5 Energy Boosting Tips for Busy Women
by Diane Randall
Have you lost the energy that you once had in your life? Are you
feeling drained at the end of the work day? I know firsthand that
women need to increase their energy levels in order to get more of
what they want out of their lives. Lack of energy is the number one
complaint I hear from every woman that I speak to.
Years ago I taught a software training class for five consecutive
days; at the beginning of the week I had high energy levels. However,
by day 5, my energy was depleted-mentally, physically and
emotionally. It took me two weeks to replenish my energy. Today, I
use energy boosters interspersed throughout my day to help me reclaim
the energy expended so that I feel revitalized throughout the entire
day. According to authors, Jim Loehr, Ed.D and Tony Schwartz who
wrote the book entitled The Power of Full Engagement “managing
energy, not time, is the key to enduring high performance as well as
to health, happiness, and life balance…We must learn to live our
lives as a series of sprints - fully engaged for periods of time -
and then fully disengaged and seeking renewal”. In other words, if
you identify and reduce stress triggers, learn to pace yourself, take
excellent care of your body, set boundaries around your life and
create a support system– your energy levels will increase and remain
high daily.
Identify and reduce stress triggers. Stress is an unavoidable part
of life. Identify the cause or circumstances of stress - where you
were or your physical and emotional state. Life events such as
traffic, work and family increase stress. Find healthy ways to cope
with stress. Recognize that stress depletes energy but your reaction
to it helps you minimize the impact.
Learn to pace yourself. Determine what makes you happy and give
yourself what you need. Pay attention to the parts of your life that
are most important. Create daily practices that nurture your ability
to build energy levels—take breaks, eat healthy snacks, listen to
music, focus on the present and what’s within your ability to
control.
Take care of your body. Make yourself number one as a priority;
spend your energy maximizing your health and wellness. Try mind-body
exercises, such as breathing, meditation and yoga. Be physically
active everyday and get plenty of rest. Take time to nourish your
body with a massage, which releases tension, revitalizes energy, and
helps you increase vitality.
Set boundaries around your life. Say “no” to things that don’t
support your overall priorities. Only accept requests that support
you at home and in the workplace. Learn your limits–pay attention to
what you can and cannot do to reduce the stress of excessive demands
on your life. Make the choice not to overload your schedule.
Create A Support System. Partner with a wellness coach who can
create a structure of accountability and support as you find ways to
boost your energy everyday. Remember, life can drain your energy, it
can steal it and suck it away-or, you can take steps to boost your
energy. It’s kind of like putting up shields for the Starship
Enterprise. When the shields are up and the armor plating is on, your
energy levels are stored-and you’re fueling yourself.
Take three actions this week to boost your energy. Email me at

for you. I’d love to hear about your energy boosting success!

QUOTABLE QUIPS
We are all born with wonderful gifts. We use these gifts to express
ourselves, to amuse, to strengthen, and to communicate. We begin as
children to explore and develop our talents, often unaware that we
are unique, that not everyone can do what we’re doing!
Lynn Johnston
If you want to be truly successful invest in yourself to get the
knowledge you need to find your unique factor. When you find it and
focus on it and persevere your success will blossom.
Sidney Madwed
There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is
translated through you into action, and because there is only one of
you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it
will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.
Martha Graham
