I’ll never forget the time that I found instant energy. For a while I’d been trying to find the energy to get started on all the things I wanted to do. I’d be sitting in front of the television thinking “If only I could find the energy to get off this couch, my life would be a lot better.” I felt depressed and unmotivated. One day while […]
