Tips to Increase Energy Everyday

Hey there! 

This is Tracee and I am the health coach and personal trainer, and the creator of HighEnergyGirl.com.

No, I am neither a fitness competitor nor a supermodel – hard to believe, but I am just a regular mom who is out there, just passionately studying nutrition and fitness.

I’m going to show you the top five tips of how to boost your energy and just feel great all day

Step number one: 

Wake up in the morning and fill up a 16-ounce glass of water and slam it down. 

Now, when there’s little water left in the glass, squeeze in a half a lemon and put in a quarter teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt. This has so many good benefits for your body. 

Number one, when you wake up you is dehydrated and you need to be hydrated to have good energy.

Number two, the lemon actually most people think it’s an acidic fruit butonce it’s in your body it neutralizes your pH balance, which is super important to have optimal energy. 

And the salt, when we wake up our cortisol levels are at the highest point of the day so the salt will actually help your adrenals so that it will actually bring your cortisol levels down because your adrenals are really hard to try to bring that cortisol down.

Step number two: 

Move your body first thing in the morning. If you are short on time you can do something called a tabata workout. It’s only four minutes and everybody has four minutes.

There’s a great app, it’s called Tabata Pro and you can do a quick 4-minute workout. Essentially what you do is you work really hard for 20 seconds and you rest for 10 seconds and you do eight rounds of this.

So if I’m teaching a fitness class that I’m not actually able to work out because I’m instructing, I will go and jump on the bike and do a really quick Tabata workout.

Trust me, that’s going to get your heart rate up. 

The other things I say is find a way to motivate you to workout. I like to go to classes, I love to meet my friends at the gym either by taking a class or working out with my workout partner, but first thing in the morning you need to prep yourself and put your body into a supercharged state and you need to exercise.

Another thing is, get outside and walk whether you’re walking the dog whether you’re walking yourself with a friend. You can do it on your lunch break at work, you can do it in the morning, and you can do it after work. 

I like doing it when the sun is shining so that my body gets some vitamin D. Vitamin D is the happy vitamin. We need more of it, however with so many people applying all the sunscreen they tend to not have enough vitamin D in their body.

Step number three: 

Eat low glycemic foods, that don’t spike your blood sugar. Have you heard of the blood sugar roller coaster? Have you ever felt like you just crash and burn in the afternoon? That is because you’re eating foods that spike your blood sugar and after a while it comes crashing back down. 

You want to eat foods that do not spike your blood sugar. One really easy way to do this is eating that we have been brainwashed to think that the nonfat way

to eat is the way we should do it but it’s not true.

We need fat healthy fat like I love waking up in the morning and putting coconut oil in my coffee, roasting my vegetables and a lot of fat whereas before, I used to steam them – they didn’t even taste good. But now, I put lots of good healthy fats in my body. 

The other thing is, ditch the processed food. Anything that is processed or almost anything that this process is not good for you because it is going to elevate your blood sugar. We want Whole Foods; foods with one ingredient and at least 90 percent 95 percent of everything you put in your mouth, you want to have just one ingredient. 

Step number four: 

Rest. We live in busy land especially women like us. Professional women are driven, we are caring for our homes, caring for our families and we don’t need have enough time for us. So when I say rest, I mean sleep and make sure you’re getting quality sleep and you’re going to bed at a decent hour.

I’m telling you, I go to bed around nine o’clock every night I may don’t be asleep until like 9:30 because I have my little wine down routine but I always am in bed early. 

The other thing is self-care, take care of yourself by doing something that’s restful, that’s relaxing your mind. Do you ever feel like your mind is going in a hundred different directions? Well, that’s because we’re multitasking.

We’re trying to do so many different things that maybe we’re doing one thing but our mind is like totally somewhere else, well that is not good, we create a lot of stress in our bodies, we want to focus on just one thing at a time. 

Last tip: 

Is having a passionate purpose. When I am working on a video or working on the e-book or working on educational material or working on a coaching client, I jump out of bed before my alarm because I’m so excited to get up and just have some fun in my day and spread the message of good health. 

So think about it. What do you love doing all day long so much that you would do it all day long for absolutely free?

Is your passionate purpose?

We’re all born of the purpose – find yours.

Ask yourself those powerful questions, is what do you love doing? What are you passionate about? People need to hear what you’ve got to say. 

Find your passionate purpose.
