Elevate Your Energy

As summer winds down and autumn leaves begin to fall, many of us experience what I like to call “fall fatigue.” This phenomenon, characterized by earlier onset of sleepiness and decreased energy levels, is more than just a seasonal mood shift. It’s a real physiological response to the changing seasons, and understanding it is the first step to combating its effects.

 
The Science Behind Fall Fatigue
 
The shorter days of autumn bring more than just cooler temperatures; they also mean less exposure to sunlight. This reduction in sunlight has a significant impact on our body’s production of key neurotransmitters and vitamins:
1. Serotonin: Often called the “feel-good” hormone, serotonin plays a crucial role in regulating mood and energy levels.

2. Cortisol:
While often associated with stress, cortisol is also essential for wakefulness and alertness. 3. Vitamin D: This crucial nutrient, synthesized in our skin when exposed to sunlight, is vital for restful and restorative sleep.
As these levels decrease with reduced sunlight, we may find ourselves feeling more tired, less motivated, and struggling to maintain our usual energy levels.

Each one of us has a vital potential…a peak level that you could attain at your present age, whatever your age is! It doesn’t matter if you’re 35 or 55 or 75.

Hardly anyone is working at their peak potential. So in reality, you may be getting older, but you can actually train your body to tap into your life-force just by living a healthier lifestyle. So start thinking about counteracting those hidden changes that are going on, and start making healthier choices every day. By doing this, you can push your vitality higher and higher, closer to your peak potential.

I know women who were not the least bit athletic in their twenties, who’ve gone out and climbed mountains and ran marathons in their forties. It’s really not an exaggeration to say you can feel better at fifty than you ever have in your life!

It can happen…it’s just not going to happen by itself!

Remember, there’s never such a thing as status quo…it doesn’t exist! You’re either going up, or you’re coming down. You’re choosing to build your capacities, or you’re watching them slowly decline.
