What is the main component in productivity? Energy right? Without energy there is no mental clarity to see the possibilities. Without energy there is no power to move things forward. Most of all without energy we are easily irritated, angered, upset you call it whatever name you like.
Energy is the component that gives you the capacity to step back and be the visionary, be the one who sees how to connect the dots or the people most effectively. We all know about energy cheaters, most of us have used them or continues to use them the caffeine in it’s many forms of full throttle or just your double espresso, sugar in all the pretty. Tasty things that take us up and then crash us down, stimulants other than caffeine, and drugs of the prescriptive and non prescriptive variety. Why do I say cheaters because they give you a false sense of you’ve got energy and then when they wear off it’s either more of the same or you die.
What we don’t speak of is the long- term effects. This is not a 20-30 year plan and then you pay the piper. We experience the results much sooner. It is the fact that our adrenals get so depleted but because we have these habits we don’t really notice. I have people proudly tell me they can have a cup of coffee and go right to sleep. What they are really saying to me is “My adrenals are so shot that I can do this outrageous thing and my body does not even register it as outrageous.
What do depleted adrenals look like? Okay take away the stimulants you do for a day and see how you feel? I mean take them all away not trade in one for another. If the answer is tired then your adrenals need support and not the kind we have been speaking of. Sugar the other lover does two big things. It strips the myelin sheath off your nerve endings (Does that sound scary? Hope so) which leaves the nerves feeling like exposed wires, frayed and it puts on weight like crazy. Had someone tell me that when people started working at a certain coffee establishment that they would drink 2-3 or the yummy drinks and often put on 30 pounds in a few months. They could not figure out how it happened. Sugar is also not great for your skin can cause lots of teen acne and even adult acne.
I want to give you a couple things that can help you to reenergize right at your desk. You actually have to do them to have an experience. First one you can do right at your desk:
Desk Bowing:
Clears head and activates glands
Place fingertips on desk and begin bowing the head up and down quickly by bending the elbows. Close eyes and do not bang head.
Gift: Instant head clearing without leaving your desk.
Time: 30-90 seconds
This one says come stand up by your desk, in the bathroom, parking lot somewhere you can do this in relative peace.
Standing spine flexes:
Gets you up from your desk. Creates strength and flexibility
Standing with feet hip width apart, heels out bend knees, place hands above the knee and flex your spine. Inhaling as you arch head back and chest forward. Exhaling as you arch the spine in a concave motion.
Gift: Grounding, connects and clears both body and head.
Time: 60-180 seconds
Hope this helps you with your energy.
