Boost your energy, naturally
June 30, 2010
In winter I find my energy levels dip sometimes and then I’m in need of a boost. “Vitamins!”, I hear you say. But what can we do to tap into our reserves and lift our hearts at the same time?
Well, yesterday Nature put on a show which soon had me buzzing! I was sitting on a headland overlooking the ocean when half a dozen swallows took charge of the airspace, swooping close to the ground then zooming upwards and around. I found myself filled with wonder at their manoeuvrability, how they changed direction so suddenly yet gracefully – they really put the Red Arrows aerial display team to shame!
Then it was a challenge for me to try and follow a single swallow as they each broke away to follow their own flightpath at high speed. It took all my focus but I didn’t feel tired at all, in fact quite the opposite.
The swallows zigzagged all over place, up down and around, holding my full attention.
I watched them for a full ten minutes while I revelled in their infectious energy.
Finally I left with a spring in my step, grateful for the exuberance those energetic little birds shared with me and which I now carried into my afternoon.
