I had a flight to catch at noon and was running a bit late but still decided to visit my Dad before going to the airport. He was in a good mood and spending a few minutes with him was a boost of energy.
I had gone to see him yesterday evening but he was sleepy and I did not get to deeply connect with him.
Expressing love and appreciation to people you care about every day is a great habit. A little energy investment is required but the ROE (or return of energy) is multifold. Give it a shot!
Doing what you need to do creates a boost of energy.
