Plug it in.

When your phone runs out of battery, you don't expect it to charge itself. You plug it in into an external source of energy. Same with your car. If it runs out of fuel, you don't expect it to go anywhere unless you pour some fuel into it.

But what about ourselves? When we are running out of energy, motivation and positivity, we somehow expect ourselves to refuel on our own instead of finding an external source.

Here are a few that might help: being in nature, spending time with friends, eating healthy food, drinking ample water, getting a good sleep, reading a book or listening to it or a podcast.

Here are some books that might help:

• The Art of Possibility by Rosamund Stone Zander & Ben Zander
• Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert
