There are days when I have more energy than I have on other days. On those days when I have more energy I always try to make it my business to fit a sprint workout into my schedule.
On these days I not only want to run, I actually feel the need to run. I feel like I need to spend the excess energy that I’m experiencing. And when I spend it systematically, over time (say the summer months), I find that my energy actually increases. We used to call that phenomenon “getting into shape”
On the other hand, if I fail, or somehow I’m prevented (by other inferior obligations) from spending my excess energy, systematically, over time, I find that my energy actually decreases. We used to call this phenomenon “getting out of shape.”
According to my own experiences then, when I spend it, I get more energy in return. When I fail to spend it, I gradually lose that excess energy. The feeling of overflowing energy, vitality, and potency that makes the day so worth living, will gradually fade off into the sunset until it’s finally gone. That’s the scenario I’m doing everything in my power to resist. And BTW, Pam is doing precisely the same thing.
