When you’re abundant with energy you can do anything and you are more likely to climb to the top of your primary field of interest. Your level of energy influences your overall happiness, your enthusiasm for taking on challenges, your confidence facing adversity and your influence with others. Energy is something daily that has to be sustained over the long term. Crush it and still be happy!

HOW

You have to take responsibility for your energy and GENERATE it. People don’t “have” energy or happiness they have to generate it themselves just like a power plant generates energy. As a person you can generate energy by transforming the way you think and feel about any given situation (from negative to positive). Don’t wait for joy, motivation, love, but choose to generate it!

Any power plant that generates energy has a certain capacity and if it’s running above capacity it will blow itself up. For this plant to keep running at its full potential it will have to schedule PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. As a person you can do this by scheduling several pitstops during the day. You can do this by leaving your seat and drink some water. Come back and ask: “What’s most important for me to focus on this next hour? What’s my intention here?”. Every time you do this you have a new opportunity to restart awesome! Remember when you take your pitstop don’t check your phone, mails, social media,… because the goal is to recharge. 3 practices to dramatically boost your energy:

RELEASE TENSION, SET INTENTION (MANAGE TRANSITIONS DURING DAY)

Reflect on activities you have during the day. Do you ever carry over negative emotions from one activity to another or from one place to another (work to home, meeting to meeting,…)? Consider using the transition time to release tension and set intention for the next activity.

1. When you transition from one situation to the next, take a deep breath, close your eyes and tell yourself repeatedly “release” to release the tension in your face, neck and shoulders.
2. Then set an intention for your next activity on how you want to feel by asking yourself: “What is the primary feeling I want to bring into this situation?”. Examples of feelings to bring: curiosity, patience, enjoy, relaxation, gratefulness, warmth, appreciation, intensity,…

Decide to dictate your feelings yourself and generate more of the feelings you want more often.

BRING THE JOY

You can choose how you want to feel at every moment throughout the day. To bring joy, you can master your thoughts and guide them toward positive states of mind. You can do this by creating triggers in your environment that remind you of bringing joy. For example, when you see this mug It will remind you to take charge of your own happiness and joy.

Another good practice to “bring the joy” is to start your day with these simple questions: 1. What can I be excited about today? 2. What great challenges can I set for today? 3. What or who might cause me stress, and how can I respond in a positive way? 4. How can I prepare for moments during the day when things can go wrong? 5. Who can I surprise today with a thank you or appreciation?

Create an awesome environment around you by bringing positivity into social interactions!

OPTIMIZE HEALTH

Start taking care of yourself! Everybody knows what to do: Exercise, eat healthier food and sleep 7 – 8 hours per night. Despite this common sense many people give excuses why they are not able to do this For example, they say they don’t have time for this. STOP making excuses and start putting yourself as a first priority and implement habits to live a healthy lifestyle. Your life will become so much better and you will feel a lot more energetic!
