And even though I\u2019ve been teaching my many <a href='http:\/\/www.gurdy.net' target='_blank'>personal development<\/a> clients how they should start the day by switching on their minds \u2013 and I do the same myself \u2013 sometimes, within no time at all, one ends up feeling, well, \u2018I wish I was somewhere else!\u2019 or \u2018I just don\u2019t feel like doing this!\u2019  I\u2019m not talking about things that go wrong with our day, I\u2019m simply referring to what one client described like this: \u2018I get into my office, full of the joys of spring, I sit down at my desk, open up my PC and, suddenly, I\u2019m in this kind of daze.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>What is it that takes the wind out of our sails so effortlessly?  How come we can be so fired up for the day ahead and then suddenly so flat?  Actually, the answer is all too simple \u2013 flat is your default <a href='http:\/\/www.gurdy.net' target='_blank'>state of mind<\/a>.  Yeah, believe it or not, research explains that only the very rare person is tuned in sufficiently to actually be adequately focused and attentive to get through the normal day effectively.  As if that weren\u2019t enough, research also confirms that, left to its own devices, our minds slip towards negativity.  It\u2019s how we\u2019re hard-wired \u2013 and all the <a href='http:\/\/www.gurdy.net' target='_blank'>personal development or self improvement<\/a> in the world won\u2019t personal development or self improvement isn\u2019t going to change the hardware.<\/p>\n<p>But what personal development will change is the programs that we run.  Again, if we do nothing, our subconscious mind is content to watch reruns \u2013 to keep running the same old dysfunctional programs that make our daily lives mundane, uninteresting, repetitive and uninspiring.  You need to get control of the remote control!   Personal development will teach you how to switch channels and enable you  stop watching the same old nonsense.  It will teach you how to tune in to reality TV \u2013 the real reality of the here and now.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, this feeling of mindless-couldn\u2019t-give-a-damn simply invades our minds by default.  And that will forever, for the rest of our days, be our default way of thinking unless you cultivate a mindful, focused, tuned in state of mind \u2013 and not only have you got to do this each and every day, you\u2019ve got to find some mechanism to make sure that you can call on that state of mindfulness when you find that you\u2019re slipping down the inevitable slippery slope towards mindlessness \u2013 because, as sure as night follows day, you\u2019ll start slipping and sliding the moment you take your eye of the ball.<\/p>\n<p>OK, I may be mixing my metaphors, between computers, televison and slippery slopes \u2013 but you get the picture?  Our mind is always waiting to mug us \u2013 we\u2019ve got to be on the alert as much as is humanly possible.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwisdomhealthprosperity.com%2Fselfimprovementmastery%2Fenergizing-yourself-when-you%25e2%2580%2599re-simply-feeling-flat%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit addtoany_list\"><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/wisdomhealthprosperity.com\/selfimprovementmastery\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_256_24.png\" width=\"256\" height=\"24\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nvar a2a_config = a2a_config || {};\na2a_config.linkname=\"Energizing Yourself When You\u2019re Simply Feeling Flat\";\na2a_config.linkurl=\"http:\/\/wisdomhealthprosperity.com\/selfimprovementmastery\/energizing-yourself-when-you%e2%80%99re-simply-feeling-flat\/\";\na2a_config.onclick=1;\na2a_config.show_title=1;\n\/\/--><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/static.addtoany.com\/menu\/page.js\"><\/script>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are days when we just feel energy-less \u2013 not necessarily dejected, disillusioned or depressed, just plain flat, energy-less and disinterested.
