10 Ways to Generate An Optimal Working State
Energy is the source of life. Our body produces and
harnesses it. When we are fresh and energized, we can do much more than when we
are fatigued and drained. Here are some ways to stay energetic and alert for
the stresses and challenges of this new, year. For more tips on prolonged
energy generation and sustaining it, here is a slice of the tacit wisdom of
endurance athletes I have interviewed in recent years (marathoners,
ultra-marathoners, triathletes, Ironman, ultra-Ironman, and long-distance
swimmers, podium-finishers).
1)
Spend less time at the keyboard. Sit on a
Medi-Ball (or Swiss ball) instead of a chair. Your heightened posture expands
your ribcage and activates your ‘core’.
2)
Stand up and stretch whenever you can – any part
of your tired muscles.
3)
Take a brisk walk. Do MBWA (Management By
Walking Around) at the office! Have short, mobile meetings – meetings on the
run!
4)
Drink water at regular intervals. Exercise stimulates
thirst, although thirst is not a good indicator of dehydration.
5)
Sleep adequately (6-7.5 hours at least). It
diminishes your stress, lowers your heart rate, and clears mental debris.
6)
Take deep breathes, when you feel sleepy or
tired. Yoga does the same thing under static postures.
7)
Exercise regularly. Cross-train. Do activities
that you enjoy.
8)
Stay positive with self-encouragement. Enhance
your Positive Mental Attitude (PMA). Enjoy your race finishes, race-medals,
finisher-tees and sense of achievement.
9)
Surround yourself with enthusiastic and
energetic people. Be optimistic around optimists.
10) Eat regular well-balanced
meals. Avoid foods that cause you allergies. Raw foods are a great complement
to our nutrition.
