Positive energy is important in maintaining a positive health outcome, Hmm, did I just repeat what I said above? Yes, because I want to make sure you UNDERSTAND this concept. Be positive, give positive energy and spread positive energy. Energy is universal, it’s like a smile, a music note, energy is rooted deep inside all of us, so make sure you use your power (positive energy) in the correct manner. Einstein said “Energy can neither be created nor destroyed”, it can only be changed from one form to another”.

Having the knowledge that you can affect someone with such a powerful force, how will you use your energy the next time you come in contact with energy, hopefully in a positive manner? Image your life if you were surrounding by positive energy, if all day you just saw smiles, or heard laughs. How would that affect your energy? You will be in a “GREAT” mood! Be Healthier and Be More Productive

Whenever I’m in a distressful situation at the doctor’s or dentist office I hum Eric Roberson’s “Just A Dream”, it calms my heart rate, it causes my breaths to be steady, it assist my vitals to be in the normal range. That one song in which my mind relates to in a positive manner, gives me positive energy. What’s your positive energy? Find your positive space, find your positive thought, pass it on and on and on!!!
