I love to read so I decided to give my blog readers some thoughts and tips from some of the books I have read
I hope it helps

Today's book is The Power of Full Engagement by Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz
Here are some stuff I gleaned from the book:

1. Its better to manage energy rather than time
2. Energy diminishes from both with overuse and UNDERuse, its better to balance energy usage with intermittent energy renewal.
3. We must train our capacity like athlete does (preferably a sprinter) with systematic pushing beyond our limits then resting.
4. We must create specific routines fro managing and increasing energy.
5. There are 4 primary sources of energy- physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
6. Drink more water..if you dehydrate a muscle by 3% it can lose 10% of its strength and 8% of its speed.
7. Eat a good breakfast ..it's call 'break the fast' for a reason.
8. The book schools you on the importance of understanding slow and fast glycemic foods)
9. It indicates that research shows that prolonged TV watching is actually correlated with increased anxiety and low-level depression.
10. To become a fully engaged corporate athlete (or ministerial athlete) we must learn to begin to periodically disengage.
11. We must develop positive rituals that will help us develop our energy (diet, exercise routine, sleep schedule etc)

there is so much more but that's enough for today I hope you learned something.

Merry Christmas!
