Did you know we are in a personal energy crisis? Studies show that most adults feel tired at least three days a week, and some of us even feel tired every day. 

I’m going to be focusing a lot this month on how you can actually CREATE more personal energy. 

And I’m kicking it off with a completely achievable list of ways you can set yourself up for a high-energy day. 

The best part is that none of these suggestions will take you a long time … and they actually WORK!  

9 Easy Morning Habits to Boost Your Energy: 

1. Don’t hit the snooze button. Dozing for a few extra minutes can actually make you feel more tired and less focused during the day because it short-circuits your ability to get a full sleep cycle. 

2. Drink a big glass of water. Being even a little bit dehydrated can make you feel tired, and after going an entire night without water your body needs it! And while you’re at it … 

3. Splash your face with cold water … or take a cold shower. This will really wake you up! Cold water is invigorating and it can trigger your body to send out endorphins, which are feel-good hormones. 

4. Take a BIIIIIG stretch. Did you know that when you are in REM sleep, your skeletal muscles are actually paralyzed? This is just one reason why stretching when you wake up feels so good – plus, it can stimulate your body to release more of those endorphins. 

5. Eat a healthy, low-sugar breakfast. Research shows that skipping breakfast can affect your performance later in the day. Skip the donuts/muffins/bagel and instead go for lean proteins (eggs or tofu), veggies and/or fruits, whole grains, and healthy fats. I love having a smoothie every morning, click here for recipes. I definitely used to grab the muffins, toast, bagels and cereal option but for the past 10 years, smoothies have been a part of my life and it’s been a game changer! 

6. Get some sunshine. Not only is it energizing in the moment, but it also helps your body create energy-promoting vitamin D. Plus, it helps regulate your hormones to improve your sleep at night. 

7. Do something fun or energizing. Listen to your favorite music or upbeat podcast, work out, try a morning meditation – whatever appeals to you! 

8. Drink a cup of coffee or green tea (but not more). Overdoing it in the morning can actually make you feel drained later in the day! 

9. Wake up after 7-8 hours of quality sleep. This email would be too long if I listed off all the reasons why getting a good night of sleep is vital to your health (and energy!). Make sure you go to bed early enough so this is a possibility. In our Vibrant Living Membership we have SuperCharge your Sleep Module, not a member, click here. 

BONUS....Roll OUT Rolling first thing in the morning alleviates stiffness and sets you up for better mobility during your day, plus it connects you with your breath and centers you! Not sure what to do, check out the 30-Day Foam Rolling Challenge.  

It’s the small, consistent actions you take every day that adds up to big results. 

That’s why I focus on creating small healthy habits with my clients … because it’s the CONSISTENCY that matters the most!

If you need help with a fitness plan or lifestyle coaching, I’m here for you every step of the way.  

I’m a wife and mum, personal trainer, fitness/pilates instructor, Behaviour Change Specialist, Nutrition Coach, Pain-Free Movement Specialist, author of Cookie Dough in the Dark, creator of Vibrant Living Membership - your ONE STOP shop for movement + nutrition + mindset..... among many other things!!  I’ve had many issues dealing with the scale going up and down, a muffin top that wouldn’t disappear, emotional eating binges that did not involve carrots and struggling with insecurity! Through all of this I just wanted to feel normal. I wanted to be happy like everyone else!

In my teens and 20’s I wanted the quick fixes, the magic pills, the fairy dust – whatever I could get my hands on to make me a lean, happy and sexy machine. Yup, found out it doesn’t exist. I wanted to cry!! I was so frustrated. I felt like I was going around and around until I was completely exhausted and back at the starting point. And when I talk with other women they feel that way too. So, I delved further into holistic health – the emotional, mental and physical – wrote a book, and have been in this field for many years helping 1000’s of women.

I discovered that by being smarter, not working harder, I could get the results I wanted and also for my clients. It started with some really small shifts that I will share with you over time. With this new knowledge, I felt ALIVE, VIBRANT and COMFORTABLE in my own skin. And my clients felt this way too!

My mission is to continue to help women step into the body they WANT. To feel confident & sexy, in control of their food choices and have their clothes fit just as they should while having the energy to live a VIBRANT life.
