The daily task that takes up most of my energy is getting out of bed in the morning.\u00a0 A good friend gave us a set of flannel sheets for Christmas.\u00a0 I am a flannel sheets virgin; and have basked in their morning warmth since Christmas Eve.\u00a0 I have never been a morning person; and these sheets reinforce my natural urges to lay around in pre-noon laziness.<\/p>\n
In all seriousness, I try not to think of daily tasks as energy drainers.\u00a0 As a type 2 diabetic, it is imperative that I expel enough energy each day to keep a balanced blood sugar level.\u00a0 Along with medication and proper nutrition, activity equals energy.\u00a0 The more active I become; the more energy I generate; and that makes for a good cycle of rejuvenation.<\/p>\n
As a Weight Watcher member, I enjoy their newest creation that encourages increased daily activity, the Active Link.\u00a0 This little device, worn on the body like a pedometer, tracks all daily movement.\u00a0 It plugs into the PC at night, via USB, to display the day\u2019s movement.\u00a0 This tiny unit has changed my perspective and attitude about daily activity.\u00a0 I now think of all movement as motivation and challenge for attaining one hundred percent of my daily goal.\u00a0 I expend all daily energy with positive expectations of gaining even more energy.<\/p>\n
As far as daily tasks are concerned; I am still trying to find some semblance of routine to accomplish then all over the course of a week or month without feelings of being overwhelmed.\u00a0 I have never been one who lived to perform all of the household daily tasks.\u00a0 Since I am not rich enough to pay someone else to do them, I will keep my focus on the resulting energy that I gain as well as the health benefits it provides.<\/p>\n
Tonight, I will return to the bliss of those flannel sheets and recharge to meet another new day.<\/p>\n
