- Ban the Couch! After work make it routine to NOT sit on the couch. Sitting zaps energy and that is the last thing anyone needs after a work day of sitting.

- Meditate! Close your eyes and just breathe! Meditating for 5 – 20 minutes a day will clear your brain, decrease anxiety and increase energy.
- De-Clutter. Cleaning house and getting organized makes us feel good and boosts our energy. Having a de-cluttered space gives satisfaction, peace, and room to play. So go ahead and make your home an “Om” home!
- Take a “Selfie”. Grab your camera and get real. The motivation created from looking at ourselves honestly and making goals for what we want to become produces a drive that increases our energy. When we make goals and have a plan it is great to become “gung-ho” and we are more likely to stay active and committed to daily exercise. Daily exercise increases energy!!!
- Take a nap. A little cat nap will replenish the body, mind and spirit and will give the added boost needed to get through the day. No caffeine needed, just a comfy place to lay down and zone out!
- Eat Healthy Food! Talk about an energy boost, practicing a healthy diet rich in plants and protein will catapult your energy to the next level. Ditch the processed crap and get going with real, whole and energy providing foods!
