How Focus On To Have More Energy In Your Life (Why You're TIRED All The Time?)

 

 

 

How to have more energy and also why you happen to be so tired all the time, and the reason why this is important is that energy should be one of the most important things that you think about every single day. how much energy you have because we only have 24 hours24 hours every single day you have 24 hours I have 24 hours everybody has 24 hours, The life that you have in the life that you will create is dependent upon what you do in that time but if you don't have the energy it's like living your life like you're driving you to know an 18-wheeler have you ever seen an 18-wheeler try to get going it takes a while when in reality if you plan a and pay attention to your energy throughout the day you can get your body to move like a Ferrari. So if I were to say hey life is a race would you like an 18-wheeler or would you like a Ferrari you're probably gonna pick the Ferrari right why because it goes faster so let's talk about I’m gonna give you four key topics we're gonna dive into pretty in-depth today as far as energy goes as to why most people are tired but then also if you pay attention these and really plan them out these will all help you have more energy throughout the day.

 

 

1. Sleep

 

            we're going to talk about ways to sleep better and we're also going to talk about how to stay awake better as well so first thing that you want to think about when you wake up in the morning some some of you wake up when the sun is already up some of you guys wake up after this before the sun is up some of you guys wake up after the sun is up and the first thing that you want to do is when the sun comes out in the morning you want to try to get sun on your skin and you want to get it on as much of your skin as possible so if you happen to live you've got nowhere near you get butt ass naked go outside get get some sunlight make sure the kids aren't around on your body the more that you can get on you the better don't get a sunburn or anything like that if you live in downtown Miami when the sun comes up and it hits you on your balcony don't get butt naked on your balcony and then blame it on me you know go out there in your bathing suit get some sun on your skin there's a couple reasons why this is important number one the sun in your skin tells your brain to stop making melatonin and i'm going to give you another tip on that as well and number two it sets your circadian cycle which is the sleep cycle that you have so you want to get out and actually get the sun on your skin for just a few minutes doesn't have to be anything too long the second thing that you want to do while you're out there as well you may have heard me talk about this before is to go and actually look at the blue in the sky so you don't want to look at the sun itself you want to look at the blue  the receptors in your eye when they see that blue what they do is they stop making melatonin as well now let me give you a secret for those of you guys that are out there and you have sad which is seasonal effectiveness disorder which I’ve found that i have when it's gloomy for a while you notice like i can usually  tell what the weather is when i wake up before because if i feel like I’m dragging ass and it's hard for me to get out of bed there's a pretty good chance like it is today in Austin right now it's kind of rainy it's not the most beautiful day but if i jump out of bed it's easier for me to go to bed usually there's not a cloud in the sky so some people are affected by this by the clouds some people aren't it depends on who you are there's a thing called the Philips blue light and there's other companies that make these as well but i know the one that i have is called the Phillips blue light and what you want to do is if you notice if you live in a place with some really long winters or doesn't get a whole lot of sun what you do is you take this thing you actually put it in the corner you don't look directly at it but if you're to sit there and work on your computer you put it off to the side and your eyes will start to actually see that blue which tells the melatonin to stop being made in your brain which then allows you to wake up and have more energy so another thing you want to do when you talk about the blue is you want to try to when the sun starts to set you want to try to remove as much blue from your environment as possible so the first thing that you got to think about is your phone your phone has a whole hell of a lot of blue there's something called night shift on iPhone Samsung’s all the other phones i don't androids i don't know what they're called but night shift when the sun starts to set it starts to take the blue and turn it more into red why is this important well the same reason why blue makes you wake up in the morning is the same reason why blue makes you stay awake in the evening so you want to start removing blue from your environment another thing that you need to do you need to start thinking about your computer if you have a MacBook i have a MacBook there's something that's free it's called flux same exact thing as night shift is when it is the sun starts to set it knows where you on the world it will actually start to change the blues in your screen to red which then allows you it makes it easier to fall asleep this is the reason why you see so many people wearing blue blockers at night when they're starting to go to bed it's because if you're watching TV if you're walking around your house these blue blockers those glasses tend to take the blue out of you your vision so it allows you to fall asleep better because most of the time humans 100 000 years ago were not staying up at 11 30 12 o'clock at night they were going to bed a little bit after the sun went down right so you have a couple different things number one you have night shift on your phone you have flux on your MacBook you have blue blockers as well you want to try to get away from your phone you want to try to get away from your TV 30 minutes to an hour before you're going to go to bed and here's one thing that i don't really hear many people talk about is you also want to stay away from overhead lights so in my house we have lights literally built into the ceiling right you want to try to stay away from those at night and the reason why is because you actually have receptors on the bottom of your eyes that actually notice that there's light above your head which your brain thinks is what the sun and so at night you actually don't want to have overhead lighting on you want to have lamps that are on the ground bout eye level or lower that are actually produced in light that you have at night so what you're doing is you're tricking your brain into thinking hey you know it's about time to go to bed so that you can fall asleep you can get better rem sleep you can get better deep sleep as well turn off the overhead lights get rid of all the blue as much as you possibly can next thing when we dive into sleep itself is make sure that your room is as black as you possibly can make it like if you can make it so you can't see your hand in front of your face at night that's perfect you want it to be that way and the reason why is because you actually have photoreceptors on your skin and those photoreceptors are basically like little eyes so even if your eyes are closed your skin the photo receptors on your skin still know that there's light out there so you want to try to make your room as dark as possible do not i know there's some people out here I’m gonna I’m gonna disappoint you you probably already know the answer to this anyways you are you know you shouldn't be watching you shouldn't have the freaking tv when you go to bed it's not good for you.

