8 tips for more energy without exercising! Day 4

Some easy ways to get more energy

You probably have a really busy life, trying to juggle family, friends and work and that may be sapping you of you of all your energy.

You may have even wondered into a health store or the vitamin aisle of your local supermarket and felt bombarded by an array of products all promising to make you feel more better. Before you know it you have an array of tablets and supplements that you are taking and it feels like they are taking over your life! And let's not forget the growing number of energy drinks and herbal teas that are finding their way into the market, each making some sort of promise to give you that extra boost of energy or to make you feel better.

The solution to your energy problems doesn't necessarily have to be found in supplements and drinks, but there are simple solutions and adjustments that you can make to your life that are free and may even make a difference to your energy levels.

Quit smoking

Smoking affects your health in a lot of ways and will also age your skin. Did you know that smoking actually can also cause insomnia? Nicotine found in tobacco is a stimulant and increases the heart rate, raises your blood pressure, and stimulates brain-wave activity associated with wakefulness. This in turn makes it more difficult for you to sleep because in effect you are over stimulated. When you do finally fall asleep the addictiveness of the nicotine will kick back in and awaken you craving another cigarette. On a more practical level, smoking can actually become quite an expensive habit.

8 tips for more energy without exercising! Day 3

Some easy ways to get more energy

You probably have a really busy life, trying to juggle family, friends and work and that may be sapping you of you of all your energy.

Eat smart

A balanced and nutritious diet that covers the major food groups in the right quantities will benefit you the most. Eating small meals and healthy snacks every few hours than three large meals a day may also be more beneficial for you especially if you find you feel tired throughout the day. This may be because your brain needs a steady supply of nutrients to work optimally. If you struggle with portions then invest in a portion plate that will guide you on how much of each food type to put on your plate.

Foods with a low glycemic index have sugars in them that are absorbed slowly. Eating them may help you avoid the lag in energy that typically occurs after eating quickly absorbed sugars or refined starches. Foods with a low glycemic index include whole grains, high-fiber vegetables, nuts, and healthy oils such as olive oil. As a general guide high-carbohydrate foods such as sweets, chocolate, biscuits, cookies, cakes, sugary breakfast cereals, pancakes, bread etc have the highest glycemic indexes, while proteins and fats have glycemic indexes that are close to zero. Try to eat fresh and prepare food at home as much as possible so that you can control what ingredients are going into your food.

8 tips for more energy without exercising! Day 2

Some easy ways to get more energy

You probably have a really busy life, trying to juggle family, friends and work and that may be sapping you of you of all your energy.

Don't overload yourself!

You may feel tired and with no energy because you are over-stretching yourself. Overworking yourself can include pressures at work, from your family, and even keeping up with friends and social commitments. Do a list of the most important activities in your day and then prioritise them with the most important tasks first. Look at the less important things in your life and ask yourself if they need to be done today, can they be postponed or can you get someone else to do them?

Try to set yourself a daily routine so that you know what you are going to be doing in any given day and when. The most organised people get the most done because they follow a routine. Even if you like to be a bit freer in your day to day life, some sort of structure to it will help you. Remember you can ask for help - don't be a Martha taking on everything and then wondering why you can't get anything done. Do one task at a time. Trying to do everything at once will only give you overwhelm and you'll never get to finish anything either. Don't beat yourself up for what you haven't done, rather congratulate yourself on what you have achieved. The more positives you find the more motivated and energised you will be the next day. And remember to make some room for some fun stuff and time out for you as well.

8 tips for more energy without exercising! Day 1

Some easy ways to get more energy

You probably have a really busy life, trying to juggle family, friends and work and that may be sapping you of you of all your energy.

Stop that stress!

Do you feel full of stress right now? Your busy life may be making you more stressed and stress can consume huge amounts of energy. Try talking to someone sympathetic such as a friend or relative that understands you and knows how to support you in the way you need. Even just meeting up for a morning coffee and going somewhere different can make you feel better. Finding the right person to have a chat and to let off some steam with can really make the difference because just sounding out your problems can help you to make sense of them. You could try joining a relevant support group or you may even find seeing a specialist such as a therapist could be useful as they may be able to give you some coping strategies to help you deal with your stress.

