Thought for the Day: When you think you have no Energy left to give...You need to Recharge your Batteries!

Also known as …”It’s all about your Energy”

Don’t you wish that these energy drinks could be given intravenously? (not really ?) There are so many things that drain us and zap our energy.  Stress, people, doctors, family, kids, the list goes on.

Here are a few suggestions to help your energy blahs:

• Evaluate your nutrition, and take an honest look at the fuel you are giving your body….it may need some improvement.

Are you taking whatever vitamins you need to be taking, if your nutrition is not all that it is cracked up to be?

• Are you exercising…at all? Even walking helps release endorphins to improve energy and encourages a sense of well-being, and that includes walking between the bedroom and kitchen too!
• Get a pedometer and actually see how much you are walking or running around each day.
• Start to chart your activity and see if you can incorporate some exercises for you, whether you are the patient or care partner.  No one lost points for exercising in a seated position!

Here is the reality:  your body cannot perform well, if it is running on empty.  Tell us what you need help with, associated with taking care of YOU!  If you are going to be “IN IT TO WIN IT, YOU HAVE TO MAKE SOME CHANGES”… unless everything is perfect, then you are doing a great job J!

What is preventing you from doing the right thing to maintain your health?  There are enough books out there to tell you what to do, and I’ll bet you all could tell stories about what you’ve tried and failed at, when working on a diet or your nutrition.  But this isn’t about what we did that didn’t work.  We have to develop a plan that WILL WORK for you and for so many others out there that need support from YOU, to believe that they have what it takes to be better.

Tell us your stories on our blog, or through Contact US.  We want to help you make the difference for you!
