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.
