Energy

Energy comes from within; there's a big psychological element to it. If you're doing something which engages you or you feel is worth doing, you'll find the energy for it. I think we all subconsciously weigh up the factors that makes something worth doing (or not) at a given time. If the result of that process is a no, we'll feel tired even if consciously the mind may think we want to do it.

So people can get frustrated - 'why do I always feel tired?' a lot of the time it'll be because we're not engaged with what we're doing. So either we have to change the activity or change our understanding of why we're doing it. The conventional methods of nutrition, more sleep and exercise do help, but this misses a big part of the picture. Conversely too much sleep or exercise can make us feel more tired.

Energy is not just like a tank of water that runs down until we sleep or eat. Energy is also generated from within, and how much depends on how engaged we are with our own lives and purpose.
