10 Ways to Amp Up Your Energy...Way Up

Monday night I was on the phone with one of my favorite clients. He all but disappeared for a few weeks and I was getting concerned.
All I would get from him were short e-mails that something was wrong.
When we finally spoke, he told me he found out his mother was diagnosed with a recurring bout of cancer.
The very next day, he and his wife got a call from the camp in Maine where his 9 year-old son was attending. His son had hit his head while diving off a dock into the water.
Emergency workers airlifted him to a hospital in Boston as they feared his neck was broken.
For the next couple of weeks my client and his wife were trying to find out if their son would be permanently paralyzed. Eventually he recovered enough for his parents to bring him home to continue recovering. Days after that, he recovered well enough for my client to bring him back to the camp. Nothing like the resilience of a 9-year-old!
Never-the-less it was a close call.
And while his past three weeks of experiences are extreme, I've been noticing others I've been working with this week to be going through some rough patches as well.
Perhaps you too?
What compounds things when you're in your "funk" is you also lose the energy to do something about it... thereby intensifying the funk, making it even harder to break out of it.
Before we get into some ways to break downward spiral, do know the best way is to slowly reverse it. Do not try to made huge shifts quickly. Just go at a pace that works for you:
1. Take a break at the office-you will be much, much more productive when you return to your environment after clearing up your energy.
2. Go for a run/bike ride/walk-getting the blood pumping and flowing clears your head and energy quickly.
3. Play with your dog/cat-shifts your focus from what you were thinking about.
4. Ask a small child to help you laugh- kids are incredibly creative with this one. Just give them permission to let it rip!
5. Meet a friend-let them know your deal and ask for support in working through it with you. Coffee is on you!
6. Blast the tunes!-with your favorite music. Make sure it is uplifting! For many of us, this is a fast way to shift the energy.
7. Rent a comedy DVD-laughing gets your blood flowing and air moving through your lungs, thereby shifting your energy and focus.
8. Get out of the house... go someplace beautiful and out of the ordinary-the key is breaking out of what is "familiar" for you. Having a new environment forces you to have new thoughts and perspectives... and keeps you more alert on the present... not the past or future.
9. Scream as loud and for as long as you can-in private so you don't freak people out! While doing this, change the tones and pitches of your voice as you let it rip. It is all about getting energy and air running through your body.
10. Smile for 10 minutes... straight! Can you do it? If so, it will be something to brag about. It is almost impossible to have negative energy while smiling... try it!
When you are playing a big game in your business or life, you will get knocked around a lot. Life will continue to throw at you what it will throw at you.
Just know the important thing is not that you will have less bumps in the road, rather how you manage them.
The most important way I know to do this is by keeping your emotional and physical energy at peak performance. For it is your energy that allows you to attract what you most desire in life.
That way when life throws another obstacle, you'll be smiling.
Action Steps for the Week:
Do an "energy audit". How are you feeling? How does it compare with the past few weeks? Go back as far as necessary until you get a read on how you are feeling right now. Is it a longer-term or shorter-term thing? Slowly ramp up your energy accordingly.
If your energy needs a jolt, pick three of the 10 Ways to Break Out of a Funk and do them... in the next 60 minutes!

Where to print a book Where to print a book - [quote:39vg8s93]So, writing a chapter a day, I finished in a month, and Kidpreneur: Genius Ways for Kids to Pay For College was born. Currently my book is self published -- I just printed up 100 copies to give to all the people featured in the book, teachers, and some more to sell at $20.00 a piece (it costs $10.00 a copy at Kinko's, so it's not really an outrageous price). [/quote:39vg8s93] If at all possible, you need to stop using Kinko's now and go price some real printers. It should cost only a couple of dollars a piece, if that, to print your book. Admittedly you'll have to buy in bulk, but the overall savings - selling a $2 book for $20 so that you make an $18 profit instead of a measley $10.... is something every kidpreneur should think about!
Revenue Streams for Websites Revenue Streams for Websites - Too funny, I was just reading a book: Multiple Streams of Internet Income: How Ordinary People make extraordinary money on line, by Robert G. Allen. 2001 That's a misnomer, though - they're not ordinary people, they're people with established careers who can take their expertise and exploit it on the web. Ways to generate income? 1) Sell your own material on the site. Ebooks, etc. 2) Join various affiliate programs that match what your website is about. 3) Google adsense - All my money comes from this... it's started out slow but as readership of my sites grown, the income has grown. Nothing to write home about yet... 4) Google adwords - the advertisers whose ads show up on Google Adsense. Unless you're selling big ticket items on your site you don't want to use it, your keywords can cost from 20 cents upwards.
Re: Need A Review Of My Internet Marketing Blog Re: Need A Review Of My Internet Marketing Blog - Hi Jay, I tend to agree with the others. You have obviously put a great deal of effort into your site which you can be proud of and the content is great but there is just too much of it. As soon as I landed on your home page I was immediately distracted by a pop up message followed by another banner at the bottom-not good. I want to see your site and what you have to offer. A lot of visitors will just exit out at this point when what you want them to do is stick around and ‘take action’ by signing up to one of your offers. Try to streamline your site into your banker offers and a few others and if you want to lead people away from your front page to specific niche offers all about perhaps ’surveys’ or ‘data entry’ then just include a side widget for something like ‘Other Ways To Make Money On The Interent’ and take them away to another page with different banners etc but not all on your front page as they will be totally confused by all the offers and leave. My site below is very new with limited content to very specific offers and over the coming months I will be developing it to cover other linked pages to other areas of interest for the visitors, best wishes, Mal.
