There are days when you bounce out of the house, ready for whatever life throws at you, and there are days when you really don’t.
The difference is often down to emotional energy, which accounts for up to two-thirds of your va-va-voom, according to US therapist Mira Kirshenbaum, author of The Emotional Energy Factor.
“Emotional energy – that is, hope, optimism, encouragement, desire – is the basis for acting in the world and for doing so with eagerness and generosity,” she says. “When this is low it’s hard to act, so either we don’t go out with people, we don’t exercise and we give up on hobbies – or we do them grimly and resentfully.”