Try relaxation therapies such as meditation, breathing exercises, simple stretches, learning to laugh a bit more and self-hypnosis are all great ways to get rid of stress. You could join a yoga or tai chi class to help you to wind down. Learn to bring yourself into the now and to recognise when you are getting stressed so that you can start to implement coping strategies to stop yourself from getting into stress mode and to keep your energy buoyant.

Try 14 days of drinking water for your health. Day 14

Benefits of Drinking Water

There are lots of benefits of drinking water that are positive for your health. Start your day with a glass of water and aim to get 2 to 2.5 litres a day if you a female and up to 3.5 litres if you are male. Start your day with a glass of water when you get up and before you have breakfast to get your mind and body functioning in the most optimal way.

I started a new 14 day challenge for myself to do this on New Year's day as that's a really good day to start a new regime or hobby for instance, but alternatively you can start today or the beginning of the week or the month as they are also really good times to start something new. And remember you can go back to this challenge at any time. It's just a quick start up to get you going and believe me, if you can stick to it for for 14 days you will feel and see a difference in yourself.

Day fourteen

Have a better heart

If you have done this for 14 days then Well Done! One last reason for drinking water is that it improves your heart health. It helps to maintain the proper viscosity of your blood and plasma and fibrinogen distribution meaning it is helping to keep your blood healthy and its going to keep your heart healthy too because when its pumping your blood around your body its the right thickness that it wants to be.

Daily Tips

You can carry recyclable, reusable water bottles around with you to make sure you stay hydrated when you are out and about. You can get bigger ones, but you know if you've got to carry them around then they can get quite heavy so a slightly smaller one may be better and that can ensure that you're staying hydrated. Some bottles come with simple filters in them as if you need to fill up and want your water to taste cleaner. Try filtered water as well if your tap water isn't to your taste and you're not keen to buy bottled water all the time particularly if your preferred brand comes in plastic bottles and you are conscious of creating bad waste. You can get simple water jugs with filters that are not terribly expensive and can be kept in your fridge to keep your water cool You'll know when to change the filter because the water will start tasting funny.

If you want to put a bit of flavour to your water, you could put some fresh citrus fruits in there just cut up some orange, lemon, lime or something like that, although you won't be able to do this with a water bottle that filters the water as you drink it. You could even use something like DoTERRA oils. These are very good oils that are very pure and you can use them topically, but you can also use them internally because that's how pure they are. A lot of essential oils won't let you take them internally because they are not as good a grade, so you want a really good grade oil the ones I recommend are the DoTERRA oils. You can just put one or two drops in your water just to give it a nicer flavour and they've got all the citrus blends – tangerine, wild orange, lime, lemon, grapefruit meaning there is a real choice there for you to help you can find the one that benefits and suits you. Again anything that is citrusy is going to be cleansing as well for your internal organs for your stomach and your bowels so that's really healthy as well.

If you just like water as it is start your day with a glass. Get into the habit. Get into the habit of listening to your body. If you feel maybe you're a bit peckish and you're going out and eating a load of rubbish it may just be that you're thirsty. Drink a glass of water first and then listen to your body.

If you're still hungry, you're hungry, but if you're not hungry you won't want to be having anything. Drink water, drink plenty of it. Start your day with a glass of water, drink plenty of it throughout your day and reap the benefits.

If you have joined me for this try and take this on board and do 14 days of drinking water, see how it makes you feel and if you feel better, then carry on with it. There you have it, another glass of water down, keep on going and thank you very much!

Do you want a simple and fun way to be more healthy?

DoTerra oils are totally natural and non toxic. Anything that has citrus in it will be uplifting, while things like Peppermint and Lavender help to lift your mood. Don't know where to start? Try this lovely trio starter kit and look out for my blogs on DoTerra oils to find out how you can start using them for your health, around your home and in your kitchen! These oils are very high grade and of exceptional quality, which means they can be taken internally and used on your skin also.
