Q: Lately I don't seem to have much energy. What's going on?

A: There are lots of things that can cause low energy. Many people make lots of money telling you that it's your diet, your shoes, dust mites, the pH of your blood, Candida infection, heavy metals in your feet, you name it.

Or maybe you're eating too much sugar and processed food and not getting enough sleep

I'm agnostic about anything that hasn't been clinically studied or I haven't tried myself, so I'm reluctant to even hazard a guess of a diagnosis.

I find that when my daily life is out of alignment with my core values and my joy, I get tired easily. When I'm doing what I love, I can go on forever, it feels like.

When I'm happy, I have more energy than when I'm unhappy.

When I'm expressing love, I have more energy than when I'm expressing judgment.

When I'm manifesting my true nature, life is easy.

As the poem in the bathroom wall of my former therapist's office say it, "Those who flow as life flows know they need no other choice. They feel no wear, they feel no tear, they need no mending, no repair." From the Tao, I think.

Not that I believe it literally - life is big, and it hits us with everything it's got. I'm not suggesting that blissing out is going to stop the weeds from growing. But we can pull them out peacefully, or do it kicking and screaming. Or we can get angry and refuse to pull them out because they shouldn't be there in the first place.

What's your best guess about stress and fatigue in your life?
