SUPERCHARGE WITH SUPERFOODS
Ensure you never run on empty by
eating energy rich foods every four
hours. A balanced whole food diet
that consists of carbohydrates,
protein, fat and fiber will keep your
cells jam-packed with energy.
MEDITATE
Exhausted - again?
Energy is today’s hottest
commodity and many of us find
it’s in short supply! Life is meant
to be lived at full speed, but
how can you live large if you’re
experiencing a personal energy
crisis? An abundance of energy
means you can power up your
day, be brilliant and rock into the
evening. Check out these energy
boosters to power up:
Quiet your mind to recharge your body. It may
surprise you to learn that although meditation is
an energy booster, it’s the clearing of stress that
will leave you refreshed. Stress sucks energy, uses
up our feel-good adrenaline and leaves behind
damaging cortisol. Meditation neutralizes stress,
giving us an automatic reset to our energy levels.
SLEEP
GRATITUDE WALK
Every day take at least ten minutes to
walk outside. Focus your thoughts on
all the things in your life that make
you happy. This exercise/emotional
connection combination floods your
brain and body with endorphins and
leaves you feeling magically refreshed.
Get your zzzzz’s to rejuvenate your
energy. While you sleep, your body
works hard to rebuild cells and remove
toxins. Getting seven to nine hours every
night will give your body a chance to
refuel your serotonin levels and help you
wake up feeling happy and energized.
CHECK YOUR ATTITUDE
AMP UP FLUIDS uuuuuuu
Dehydration damages your vitality during
every season - not just in the heat. Your body
steals fluid from your blood to keep your cells
hydrated for optimal function, making your
blood thick. Your heart then has to work harder,
ultimately forcing you to slow down. Get your
daily eight to nine glasses of water to keep
fluid levels amped up.
