The Life Force
What it is
The Life Force is a three-tiered structure that represents your core energy system. It consists of:
- Body: Move your body, eat well, sleep — this is the foundation.
- People: Healthy relationships energize and ground you.
- Self: Personal growth — learning, creativity, introspection.
Why it matters
When you're stuck, you might try to think your way out. But the Life Force helps you climb out from the bottom up. Small physical actions can trigger emotional and mental clarity.
What to do
- Engage your body — even a walk can shift your state.
- Connect — call a friend or be of service to someone.
- Create — write, reflect, build something meaningful.
“The Life Force is your way out of the dark.”
