How To
Have Loads of Energy
by Michael Maling
If you want to feel on top of the world, you need to have loads
of energy. Here are some habits to start forming which will super charge your
day.
It is always best to implement small changes into our lives that eventually
become habits. If you focus on developing one new habit each day, eventually you
will do them automatically and you will have loads more energy at your disposal.
Start implementing these great habits into your lives.
1. Drink More Water
Make sure you have a good source of pure uncontaminated drinking water close
at hand all the time. Keep a water bottle with you, and in that way you will be
tempted to drink more. Make sure you drink at least every hour, even if it is
only a few sips. Aim to finish about two liters daily. Water hydrates us and
also cleans out our system so this is an easy way to stay healthy.
2. Chew your food
Most of us don't chew our food enough before swallowing. Next time you eat
aim to chew each mouthful of food at least thirty times. The food must feel like
mush in our mouths before we swallow it. If we don't chew our food properly, we
place undue stress on our digestive system, that will rob us of vital energy.
3. Add Something Fresh
Try to add fresh fruit or vegetables to each meal that you eat. We need at
least five servings of these a day, but the more you get the better.
4. Take a Break
For each hour that you work, take a five minute break. Get up and walk
around, do some stretches and think about something else. This will keep you
fresh and enable you to put more energy into the tasks at hand.
5. Avoid Sugar and Junk Food
This is a difficult one for most people, but this is the most common cause
of weight gain. Cut down on foods that have too much sugar, like confectionery
and sweets. You will feel so much better for it. Limit yourself to take-aways
once a week at most.
6. Get Some Sun
Okay we all know that too much sun exposure is dangerous, but get ten
minutes a day. Make this in the morning, and you will be surprised how much this
will energize your day.
7. Clear the Clutter from your Mind
Keep a notebook close at hand, and write in it everything that comes to mind
that you need to do, or even new ideas. This way you can free your brain to
think of the tasks at hand, and not have it trying to remember a whole bunch of
other stuff in the background.
8. Get a Full Nights Rest
Yep, this one is often overlooked. To function at our peak, we all need
seven to eight hours of eye shut a night.
If you start with one habit at a time each day, you will be amazed at how
much energy you will have, and how much better you will feel.
