OWN YOUR ENERGY- Joby Johnson from Atomic Personal Training

What do I mean by your energy? Your energy is the spirit, soul and essence of a you.

Your energy is like communicating without words, and yet everybody in the world can understand it and feel it. And whilst your energy is invisible and silent … it is important.

And the truth is our own energy is not something we often think about.

Rarely (if ever) do we consider our own energy and even less likely is that we consider how much control we have over our own energy.

Your energy is powerful.

When you stop and think – you know this to be true.

It has the ability to lift people up and put others in a great mood.

And it can bring other people down and leave other people exhausted.

Its contagious.

It can impact you, the people in your life and every area of your life that you can think of.

Positively or negatively, it has the potential to spread like a wild fire.

^^^ so based on that I am going to ask you to consider this.

What impact does your energy have on your life and the people around you??

Our positive energy helps us make important decisions and helps us see our goals through to the end, Our negative energy keeps us stuck and can easily help us find an excuse or reason to quit.

But as I already pointed out – something so important is rarely considered.

Most of us live a life that is almost designed to give us poor energy.

Long hours, late nights, boozing, desk jobs, being stuck indoors, too much screen time, social media, poor diet, lack of sleep, over worked and feeling highly stressed will set you up to fail…

Now as always, I could write a book and talk for days about this…. And what I have written may be enough to inspire you to at least stop and think.

But… if you want to take control of your energy and live a life that benefits from all the positives above consider some of these tangible actions.

-Take you sleep seriously. Get to bed and wake up at set times. Give yourself the opportunity to get a restful night’s sleep. TV off, phone away …. Set your room up like a cave. Cool and dark.

-reduce or remove alcohol. BORING I hear you say…. Well the reality is there’s nothing high energy about a hangover.

-Get out in nature and walk more. This simple exercise has 100s of benefits for your mental and physical health and it will also put a rocket pack on your energy. We all feel lethargic when we have not moved all day and we have been stuck in doors. So get out and move!
