I got Bali belly | A Post About Energy

Feb '23 in Other

I arrived in Bali a few weeks ago.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be...

Energetic.

The tropical Bali climate means one minute there's intense sun and beautiful blue skies, the next there's thundering rain heavier than you can imagine.

This climate breathes life into Bali.

The island's lush vegetation, from the towering rice paddies to the dense tropical forests, is awash in a kaleidoscope of colors and sounds.

Even the animals are affected by this energy. Monkeys, stray dogs, lizards, ants, cats all roam the streets.

Bali feels so young and energetic that it makes the UK look like a retirement country. Boring weather. No dangerous animals. Tame driving. Not to mention the lack of earthquakes, tsunamis, or any natural disasters for that matter.

In Bali the energy is so contagious, and seeps into your bones.

Until... the dreaded Bali belly comes along.

If the climate causes plants and animals to thrive, it has the same effect on bacteria and parasites.

All of a sudden, the energy gets wiped out of me.

I'm in bed.

Sleeping most of the day.

Trying to regain my energy.

And it taught me a valuable lesson.

Energy is everything.

CHANGE REQUIRES ENERGY.

So one of the biggest levers you can pull if you want to make any change in life (build your business, get in better shape, produce better work) is the energy lever.

So I thought it could be worth making this post a mega thread about energy.

What's the biggest thing you've done to increase your energy? What resources have you found that contain great advice about improving energy?

I'll go first.
