Pretend you
are a life raft that wakes up completely full each
morning. Each area where you have an “energy leak” let’s
releases air throughout the day. When we have too many
of these leaks we find we are depleted before the day is
done.
Did you know that
scientists can predict how much energy you will have in
the afternoon based on what you do within the first hour
of waking? You'll learn the routine that increases
energy and many more tips you can apply immediately in
your life. (And no, you don't have to run three miles
every morning!) In this class, I will help you ...
-
Understand your personal
energy cycle and how to use it to your advantage
-
Identify key energy
drainers in your life and devise an action plan to
eliminate them
-
Determine how much sleep
you actually need
-
See how your food and
beverage choices (and when you eat them) impact your
metabolism and energy
-

your life
-

the body
Often when we think of
"improving energy" we look at our eating patterns,
sleeping patterns and exercise habits. While these three
physical-factors play a key role, they only represent
one component of the
energy matrix.
