What things give you energy?
Three things give me energy
And get me at my best
Good food, air in my lungs
And of course a good night’s rest.
I have to eat meals regularly
At least three times a day
If I don’t eat I run out of steam
And fade predictably.
I’m energised by getting outside
Breathing good fresh air
Working in the garden
Or taking exercise.
And then there is a good night’s sleep
I like a good eight hours
And pausing for a little break
If I am feeling tired.
As for mental energy
A slightly different thing.
Some perk up with people around
I need time alone.
Time to get my brain straight
To strengthen my resolve
Put my thoughts in order
And get me on the road.
