Hey there!! - let’s keep waking up!

Yes I agreed that time is a precious commodity. But stop and think for a moment, what is fueling your time?? It’s your energy!

If your energy is low, or frenetic or you’re giving it away to things that don’t align with who you are or how you want to show up in the world then sorry to tell you - you are wasting your precious time too.

So we dedicated and entire MTM episode to help you understand how precious your energy is and what to do to optimize it.

Here are the top takeaways from this electrifying ⚡️ episode:

1. Guard Your Energy Like Gold

Energy is the currency of life, and how you spend and conserve it matters.

How mindful are you about where your energy flows?

Whether it's avoiding drama or cutting out pointless activities, if you want to get the most out of life then your goal must be to deliberately fuel yourself with activities that bring you joy and feed your zest for life.

"If we manage our time down to the nano detail, but we have no energy, what good is that time?" Jon says

So true!! What if you start treating your energy like the precious resource it is?

“But how?”

2. Optimize Through Exercise & Diet

This combo of a good healthy diet paired with regular moderate exercise will make you unstoppable!!

I am sure that you keep hearing how incredibly important it is to eat clean, wholesome and organic foods. Why? Well, our bones, muscles and brain cells are made up of the same stuff as mother nature. So we must respect our basic ‘natural’ biological nutrient needs to optimize our bodies.

Also essential, is pairing your healthy foods consumption with regular exercise that brings you strength, resilience and vitality. Working out 3-5 days a week will leave you feeling uplifted and optimistic because your body will be flowing with the hormones that support your quest for more zest!

3. The Power of Breathwork & Meditation

Feeling sluggish?
Try some breathwork!
Techniques like the inner fire breath can give you a quick energy boost without the caffeine crash, it’s also FREE and available anytime you need it!

Meditation is another powerful tool for energy mastery. Practicing daily will helps you focus your energy, creates clarity, reduces stress-energy, and can even improve your relationships.

Will says, "Meditation, meditation, meditation. It's so important."

Start practicing Trust us, your mind and body will thank you.
