7 Ways to Easily Boost Your Energy Levels Fast

Abe Brown, MBA

Your energy. It’s among the most important attributes in your life. Imagine having the vitality to keep up with your business operations; stay on top of your physical health and fitness; ensure your connections with friends and family remain intact, etc. These responsibilities require energy. I bring this to your attention because a short time ago, somebody asked me about energy, and how they can boost their energy level.

They didn’t feel they had enough in the tank; the demand on their personal energy was greater than their supply. This is very common. Every store you walk into has supplements, energy drinks, and herbal remedies that we can buy to reach the goal of increasing our personal energy levels. But how do we do it? We’ll get to that in a moment but first, it’s important to know…

What Causes Poor Energy Levels

There’s a reason we are so keen to boost our energy, and it relates to this Tom Peters' quote, “Nothing good or great can be done in the absence of energy.” We need the vitality and vigour that comes with an energized mind and body. But what causes poor energy levels? Well, there are numerous culprits that can contribute to a spiritless performance; some of these include:

• Workplace stress
• Sleeplessness
• Financial pressure
• Children?
• Combination of all of the above

Regardless of the cause, it’s important to manage our energy so that we can revitalize it and bring it to the level it needs to be at for us to reach our potential.?

Benefits of Increasing Your Energy Levels

You have to protect your energy. It is one of your most valuable resources as it can literally change the quality of your life. In fact, here are just a few benefits you can experience as you work toward improving your degree of vitality.

1. Energy Develops Dreams And Visions: I’ll tell you what, if your body is brimming with energy, you’ll have that get-up-and-go mentality needed to move toward the dreams and visions for your future!?
2. Energy Delivers Incredible Productivity: When you have energy, you will crush the competition by catching the tide that lifts you above the sea of average people. Conversely, without energy, you will become one of those average or mediocre people.??
3. Energy Fosters Creativity: Creativity is crucial if you want to fulfill your potential! Energy fosters the creative juices you need to do your best work; on the other hand, low energy levels dry up those creative juices, putting you in a state of apathy and indifference.?
4. Energy Dampens Creativity And Worry: With an abundance of energy, you simply don’t have the time to spend on anxiety and worry. Why? Because you’re too busy getting stuff done!?
5. Energy Disables and Dispels Fear: When you lack energy, all the problems you face seem and feel way bigger than they actually are. But when you have energy, it cuts it all down to the proper size.?

An abundance of energy will fuel everything. It will supercharge your focus, goals, relationships, business, career, and life as a whole. And at this point, you may be asking yourself how you can boost your personal energy levels. The truth is you can’t control the people, circumstances, or events that zap your energy. However, that doesn’t mean you’re helpless.

In fact, there’s actually a lot you can do to boost your vibrancy, regardless of what’s happening around you. Here are…

7 Ways to Easily Boost Your Energy Levels Fast

There are certain things you can do—if continually practised—that will boost your personal energy levels. So what are they? Keep reading to find out!

1. Eating and Sleeping Right

You cannot overstate the importance of proper sleep and diet. If you aren’t taking the time to cover these two essentials, you will never have the energy to do your best work. Here’s the deal… We all have energy inputs and energy outputs; let’s take a closer look at each…

• Energy Outputs: This consists of anxiety, stress, fear, worry, and doubt. It also includes the things that produce those emotions such as the meetings, the work, etc. It’s all those things that create the conditions for a lack of energy in your life.?
• Energy Inputs: This involves all of the good things that help boost your energy such as what we’re discussing regarding proper sleep and nutrition.?

So if your output is exceeding your input, well, of course, you’re not going to have the energy you need to get through the day. So do everything you can to ensure your inputs are at an optimum level. Namely: Getting enough high-quality sleep and eating the good foods that will fuel your mind and body.?

2. Exercise

The best thing you can do—if you’re lacking energy—is to spend it in a healthy way. That’s by exercising! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been exhausted, and I go for a run, and boom, my energy level is back where it should be.?

3. Effort

Here’s the strange thing about energy: When you have low energy, you don’t put any effort out there because you’re “conserving and rationing your energy.” But actually, when you put effort out there, it generates the energy you need. So here’s what’s really cool, if you want to get to the next level of energy, put out the next level of effort! There’s another gear in you! Find it and go higher.

4. Expectations

People who expect the worst generally feel the worst. If you’re expecting all kinds of crazy crap to hit your life, guess what? You won’t be disappointed. And what’s worse, this kind of attitude is going to impact your energy, motivation, and enthusiasm. Conversely, when your expectations are positive, it’s completely different. Your energy becomes vibrant and abundant.

I’ll tell you what, the way to overcome apathy is with enthusiasm and energy. So the next time you feel apathetic, the best thing you can do is nail it on the head with energy!?

5. Enthusiasm

Here’s the deal: Energy goes where your enthusiasm flows. Now, often we lack energy because we’re forced to perform in an area we have no passion for. So I want you to think about where your passion and enthusiasm is. Because the more you do those things, the higher level of energy you will have.?

6. Ending Negative Thinking

Nothing drains energy like negativity. For this reason, you have to constantly cultivate the garden of your mind. If you’ve got a bunch of weeds in there, it’s going to be literally impossible to have the kind of energy you need. So I want you ask yourself a simple question: Who are you surrounding yourself with?

If you’re constantly surrounding yourself with negative people, you will develop a negative mindset as a result. And that will destroy your energy level. However, when you can find and surround yourself with positive and optimistic people, that will by default improve your energy.?

So take an inventory of your social circle. And if there are people who aren’t contributing to your energy and quality of life in a positive way, it may be time to cut the cord on those relationships.?

7. Eliminate Worry From Your Life

I truly believe that you and I have an opportunity every day to improve our lives by eliminating this energy killer. Worry will destroy your energy quicker than most things ever could. Why? Because you’re making yourself mentally sick by thinking about all the things you cannot control. You have to learn what that old prayer said…

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”?

So what does that mean?

It means you can generate more energy by simply letting go of the things you can’t control. Here’s the deal; if you can generate more energy, you can generate more enthusiasm, which will, in turn, generate better results.?

Closing Thoughts

Enjoying more energy is really a matter of living the right way. It comes down to your daily actions and beliefs. For this reason, it’s essential to begin living out your life in a way that is aligned with the development of energy. And in this article, you’ve been given the tools to help you do that. The 7 easy steps I just laid out will boost energy level to the place where you can still achieve and have something left in the tank.?
