6 Habits That Are Killing Your Energy
- 1 Shitty sleep
routine
I will beat this horse until my arm falls off.
SLEEP IS CRITICAL TO LIVING A GOOD LIFE.
Try this:
No caffeine after noon, no phone after nine.
- 2. Scrolling
in the morning
This is an incredible way to kill the momentum of your
day.
Flooding your brain with cortisol and unearned
dopamine in the morning can leave you feeling sluggish for the rest of the day.
Try this:
Keep your phone off for an hour after you wake.
- 3. Eating
over-processed crap
Regardless highly processed will take a lot of energy
for your body to digest.
Skip the take-out if you want to feel energized.
Try this:
Eat single-ingredient foods with fewer processing
steps.
- 4. Not moving
your ass
Energy is like kindness. The more you give, the more
you get.
Gentle stress put on our hearts and lungs is a GOOD
thing. Get moving.
Try this:
Make it your daily goal to have a moment when your
heart is beating fast and you’re trying to catch your health.
- 5. Lack of
sunlight
Lack of sun can lead to a dip in your serotonin. Low
serotonin is linked to depression and reduced energy levels. If you can’t get
in the sun, you can eat vitamin-D-rich foods or take a supplement.
Try this:
Every morning for the next week, go for a ten-minute
walk outside.
- 6. Holding onto
anger and resentment
‘’ Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and
expecting the other person to die.’’ – Buddha.
Well, I can’t say it much better than Buddha.
Let go of that anger. It will wear you out physically,
emotionally, and mentally.
Try this:
Forgive and forget. Not for them, but for you.
