All living things and biological systems need balance. This biological harmony could be the maintenance of your body heat, cells keeping themselves hydrated, or even the balance of predators and prey in an ecosystem. Every living thing on the planet, and even the planet itself, craves balance. But what is the role of energy balance in your well-being?
Homeostasis is the balanced internal state of living things as they deal with external factors like weather, stimuli, and their general environment. When you get cold, your body temperature heats up. When your hydration levels dip, you get thirsty. This is all your body seeking homeostasis or biological balance.
Our body has to work to address imbalances, so we’re much calmer when our lives are stable. A steady emotional state, the equilibrium of our caloric needs, and the maintenance of our hydration levels are important, but the same is also true of our energy.
While we may not immediately think of it, our energy needs should be met by the food we eat. Other factors impact our energy, like the efficiency of our energy use, the energy drains in our lives, and even external sources of energy like inspiration, the love of family and friends, and connecting with nature.
Health issues can arise from the imbalance of our energy. After all, our diet is entirely about energy, and we all know about the perils of heart disease and diabetes. If we are emotionally dysregulated, we can end up energetically depleted or mentally ill. Additionally, energetic imbalances can set off a domino effect across various areas of our lives.
This post covers the idea of balance and looking at different forms of energy in your life, and some strategies for keeping them in alignment.

A Balanced Diet
One of the most common forms of energy is the caloric energy we get from food. We’re all aware that if you consume too many calories, your body will convert them into fat. Some of these fats can be healthy, and some can lead to cardiovascular issues, inflammation, and other health problems.
While diets are often viewed as restrictive ways to shed a few pounds, it’s important to define your diet for your nutritional needs. What do you need to feel your best? What does your body need vs. what are you craving? We live in a culture where you can overeat because your body is not getting its needs met.
Junk foods are called that because they are calorie-dense but lack proper nutrients and often don’t fill you up. They have the double whammy of causing you to consume twice as much for half as much value.
The balance of what you consume and what you use is vital. While everyone’s body can be different, as you age, your fat tissue can struggle to release energy, which can increase your chances of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
The focus should not be on aesthetics or pleasure. While those are valid, your priority should be eating to maintain your energy and avoiding excess for the sake of your health.
Some tips for getting your diet balanced are:
- Always have green vegetables in your meals. These add fiber, live nutrients, and minerals to your diet while aiding in proper digestion.
- Avoid processed foods. Not only are they full of chemicals, but they’re often designed for you to overconsume to buy more. They’ll often negatively impact your hunger levels and your digestive process.
- Consider incorporating superfoods. They’re “super” because they have a high amount of nutrients for their size, ensuring you get what you need efficiently.
- Try fasting for a period in the day or once a week. By fasting, you reallocate your body’s resources from digesting to healing. This can help your body remove old, sick, and senescent cells and help establish a balance to any excess of calories.
A Balance of Movement
In addition to what we consume, we also need to be sure to move our bodies. This can include getting steps in and doing cardio to burn through some of the calories you’re consuming. Your favorite snacks and sweet treats can turn into dangerous plaque in your arteries or excess body fat that can hurt you if you don’t stay active.
While aesthetics can be a solid motivator for working out, mobility and sustainability should be. Move your body because it feels good and can help you feel better. People with “great bodies” can be unhealthy or hurt themselves in the pursuit of attractiveness. Focusing on how you feel ensures you give your body what it needs: regular exercise, stretching, and mobility.
In the same way dogs can get anxious if they don’t go out for a walk, your body can be craving physical movement. It’s easy to get distracted by work and obligations and neglect these basic needs. Many people lead sedentary lives with office jobs, but getting proper physical exercise and movement is important to balance your energy: working off nervous energy, caloric energy, and encouraging the flow of energy throughout the body.
Additionally, a sedentary lifestyle has been connected to higher mortality and disease rates as it affects insulin function, the cardiovascular system, and increases mortality rates.
Yoga is a great practice to cultivate more balance and movement in your life. You want to encourage movement to protect flexibility, mobility, and ensure that you maintain your same range of motion as you age. Yoga has the added benefit of focusing you on breathing and connecting with your body, which can increase relaxation, decrease overthinking, and spread balance across all areas of life.
Some tips for maintaining a balance of motion include:
- Try strength training and conditioning to protect your muscle growth and function for the future
- Find a way to incorporate joyful movement into your life: running, skipping, dancing, or swimming. If it brings you joy, try to do more of it to ensure you maintain your energy levels.
- Move your hands, arms, feet, and legs in circular motions to stretch and preserve your range of motion.
- When you have to sit for long periods, try to take a quick movement break every 20-30 minutes. Walk around, stretch, or move your body.


