We work in front of screens all day and relax in front of screens all night. We just move from one screen to the next day after day. We humans have not evolved as fast as technology has. We are not meant to sit indoors in front of screens and artificial light all day. It’s no wonder just about every new client we speak to complains of low energy levels.
We need to think of ourselves as batteries. The higher the charge, the better we will function. The lower the charge, the more susceptible we are to stress, illness, disease and lethargy. So, how can we identify the things that drain our battery and what are the things we can do to charge our battery?
Things that typically DRAIN our battery:
Artificial (indoor) lighting
Anything with a screen
Routers/WiFi/EMF (electro magnetic fields)
Little/No movement
Low density foods (processed)
Little/No outdoor activity
Dehydration
Little/No sunlight
Medications/Prescriptions
Toxic relationships
Things that typically CHARGE our battery:
Natural Sunlight
Water - proper hydration
Magnetism - energy from the earth bare-feet on the ground (aka grounding)
Movement - blood flow
Nature - outdoors
Cold rinse - 1-2 minutes
Breath-work/Meditation
Consuming nutrient dense foods (non-processed, whole foods)
Positive/Influential relationships
When you think of yourself as a battery, it will change your perception on your health. Our environment and how we spend our time doing what we do will dictate how we feel and our overall well-being. If you find that you typically spend most of your time in the “drained” state, it’s time to re-evaluate your environment. Do some things to counteract your time spent draining your battery with things that will charge it. Start to map out your days and prioritize time spent charging your battery. If you do that, you will feel an enormous difference in your mood, energy and vitality.
