10 Reasons Your Energy Levels Are F*cked

<< THREAD >>

I used to wake up feeling lethargic & go through my days feeling like a zombie.

The result:

- my business suffered
- my relationships suffered
- my happiness suffered

You don't have to live this way.

Avoid these 10 mistakes to live a HIGH energy life 👇

#1: Carb Heavy Breakfast

Front-loading on carbs tends to lead to an "energy crash" (this is especially true for today's common diets of ultra-processed foods).

The solution?

- intermittent fasting

OR

- a high-protein breakfast

#2: Input

This has the ability to transform your life...

- your peers
- the food you eat
- content you consume

ALL impact your energy & mood.

Swap the mainstream news for a podcast.

Trade your negative "friends" for high-energy supporters.

Input = Output

#3: Alcohol

Alcohol is a depressant.

- Disrupts REM sleep
- Impairs brain function
- Increases stress & anxiety

⬆️Energy

#4: Lack Of Exercise

This may puzzle you...

Doesn't exercise take up your energy?

NOPE.

Exercise is shown to release endorphins and also contribute to improving heart & lung health.

This ultimately gives you MORE energy to tackle anything throughout your day.

#5: Meaningless Tasks

You spend too much time on things that don't move the needle.

This leaves you tired and frustrated.

Adopt the 80/20 rule:

It states that 80% of the results come from 20% of the actions.

Use this to audit your day.

Focus 📈
Energy 📈

#6: Poor Sleep

Does your phone work if you never recharge it?

Nope.

Why would your body be any different?

- No screens before bed
- Set a consistent bedtime
- Lights out on time, no excuses

Aim to get 7-9 hours of sleep every night.

#7: Corrupt Cortisol Pattern

An optimal cortisol pattern is one that has a spike shortly after awakening and slowly tapers down throughout your day.

Here's how it's done:

- get light upon awakening
- exercise earlier in the day
- avoid food & stress at night

ENERGY 🚀

#8: Naps

You nap because your sleeping habits are subpar.

More naps = more trouble falling asleep at night

It's a nasty cycle.

If you want to perform with high energy all day, you must avoid naps.

#9: Dehydration

Dehydration is terrible for your energy levels:

- sleepiness
- headaches
- muscle cramps

Aim to drink about 0.7-1 gallons of water per day.

#10: No Purpose

When you've identified the true purpose that makes you tick, springing out of bed every morning becomes EXCITING rather than a chore.

No purpose = no energy

Clear purpose = clear energy

Take time to journal this out and gain clarity.

Imagine what that energy would do for your:

- income
- relationships
- quality of life

You deserve to live with HIGH ENERGY.
