How To Boost Your Energy Fast

“Energy is the living, vibrating ground of your being and it’s

your body’s natural self-healing elixir – it’s your natural medicine.”

Donna Eden – Pioneer In The Field Of Energy Medicine

The Morning Struggle Is Real

Do you ever find it a struggle to wake up and get going in the morning?

Do you feel like your “get-up-and-go” has got up and gone?

Is one of the first things on your mind, your morning caffeine, – or other stimulants – to give you that much-needed boost so you can begin your day?

What about the dreaded mid-afternoon slump and feeling of needing a nap?

“Everything in life is vibration” ~ Albert Einstein ~

If you’re lucky enough to take a few minutes of “shut eye” / nap during the afternoon to relax your mind – – do you then struggle to fall asleep at bedtime?

Aargh – life can be a struggle sometimes!

Well, for sure, you’re not alone – fatigue and low energy seem to be at an all time high right now.

Want A Quick Tip To Keep Sluggishness At Bay?

How about trying this quick and simple, fun exercise that’ll get you:

giving some thought to the root of what might be causing your sluggishness and lack of energy
and some steps to address the problem fast!

Step 1 – Grab A Pen And Some Paper

It’s time well spent :

sitting down
dedicating some valuable thinking time
gaining clarity
thrashing your thoughts out so you can see them right in front of you

You can do this with good ol’ fashioned pen and paper.

Or, if preferred, why not brainstorm your thoughts in your favourite Wellness Planner / Journal?

Step 2 – Create 2 columns

Column 1 -Things That Drain My Energy

Now write down in that column a list of all the “things that drain my energy.“

Yes, that’s right, get it all out of your head and down on the piece of paper.

Here’s a few examples to give you some ideas and get you started, but I can’t stress enough, it’s really important that you create your own list that’s personal to you ….

Examples Of Things That Drain My Energy

I’m dehydrated and not drinking enough water.

Too much junk food/processed food.

Skipping meals.

Drinking too much alcohol (more than 3 glasses a week).

Lack of sleep (less than 8 hours a night).

I never seem to find the time to exercise.

Working too hard – not taking enough breaks during the day & holidays.

I no longer enjoy my job and don’t look forward to going to work.

Feeling stressed and overwhelmed.

Being a perfectionist – setting unrealistic goals.

Worrying about worse-case scenarios happening.

Not being able to say “no” to things I don’t really want to do.

The glaring light of a tablet, smartphone or computer before bed that disrupts my brain’s natural sleep-wake cycle.

My home or workplace is cluttered and disorganised.

What about the people in my life who drain my energy?

Something about my physical appearance, the way I look, bothers me.

I’m spending more money than I’m earning. I have money worries.

Column 2 – Things That Boost My Energy

Now, in column 2, brainstorm all the “things that boost my energy.”

If you get stuck and you get “writer’s block”, don’t worry. Go get yourself a cup of your favourite drink, take a few minutes break and then get back on track with your brainstorming!

Examples Of Things That Boost My Energy :

Don’t forget, create a list that’s personal to you, but here’s a few ideas to get you started ….

Regular exercise – If time is short, take a 10 minute brisk walk around the block for a quick energy boost.

Go for a run, play tennis, go for a bike ride, do some yoga – whatever fun exercise you enjoy.

Choose your favourite way to de-stress – yoga, meditation, spend time in nature, write in your journal.

Stay hydrated with 6 – 8 glasses of filtered or spring water.

Eliminate caffeine after 2pm, as it stays in the system for hours after you drink it.

Drink Green Tea, Rooibos Tea or Matcha tea. They are anti-ageing and help fight fatigue.

Eat a high-protein breakfast to keep you sustained for the morning.

Eat fresh, home-cooked food regularly.

Have a protein snack in the mid-morning & afternoon.

Eat an abundance of vegetables each day.

Eat Chia seeds – They help to keep your energy up and keep you alert, fight fatigue & inflammation.

Take your vitamins and minerals, fish oil, vitamin D etc every day.

Stop eating 3 hours before bedtime.

Make time for connecting with close family or friends – talking, arranging dinner parties.

Take a power nap – Power naps boost brain power & improve mental performance.

Help others and volunteer – so personally rewarding.

Dab a few drops of peppermint oil on your wrists when your energy is lagging.

Did You Find That Exercise Enlightening?

Well done you!

No longer do you have all those thoughts buzzing around in your head.

You’ve emptied your mind from all that noise.

You can feel proud of yourself that you’ve taken some time out for yourself to get really clear about what your “energy drains” and your “energy boosts” are.

You can see it now clearly on your sheet of paper in front of you or in your Wellness Journal / Planner

Did you surprise yourself with some of the thoughts that were, seemingly, lurking deep in your subconscious mind?

You may not have given them any thought for years!

Let’s Keep The Momentum Going Then ….

Now that you’re on a roll with momentum – it’s time to take some positive action!

Make a pact to yourself that on a daily basis ….

you’ll review your lists
let go of 1 thing that drains your energy
add 1 thing that boosts your energy

…. and do it until it becomes a habit you think about every day.

And, don’t forget to record it in your Wellness Journal / Planner.

I’m always keen to offer some real value when I write an article.

So would you like a couple of extra bonus ideas about boosting your energy?

Yes?

Here we go then ….

Bonus Energy Tip 1

Continuing on with the topic of habits we were discussing earlier ….

Did you know that your life today is a sum of your habits?

Well it is, according to James Clear – New York Times and Sunday Times best selling author.

I highly recommend his fabulous book:

Atomic Habits

To date his book has sold over 15 million copies worldwide and has been translated into more than 50 languages.

15 million people can’t be wrong now can they?

It’s incredibly popular and you’ll understand why when you read the book – it’s truly life-changing!

James suggests that you can transform your life with tiny changes in behaviour – starting right now!

People think that when you want to change your life, you need to think big ….

But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way.

He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions, like:

doing two push-ups a day
waking up five minutes early
holding a single short phone call.

Or, in the case of the topic we’re discussing here, on a daily basis :

letting go of 1 thing that drains your energy
adding 1 thing that boosts your energy

James calls them Atomic Habits

In his ground-breaking book, Atomic Habits, James reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes.

He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks:

the forgotten art of Habit Stacking
the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule
trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone)

and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter.

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration” ~Nikola Tesla ~

Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy.

These small changes can have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life.

It’s definitely worth adding to your bookshelf to dip into time and time again.
