The origin of the word “energy” according to the Oxford English Language Dictionary is:

mid 16^th century (denoting force or vigour of expression): from French energie , or via late Latin from Greek energeia, from en- in, within + ergon, work.

Work within. Well, that’s great news! Work from the inside out and you’ll increase your energy, your wellness, your health, your fitness and your happiness! Something we can never have too much of.

There are several ways to increase your energy, your ability to work from within:

• the right nutrition for your body
• good quality sleep
• exercise – not too much, but more than enough to get you energised!
• relaxation, commonly known as time out
• finding and admitting to yourself, your passion(s) in life and allowing yourself to live them.

Over the next few weeks, we will look at each of these energy providers in more detail. Stay tuned!

Meantime, have a think about what makes you truly happy. Have a look at those times in your life when you laughed without fear and freely enjoyed every minute of what you were doing – even if it was only a minute or two. Those moments are the ones you live for and there is nothing to stop you from enjoying more of them.

Catch you soon!

Give thanks for what you are now, and keep fighting for what you want to be tomorrow.  ~Fernanda Miramontes-Landeros
