Increasing energy

I am talking about physical energy.

I do eat healthy as I eat mostly fruit and chicken, it is hard to eat hard to eat fish more than once a week because of its high mercury content but I do take fish oil.
I was unaware that vitamin D helped but I will start taking it again and I do take vitamin B-12 pills but I am I am going to ask for injections.

I try to avoid energy drinks because my uncle use to drink them all the time and he died heart attack.

I want to thank you all for everything you have posted and may the force be with you all.

Injections ftw. MUCH better than pills... I only can get them in the summer (due to living situation and stuff), but I love them to death!

I am diabetic so I can get it all year around but this is the first time I have ever asked for it.

the biggest drain on most peoples energy is self reflection and self fixation

brooding and ruminating and having serious important thoughts and opinions exhausts us to frailty in no time

unselfconscious laughing and good natured playfulness and generally being in an easy and light hearted mood energizes us and also most everybody that is around us as well

I agree with the laughter playfulness because it releases endorphin but your comment on important thought and opinions is a load of crap. If no one ever put important into anything then the Wright brothers never would have invent the airplane, Einstein would never come up with the theory of relativity and physics as we know it today, George Lucas would have never made Star Wars hence this religion would not exist, and the computer you are using right now would not exisist.

Without deep thought women would not have rights, African Americans would not have rights, Columbus would not have sailed for India and found the new world, we would still think the Earth was flat and the center of the universe.

In short by fallowing that philosophy a person would become mentally underdeveloped and will most likely never succeed at anything because they will not put true effort into it.

Ken, you appear to have misunderstood ob1's comment. I think he was relating the fatigue with stress.

Stress levels increase with the pressures we place on ourselves when having these deep and important thoughts. As I'm sure we are all aware, the adrenaline we get from that level of worry is a great energy boost short-term (though not always beneficial I.e. sleepless nights etc) but we always come down. That come down is worse the longer we maintain a high level of stress. So like ob1 said, constantly ruminating and self reflecting/questioning will run you down in the long-run.

While the stress and worry is essential to progression as you pointed out, it's not great for your health long-term, especially with regards to energy. We have no idea of the energy levels or coping mechanisms of those great people you mentioned, yes they achieved great things but could have been complete wrecks majority of the time.

When I took part in a psychological study at college re stress, the results said I should have died a few years prior lol! So it is down to each person's thresholds and coping abilities.

I'm afraid I have no info re physical energy aids as I've failed to find anything that works for me, so I shall follow this thread with much interest lol

If Einstein is the example of advanced thought? Is it possible he used meditation as a means?

you seem to have very important opinions ken and you take them very seriously

i can tell you with absolute certainty that your opinions are exhausting

im tired of them already lol

i bet you had to take a nap after you wrote that

it could be that youre too young to notice how much of drain your opinions are - be careful; youre a drain to yourself and everyone else right now; imagine how youll be in twenty years!

you might not even make it, but if you do you will be the oldest man in the world!

its very demanding to be so important

He must have done something to calm his mind, might not have been a traditional meditation but must have done something to help focus etc.

I find that most people do something meditative naturally that helps calm them or helps them concentrate

Dude you are making it really hard to apologize to you but if what Phoenix said is true than I am very sorry for the misunderstanding.
To address this letter, I am not an important man or a rich man or a powerful man I just try to be a happy man and live my life healthy and on those two subjects are the only things I ever have important thoughts on.
I a 30 so if I join the force at 50 or earlier or later it is when I am meant to and I will accept that and be happy with it no matter what the cause.

again I am very sorry for the misunderstanding and I hope you accept my apology but I will understand if you do not.

may the force be with you.