A Balanced Emotional State
One of the biggest drains of our energy can be emotional overreactions, dysregulated drama, and general emotional drains from our relationships. It can be easy to get sucked into anger, catastrophizing, self pity, or insecurity. These can all waste energy as we try to calm ourselves down or bring ourselves back up from the darkness.
We don’t all come from healthy family backgrounds or have the tools to manage our emotions. This can often compound as we make decisions from a negative emotional place, which only brings more emotional unrest. If you’re stressed, you can make mistakes, if you’re sad or angry, you can react in a way that alienates someone, making you more sad or angry.
Relationships that leave us emotionally dysregulated, dramatic moments, and emotional stress all sap our energy and can drain it faster than we realize. We then have to use more energy to try to feel better.
When you’re stressed, you can activate your body’s sympathetic nervous system or “fight or flight” response. This can keep you primed to react and lock out your higher logic. Now you have to activate your body’s parasympathetic nervous system to get yourself down to a baseline emotional level to regain greater control of your faculties. This can waste energy, time, and overall throw you off balance.
Some tips for emotional balance:
- Meditate to help encourage greater emotional regulation. Meditation helps you not let your brain or body get too far ahead of itself.
- Journaling gives you a place to put your emotions. It also gives you a way to work through complex emotions to simplify the problems you’re having. Over time, journaling can help you discover patterns.
- Therapy is the new normal. Having a second set of eyes on your emotional life can help you avoid any emotional landmines and help protect your peace of mind.
- Boundaries help you preserve your peace. This is also a way of renegotiating how you let things affect you internally. When you’re emotionally triggered, it’s a sign from your body to renegotiate your boundaries either with others or yourself.
A Balance of Energy in the Body
Taking an Eastern approach, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views health in humans as the proper flow and balance of energy in the body. This energy is referred to as qi (chi) and can have different forms. In TCM, everything from your diet to your lifestyle can affect this energy flow.
Different imbalances in your body can affect these energies. This framework can help you look at the energy of your mind-body connection. Western medicine focuses on symptoms, and while it’s not incorrect, TCM looks at the whole human. It looks at a matrix of different variables like blood flow, inflammation, diet, energy levels, and reviews different body parts like your eyes, tongue, and different pressure points..
An excess of emotions, poor habits, and certain imbalances can lead to health issues. While Western medicine can identify these for you, TCM can offer alternative and supportive treatments and also help you address deeper underlying issues manifesting as these issues.
Some tips for managing energy are:
- Consider energetic practices like qigong or tai chi to move energy through your body.
- Try breathwork or Reiki to help address any underlying emotions or tension in the body and address blockages.
- Consider visiting an herbalist or trying acupuncture/acupressure. This can help with the energy misalignments or depleted energy.
Speaking of energy, what do you do when you need more?


Quantum Energy: A Balance Booster
One natural way to boost your energy is with quantum energy. At the atomic level, all energy functions the same, but how it impacts our body or the environment affects how we look at it. Quantum Energy is essentially pure net positive energy.
Electricity is the movement of electrons. This can happen in our nervous system, in the device you’re reading this on, and even beyond what we can observe. Quantum energy has an excess of electrons, so it can protect you from energy thieves in your environment.
On the atomic level, quantum energy can help neutralize energy thieves like EMFs by addressing their electron imbalance before they attack your cells. Quantum energy is also able to give electrons to your cells and offer energy across the board. Studies have found that quantum energy can increase cell recovery and also promote increased production of ATP. This is the unit of energy in your cells.
Quantum Upgrade allows you to purchase regular access to quantum energy sent directly to your home, business, or even yourself. You can also choose specific frequencies to help address whatever is throwing your energy off balance, like: Focus, Self-Love, Prosperity, or even Cell Rebalance.
Final Thoughts
Being balanced and in alignment is your body’s ideal state. And yet, so many aspects of our life can throw our energy, emotional state, or even our literal bodies off-balance. Energy is the sum of all of our lifeforce, and as such, we should keep it flowing and balanced.
While we can’t always control when our energy gets drained, we can get a boost of quantum energy with Quantum Upgrade to help address these drains and depleted moments.
