7 Tips to
Energize Yourself

Vered Neta

‘Everything is energy’ is not some kind of New-Age motto anymore, neither has it got to do with physics (ok, maybe yes…).

Today we know that all high performers have one thing in common – they all have high levels of energies and they know how to tap to it and raise it when they need to.

 
If you are a morning person, like me, getting up early in the morning and having high energy is not that difficult. The challenge, for me, I found is raising it up, when I need, in evening sessions that I need to give.

 
If you are more like my husband, meaning, breakfast time should be between 1:30-2:30 pm, then getting up in the morning and having a lot of energy in those hours is a challenge.

As you can see we all need to learn how to tap to our energies and how to recharge and raise our energies when we need them.

Here are seven tips how to raise your energy when you need it:

 
#1
Energize your body
As you start your day realize that when you’re sleeping, your muscles become sore so that waking leaves you a bit sleepy in your body. Instead of going through the motions, do some stretching exercises (even in your bed). Or just as you stand up shake your body and take deep breaths.

 
#2
Inspire your mind
Have a list of your life goals ready on your bed-table. After you’ve inspired your body, read your goals aloud, with real feeling and get excited by them. Imagine as vividly as you can how you’ll feel when you achieve each goal.

 
#3
Ignore emails and messages
If you’re like most people, you’ll be tempted to check your phone to see what’s happened while you were sleeping. Bad move. Unless you’ve got something that’s is truly urgent, postpone the electronic paperwork until you’ve done your most important task for that day.

 
#4
Drink at least 2-4 liter of clean water
Water is a known way to fight tiredness. I drink anywhere between 2.5 – 4 liter of water a day to maintain my energy. There are plenty of other good reasons to drink more water, but it was the energy lift that changed my behavior.

 
#5
Fuel your body
Breakfast defines your physical condition for the day. Fruit, vegetables and lean protein will sustain you for hours. By contrast, refined sugar creates a false high then a corresponding low, while greasy meat is difficult to digest. Avoid them.

Eat better, whenever you can!> There is a reason why they say, ‘You are what you eat’. What you eat is what is fueling your body, so make sure that the food that you eat is nourishing and comes from a healthy source of food. You may not always eat well, but you probably know already, which eating choices you should change. The trick is to avoid the ‘all or none’ mental trap. If you can’t sustain an eating regiment for the rest of your life, then by default it is a trend diet for you. Better to make better choices that you can make forever.

 
#6
Fuel your mind
During your commute, listen to motivational audio or inspirational music rather than the news or (worst of all) talk radio. Make a point to emerge from your car after your commute with even more enthusiasm that when you entered it.

 
#7
Set your priorities
You’re a leader, you know how to get things done. So decide what your real priorities are, and then make sure you make time for those and skip the less important stuff. When you sit down at your desk, don’t jump into the trivia of your job. Instead, decide what’s the most important thing you can do today based upon your life goals. Then do it. This creates momentum that keeps you energized all day.