1: photoreceptors

photoreceptors in your eyes are still noticing that there's light inside of the room so it's gonna mess your sleep up and as well it's going to you know it's going to um as you're hearing it it's going to keep your brain semi awake because your brain even when you're asleep is still listening the whole time that you're asleep like if you're asleep deep sleep and you hear a loud bang in your house it's going to wake you up that's because your brain is still awake so if your brain is listening to the TV all night long it's going to be keeping you out of rem sleeping out of deep sleep and not getting the sleep that you need to therefore you're not gonna have the energy that you need to if you have to fall asleep with something on get a fan you know get some white noise machine uh my dog snores like crazy he snores louder than the average human toby 12 years old snores louder than anybody I’ve ever met i have to have a white noise machine or else i don't sleep when he's inside the room so we have a white noise machine inside of our room right next thing you think about as well your bed your bed does it suck one of the things that people don't invest enough money into is their bed reason why is because they're cheap i don't know but but the reason why it's important is because of the fact that you spend one third of your life right the average person sleeps for eight hours a night if you sleep for eight hours that is one-third of the 24 hours that you have in a day right so one third of your life is spent on a bed make sure that you have a really good bed that gets you into rem sleep to get you in a deep sleep there's tons of different you know apple watches now and beds that measure it and or there's a thing called an oral ring uh whoop all of these things measure your sleep at night and so you can measure them to actually see if you really want to get deep into it and see how you're sleeping and start to get down to it and get nerdy on it you can get really nerdy on how well you're sleeping so if you want to have more energy the first thing you got to think about is how is your sleep right if you have no energy throughout the day it might be because you're just not taking the right measures when you fall asleep okay that's the first thing I think about always with energy obviously is sleep.

 

 

2. Diet

 

What are you eating throughout the day right digestion is the most energy-consuming thing that your body does there is nothing more your body does it's more energy-consuming than digestion so if you're eating stuff that's very heavy that's very greasy it's very fatty that's fast foods you're not going to have energy and the reason why is because your body is using the energy and shutting everything else down so that it can get this food out of your body because it's like we got to get this outright so what are you eating throughout the day you know if you're eating a heavy breakfast if you're eating a heavy lunch if it's greasy if it's fast food all these things that I said it's going to be slowing you down. Another thing to think about that a lot of people don't think about as well is have you done an allergy test to see if you have any food allergies because if you have food allergies that's your body going there's something that's an emergency we've got to get it out and it's going to use as much energy as it can to get rid of whatever it is that you're allergic to so what type of food you're eating normally what ends up being the best for people food that they eat throughout the day to try to give you the most energy you know you can do leafy greens light greens maybe some chicken on top of it whatever it is that works for you maybe some you know beans and corn on top of it whatever it is that that will give you energy everybody's body is different so what gives me energy might take energy away from you and vice versa so what does your energy look like throughout the day after you eat, when you have lunch are you tired after lunch that's something that you should eliminate from your diet if you're tired after lunch so start paying attention to the things that make you tired right normally what i like to have throughout the day a shake it's just easy gets down easy to digest i get a lot of nutrients from it I’m good to go for throughout the rest of the day usually my biggest meal is at dinner i just do that because i usually have a lot more energy throughout the day if i eat less that's just the way it happens to be for me and i had an interview that's coming out pretty soon with Dr.David Sinclair is the head of aging at Harvard and uh we were talking about the whole thing and you know just the stuff that you ate throughout the day and he recommends you skip at least one meal per day number one it'll make you live longer and number two it'll also give you a lot more energy right so if we're talking about diet as well another thing to think about is caffeine uh oh I’m about to offend a whole lot of people here we go in case you didn't know the half-life of caffeine is seven hours what does half-life mean half-life means it takes the half if if i have a hundred milligrams of  caffeine right the half-life would be how long does it take for it to be half of the amount so from 100 milligrams to 50 milligrams what's crazy is that the half-life of caffeine is five to seven hours so if you are a late caffeine drinker so let's say i have a coffee at 4 pm that means that 11 o'clock at night half of that caffeine is still in my body right so at 11 pm my 4 pm coffee half of that is still in my body and hasn't gotten released yet so you have to think to yourself if i want to be able to sleep better i should probably start paying attention to the caffeine that I have and the caffeine intake that i have once again half-life of five to seven hours so i recommend and what i always say is you know one o'clock is probably the lace that you should have some form of caffeine, i really don't drink a whole lot of coffee anymore even though i love coffee what I  have switched to is yerba mate reason why i switched to herbal mate is because caffeine the coffee caffeine when you drink coffee there's a massive spike in caffeine and then you know the coffee drops when you have a couple hours later the cof it just drops and your energy drops, so you might have a massive spike in a massive drop and that's why you don't have energy throughout the day if you do want to have caffeine instead of having it in coffee if you have it in something like yerba mate and some other types of tea yerba mate everybody always sends me a message and asks y-e-r-b-a space m-a-t-e that's yerba mate your liver digests your liver and your body digests it differently than coffee and so instead of a massive spike and a massive drop it's a massive spike and then it takes about five hours for your body to drop that so instead of having a massive drop it's a lot easier of a drop so something to think about think about the caffeine when you're taking it when you're not taking it and remember five to seven hour half-life is caffeine inside of your body..

