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.

Beat the Sunday blues with this 10-minute visualization that will teach you simple tips for tapping into your infinite energy. By focusing on your breath and following along with this visualization, you’ll notice a visible increase in energy as you help your body’s cortisol levels drop. In as little as 10 minutes, you’ll feel refreshed and relaxed. Other positive benefits? It will decrease your heart rate and lower your blood pressure.

To help combat these effects and boost your energy levels, I’m excited to introduce my audio visualization: “Elevate your energy.” This 10-minute guided experience is designed to tap into your body’s natural energy reserves and help you feel refreshed and revitalized.
 
Here’s what you can expect:
– A focus on breath work to center your mind and body
– Visualization techniques to stimulate energy flow
– Practices to help lower cortisol levels, promoting a sense of calm alertness
In just 10 minutes, you’ll likely notice a visible increase in energy, along with other benefits such as decreased heart rate and lower blood pressure. It’s a quick and effective way to reset your energy levels, especially during the challenging transition into fall.
 
Tips for Maintaining Energy
While the “Elevate your energy” audio is a powerful tool, there are other strategies you can employ to keep your energy levels high throughout the fall season:
☀️ Maximize natural light exposure: Spend time outdoors during daylight hours, especially in the morning.
 
Maintain a consistent sleep schedule: This helps regulate your body’s internal clock.
 
Stay active: Regular exercise can boost energy levels and improve mood.
Eat a balanced diet: Focus on foods rich in vitamins D and B12, which are crucial for energy production.
