How to stay energized!

I've been working on producing content for my blog the last few days and at my current occupation I work anywhere from 45 to 55 hours a week. So, as I'm sure that most of you know, working long hours at a job and trying to create valuable content for your guests can get very exhausting.

I started to notice that I started to lose interest on working on my blog and my creativity levels started to dwindle. I was thinking back in my younger years, how was it that I could keep up a reckless pace of doing different activities for 17 hours a day and exhaustion didn't get to me.

Back then there was a few things that I did which I believe kept me full of energy. And here they are.

• Exercise - I did a lot of running and cycling and you would think that would sap energy from you. Although it is quite the opposite.
• Meditation - Doing this during the early morning hours helped a lot. It actually helped with creativity. And some great ideas came from meditation
• Eating a lot of fresh vegetables and juicing. Heavy foods like the type that I grew up on in Hawaii would make a person feel like a slug by the end of the day. Veggies gives you energy from sunrise to sunset.
• Drink lots of water and stay away from caffeinated and sugary drinks. You will get a false sense of energy for a little while before crashing.
• Always tried to read and listen to something positive and motivational. It keeps your head clear and more receptive to ideas.

That was back in my younger days and that was the regime that I would follow daily. I guess as time has passed I haven't kept up and now I'm reaping the results of not doing the right habits to keep me energized.

If you are currently having energy loss I suggest that you try a few of these habits at least for a month. It takes a little while for the habit to take root. Once you have that habit formed, you will be surprised at how much farther you can go.

Also, I myself will be doing these to make sure that my guests that follow my blog get awesome content, and I have the energy and creativity to produce them.

Take care my friend and happy blogging!
