Mental Energy
If you do not consume all your energy units in the expression of negative
emotions, such as fear, doubt, anger, and resentment, your emotional
energies are conserved. If your energy is conserved at one level, your body
continues to refine it into higher and better energy. 100 units of emotional
energy thus conserved will be refined by your body into 10 units of mental
energy.
