Increasing your energy with these 7 simple steps

1. Eat your breakfast, your body fasted overnight as you slept and your energy stores have depleted. 
2. Exercise everyday in some form.  Exercise increases your natural endorphin's and energizes you.  Strength train 2-3 times a week with a day of rest in between to repair.  Walk, run, ride a bike or hike to get some cardio each day.
3. Sleep at the very least 6 hours a night.  When you sleep less, your body activates hormones that contribute to weight gain.
4. Drink plenty of water.  You have all been told to drink 6-8 glasses of water a day, if you don't drink enough your body actually responds the opposite of what you think it would.  You will stay bloated.
5. Be around energizing positive people.  When you are around fun, you have fun.  When you are around boring, negative, you tend to be boring and negative.
6. Limit your alcohol.  Yeah you are probably saying you have more fun when you drink, but alcohol really is a depressant, so have some fun without so much of it.
7. Stop dieting.  When you deprive your body of nutrients, you have less energy. 

These are pretty common sense steps and here just to remind you.  Everyone needs a little extra nudging sometimes.  If you need help or have questions about any of the above contact me.
