Ever wish you had more energy?

Okay, so I know what I am about to say is gonna sound totally crazy to some and perhaps brilliant to others but i was curious about the ratios that I thought Ide bring it here let's hear what you all think. So here is what I think, I think people wish they had more energy but never take the time to find out how to make it ( yes I said make it). I have a saying that i think is true in most situations, its called "The Triple E Equation" and it goes like this "Energy is equal to (enthusiasm divided by effort)" so if you feel like you have no energy? Do the math, you only have two options either (1 decrease the effort required to do a given task (this is our usual approach to getting more done eg. mechanisation automation etc.) or 2)increase the enthusiasm you feel towards the action by increasing the exposure you have to the subject matter. Okay so I wanna stop hear for a second, I'm not going all hearts and smiles and peace signs on you...... At least not in this post?? Just hear me out, enthusiasm can be created and it's simple. (once you get some practice) So how can we be more enthusiastic by seeking more exposure to the thing you are having trouble doing. Let's say for example "you wanna start going to the gym" Super hard for lots of folks as I'm sure you know. So let's start by watching one or two fitness videos (anything that has a direct connection to your task will work). do this every day as far as is possible but no set times no pressure just try and keep doing it for a few months. After which take a look at yourself and decide for yourself if it works or not. If not what have you lost? .....Nothing. But if I'm right and it works. What could be different about you in a few months? I know this is just one example but you can see how it would work. be creative with it and remember no pressure the goal is to gently acquire a new hobby without the acquisition becoming the main goal or a burden. Lastly, Remember you will have more energy for things you consider fun so rather think about the action as entertainment than a chore. Now let's hear what you think am I insane or onto something?

Basically you are saying that if it is something you need to do, approach it positively and it will be better and more interesting. I would agree. Think of the things you must do as a privilege and it will be easier.

@DraydanB I wish I did have more energy. I get sick when I overdo it so wish I could do more things and not get sick or worn out.

Sounds a bit like your saying the old popular phrase mind over matter. Use enough willpower to overcome those obstacles in life. Or put a different spin on the task to make it more rewarding. I always enjoy this quote about attitude and accomplishment....

That is amazing to hear, can you think of a specific experience that made this principle clear to you or is it more of a "it just grew on me" thing?
