4 Tips to Tackle Low Energy

1. Reflect on your Negative Habits

What are some of the negative habits that are holding you back and possibly draining energy away from you? Perhaps it could be you binge-watching Netflix shows or video games all the way till past midnight. This way, you could be feeding your addictions late into the night, each day.

All these habits take energy away from you and it’s important to be mindful of that. Or it can even be the people that you surround yourself with. Those people could be taking energy away from you as well. So, that’s something that you have to be critically aware of. You just have to write it down and be mindful of what is taking energy away from you.

2. Reconsider your own Diet Choices.

Or reconsider your diet choices. Before I was pescatarian, I was suffering from very, very low energy every time I ate lunch because I was consuming meat and large portions of carbohydrates. And often after lunch, I found myself feeling very, very lethargic and very sleepy. So the next time you have a meal, I’d like you to just ask yourself this question. Do you feel right? How does your stomach and your body feel to you right after the meal. Do you feel lethargic?

And perhaps if you feel lethargic, you might want to reconsider whether this food or dish you just ate is good for you and what do you want to consume in the long term? So that’s something to reconsider. I would advise if you have an important meeting or if you have an important issue to try and keep your meals really light so that you don’t go into the meeting with like a lower energy level and or even like it was. If you bloated and you’re like burping during the meeting. And that doesn’t leave a very good impression either.

3. Take Power Naps

If you feel tired throughout the day and we all have our times where we feel like we’re at peak performance during the day and we’re at lower performance during the day, if you do have a few tired, just give yourself the opportunity to take a power now. And what is the powernap?

That Powernap is a nap that you take between 10 minutes to 40 minutes, because science has proven that after the 40 minute mark, it’s when you start to go into a deeper phase of sleeping and your entire body becomes more lethargic if you want to wake yourself out of it. So by actually setting a controlled timer. And waking up before the 40 minute mark, you feel more refreshed and St.. So that’s something to reconsider, and if you have the opportunity to to just wear a sleeping mask and just tune out of the will for 20 to 30 minutes or so.

4. Get your Vitamin D

Aside from the obvious advice, which is exercising, while you’re taking a walk, take a walk out in the sun and just get those vitamin D in on your skin and then just kind of do that sun exposure and natural exposure and fresh air, because that really makes a huge difference to your energy level.

A lot of times we are not getting energy because we’re not breathing. Right. Right. We’re either having very, very short breaths or we’re not taking deep breaths. And it feels like that’s shortness of breath also causes a degree of anxiety within us. So just notice that breathing and just notice that you’re taking breaths from your diaphragm, from your stomach, and just making sure that you’re nourishing your body with each and every one of those breaths.
