<p>Instead of making resolutions -- it&#39;s not like I need to make any, what with the whole life list and everything -- this year I want to focus on one thing. There&#39;s one word that keeps popping up when I think about what I want for 2011, and it is energy.</p>
<p>I want to work on getting more energy. I&#39;ve been too tired the past few years. There&#39;s so many things I want to do, but I lack the energy to do them.</p>
<p>I know that there is only so much I can do to get more energy. I can&#39;t change the fact that my kids are little, and that they are boys, and that there are three of them. But I can do more of the things that give me energy. Do you know what I mean? There are things that drag you down, and there are things that recharge you. I&#39;m going to do more of the things that energize me.</p>
<p>For me, that means:</p>
<p>1. Exercise in the morning -- I have to exercise before breakfast, or it&#39;s not happening. On the days I manage to do it, I feel so good I don&#39;t even need coffee. That&#39;s good stuff.</p>
<p>2. Spend more time with friends -- it&#39;s hard to make the time, but I never regret seeing people face to face. I&#39;ll just keep on doing that.</p>
<p>3. Spend time alone -- I guess this makes me an introvert, but I need to have quiet alone time or I go crazy. This is even harder to do than spending time with friends.</p>
<p>4. Sleep more -- duh.</p>
<p>5. Eat less junk -- I&#39;m pretty good, but I notice that when I get too much processed food at once I feel like a sloth</p>
<p>6. Yoga -- I haven&#39;t done yoga in months, and boy do I miss it!&#0160;</p>
<p>What about you? What energizes you?</p>
