I was surprised to see this street in Paris with its row of recharging stations, and every one of them occupied by an electrically powered car having its battery recharged.
An encouraging sight in a city battling with air pollution issues, in a world undergoing climate change.
It also provoked a few moments of thought about how I re-charge MY batteries, and I thought it might be good to ask you what you do to re-charge yours? Are you aware of your energy levels on a day to day basis? And if you are, do you do anything about it? Burn up, store or re-store your energy?
Oh, and I also just found the shot I took to be really pleasing. I applied one of the “Photos” filters which came already installed on my iPad……nice, isn’t it?

Yes, beautiful shot! So Paris. I still think naps are the best way of recharging. Also, I always get a boost of energy and feel-good satisfaction after posting on my blog.
Yes and that’s a balance we often find difficult – there’s no doubt we need rest (and naps) to re-charge, but how often do we find that it’s when we DO something that we get an energy boost. Especially when we do something we love.
Oh my god, you’re right Bob, man of much wisdom!! When I do nothing i stagnate. But I think it’s ok to lie fallow certain short periods when you know there’s something big, scary or life-changing on the way. Right.
I do the Eight Key Breaths, Flying Crane Qigong, the Five Tibetan Rites, Kundalini yoga, singing chants… They all balance and replenish energy. The first three particularly help build chi, or vital force energy. Eating healthy and trying to make sure to get enough sleep give me a base of energy.
And it IS a nice photo!
Nice City 🙂
