What excites you?  Do you know what gives you energy and the strength to get up in the morning as soon as the alarm sounds?

Think for a minute about what in this moment of your life gives you energy and fills yourself with a sense of excitement?   If you are in a situation where you feel you cannot think about what excites you, then that is all the more reason why you should take the time to figure it out.

When we live with a sense of excitement, everything in our lives is made a bit “lighter.”  We do not notice the person who “cut us off” on our way to work.  We do not notice a comment that in a state of non-excitement would have made us angry or bitter.  No, when we live in a state of excitement, we let all of those things pass us by!

Think for a moment at the last time you were excited?  Maybe it was your birthday and you were being surprised with an evening out.  Maybe it was the last time you received a raise at work.  Maybe it was the anticipation of a party.  It could be anything – big or small.

Now, look at the emotional state that you were in during that time.  Did you wear an uncontrollable smile on your face?  Were you full of energy and ready to “dance the night away?”  That state of excitement is something that we need to touch every single day.  We always need to find something that gives us the energy and the focus towards a state of positivity to prevent us from living in the easier state of negativity.

When we live in a state of “doom and gloom” how does that make us feel?  Do you have energy?  Is it easy to get up in the morning?  Typically, the answers to the questions is an emphatic “no.”  Now, we ask, why do so many people insist on living in a state of “doom and gloom?”

When you feel your energy levels are just not where you would like them to be, find excitement.  Look for something in your day that can get you excited, something to look forward to.  If there does not seem to be anything, create it!  That is the best part, excitement comes from within and can be created with a mere thought!

Living in a state of excitement, is much like a dog that is excited to go on a walk.  Everything else is forgotten and the joy and happiness that is created, is rewarded with the energy to carry you through the day!
