Do These 5 Things to Increase Your Energy

 


Ready to give that energy of yours a boost?
Here are the top 5 things you can start doing today and make the shift!

1- Create a morning routine
My morning routine takes just under two hours. I can't stress enough the importance of a great morning routine; it will set you up for a successful, energetic day and life.
I experimented with a few different things and figured out what worked for me. You should do the same, and soon you'll know what works for you, and you'll enjoy starting your day that way.

2- Eat real, high-quality, fresh food
Purchasing and eating freshly-grown fruits and vegetables is the best way to ensure there are no preservatives, chemicals or dyes added to your food. It keeps your body running on clean sources for energy and naturally you'll feel more vibrant and energetic. (try the smoothie recipe below!)

                                                                    More Fruit, Less Fuss!
                                                
One of the easiest ways to get some fruit into your beautiful body is by making a smoothie! I know smoothies get too much hype and sometimes they just sound too complicated or fancy or...But the truth is, it can be super simple, easy and without the extra fuss. 

I personally think the simpler the better, so I choose to make mine with water, sometimes with greens and sometimes only fruits, especially in the mornings. The 'only fruit' option is easier on my digestive system, and if I'm having one in the middle of the day, I may also add a little extra boost to it, like a super food, or some clean plant protein. 

This is what I made this morning:

2 Bananas
1 cup Blueberries
1 cup Frozen Wild Blueberries
Water

It's tasty, nutritious, loaded with antioxidants and the type of sugar your liver loves, has no fat, no extras, and is super quick to make and costs under $4!

3- Take one day a week just for you
A day off from work gives you an opportunity to simply enjoy a temporary respite from stress and constant obligation. It can give you time to meditate, walk the dog, start a new exercise routine, cook a nutritious meal, read a book, take a walk in nature and...
Do this and your energy level will skyrocket in no time!

4- Move your body for at least 20 minutes everyday
This goes without saying that physical activity is a MUST for a healthy body and mind. Anything that will make you sweat for 20 minutes, from fast walking to dancing to strength training, make sure you get at least 20 minutes a day into your schedule and you will see how your energy level will change after just one week of doing it.

5- Create a bedtime routine
I can't stress enough the importance of a good night's sleep. We've all been there, that night where we couldn't sleep and the dysfunctional next day, right? Once of the best ways to ensure a good night's sleep is creating a bedtime routine--certain things that you do and don't do close to bedtime that will support your deep rest!

Fitting, My First Was in an Irish Bar

Written by: Chrisie Canny So, for those of you who know me and the fact that I met my husband in a bar in Brooklyn, you may be assuming what  Fitting, My First Was in an Irish Bar  is all about. And I am here (this time only) to tell you to get your minds out of the gutter. This is not a blog about the first time I had a drink in a bar…ha.., did you think I would say sex? Well…anyway… this is about the first time I finally let someone read my chapter in the Anthology Magnificently Made and very fittingly it happened in an Irish Bar, the old Irish Pub in AC to be exact. It’s also a story about the fear of being a writer and putting something out into the world for everyone to pick at and scrutinize. Let me go back over a year ago when my now publishers Jess and Jenn started posting on social media about how they had a dream of bringing 33 women together to write an Anthology. 33 women to share their journeys to help lift other women. Sounded like my cup of tea just by the descr...

I love the holidays! Turning the calendar page over to November fills my heart with love, thankfulness and excitement for the season ahead.The holidays are traditionally a time to express gratitude to those we love as we gather over a Thanksgiving meal and make shopping lists of people we want to remember with a card or gift of appreciation. This holiday spirit of thankfulness is the spirit I’ve tried to carry through my cancer journey every day of the year. When life is ugly, dark, painful and bleak, finding gratitude in the simplest things snaps me out of the dull drums replacing sadness with hope, positivity and healing. During cancer, I spent many days sitting on my patio in the early morning hours, in my pj’s, when the world was still, meditating, watching the sunrise, listening to the song of birds, watching the clouds, listening to the wind, looking at the flowers in my garden and reciting self-created personal affirmations. Not only did I enjoy nature but felt gratitude for my ...