 

 

3. Exercise

 

The more that you exercise even though it doesn't make a whole lot of sense the more energy that you use inside of exercise the more your body will actually start to make more energy so if you start exercising a lot a lot a lot a lot your body will start to make more energy every single day right. if you're somebody who's very tired throughout the day you don't have a whole lot of energy  one of the questions i'm going to ask you is how much do you exercise what kind of force do you put through your body through and what do you do throughout the day um if you exercise more your body's going to create more energy find out when your best time to create more energy is for you so for me working out 9 a.m 10 a.m is usually my favorite time to work out, i have the opportunity to do so because i have my own business and i work from home it might be the same for you it might not be the same for you but when do you get the most energy to work out when is your best time to work out you should figure it out maybe it's six o'clock in the morning four o'clock in the morning for you maybe it's noon maybe it's 6 p.m find out when the best time is for you to make sure that you're staying consistent with your exercise if you're tired throughout the day there's a pretty good chance that you're not working out enough and your body runs more efficiently whenever you start to work out as well and it also helps you all asleep and also helps you sleep better which in turn helps you get more energy as well. so think about your exercise and how much you're exercising.

 

 

4. Environment

 

As to why people are tired is your environment?  Your environment will make you tired as well think about the people that you surround yourself with do they give you energy do they strip energy away from you if you're around them for half an hour Do you feel more energized or do you feel like crap after you're done with them right. so what does your environment look like okay, second thing what does your job look like if you hate your job i promise you this it is stealing energy and sucking energy out of you it's also sucking your soul away probably if you hate your job right that's the way i felt when i hated my job is it was like just soul-sucking to be to be there when i was younger and i was at a job right so the job you have can be stealing your energy away from you maybe your co-workers at your job are stealing your energy away from you right um do you sit all day long think about that uh one of the things that they recommend is getting up and going for a walk even if it's three or four minutes every single hour gets your body moving if you're not moving a lot throughout the day your body is going to make less energy. so if you don't have a whole lot of energy throughout the day are you sitting most of the day right let's talk about how to make energy on demand real quick one of the things i've been doing a lot

lately i found it from one of my friends that we did it during a workout is this thing called ski breaths and what you do is you breathe in through the nose and you breathe out through the mouth but when you breathe in you take your hands and a fist you put them above your head and when you breathe out you breathe out and push down as if you're like a skier right. you do it over but you do it aggressively hands up breath breathe in through your nose hands down you breathe out through your mouth and you do it over and over and over again do that for a minute and two minutes you're gonna be out of breath it'll make your heart go like crazy and it will wake you up that is how you get your body to wake up to force yourself to make more energy so if you feel like you're, if you feel like it's three o'clock and you're dragging ass and you're not getting as much done you still have a lot to do for the day but you know oh my gosh i can't drink coffee because i won't fall asleep tonight force your body through movement and through breath to give you energy on demand your body is a beautiful thing if you need energy you can force your body to trick itself to create energy if like you know if it was a hundred thousand years ago, and you and i are really tired and we're walking through wherever the hell we live a hundred thousand years ago and uh you and i are on a walk and a cheetah pops out of the bush and starts chasing them so we won't be like oh i'm too tired you know no your body's gonna click in it's gonna force itself to make energy so how can you trick your body to exactly the same one of the ways through these ski breaths works so well breathe in through the nose put your arms above your head breathe out through your mouth push them down as if you're skiing on you know snow get the heart rate up move more next thing i think as well as as far as your environment goes how do you talk to yourself in your head like do you tell yourself you don't have energy because i promise you this if you tell yourself, oh i'm so tired you say you're tired to people if you say it out loud all the time if you say you're a tired person say you didn't sleep well all that stuff you will feel more tired if you say you're tired i promise you that so start to think about that do you say how tired you are throughout the day and then also how do you talk to yourself in your head do you build yourself up or do you talk shitty to yourself if you talk trash yourself if you're negative if you have negative self-talk i guarantee you that negative self-talk is going to make you feel worse about yourself it's going to make you feel worse and in turn it's going to steal energy away from you.
