3 Formulae for an Energized Life

You must have seen some people who are always so radiant and full of life that when you go by their side you yourself feel energized and charged. And there are energy-suckers, just spend a few minutes with them and you already feel drained.

Have you ever wondered why those two categories of people are like that?

It’s because of the energy level in people. The quality of your life is determined by your energy level. The quality of your life will surely be better than those who are not concerned about boosting their energy level.

It is normal that people have more energy when they are young and their energy gradually decreases while they grow old. But if you practice some everyday techniques then you will be able to boost your energy level until all of your hair turns gray.

Here are 3 formulae which will help you live an energized life.

I. Quality of sleep matters more than the quantity of sleep

Are you surprised when your friend can work without long sleep while you struggle to make it through the day? It is so because the quality of sleep matters more than the quantity of sleep. And of course, the quality of your friend’s sleep is better than yours. A good sleep quality restores your sleep whereas poor sleep quality slows you down.

Here are the 5 ways to improve the quality of your sleep:

1. Maintain a consistent sleep schedule
   To get enough and restorative sleep, you must go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time every day, even on your weekends. The internal mechanism of your body will get habitual to this schedule and will form a body clock. This will help you get quality sleep.
2. Adjust your environment
   You won’t be able to get sleep under bright light and noise. So, you should manage to cut off bright light and noise before going to bed. Your bedroom should be cool so that you can get deep sleep. Black-out curtains, earplugs, noise-canceling headphones, humidifiers, fans might come handy to adjust the environment.
3. Practice bedtime ritual
   It has been found that practicing some bedtime rituals will facilitate you to sleep well. If you make a ritual of brushing or wearing night dress or switching on the night light every day before you sleep your brain will understand that pattern. And after a few days, you will start feeling sleepy right after you finish brushing in the night time.
   1. Exercise and meditate daily
      Exercising and meditating daily will definitely help you to attain a deep state of sleep. You should exercise and meditate for at least 30 minutes. Exercising and meditating will elevate your mood and will also energize you for the whole day.
4. Avoid sleep fragmentation
   Sleep fragmentation is that condition when you have to wake up once or many times throughout the night. You should switch-off your cell-phone, turn off the lights, empty your bladder before you go to sleep so that you won’t need to wake after you fall asleep. You should also stop hitting the snooze button on your alarm too.

II. Powerful morning routine

Most successful people have a powerful morning routine. They wake up becoming grateful for what they have in their life. Also, they wake up with a commitment to achieve their big dreams.

Here are the three things to make a powerful morning routine:

1. Think three things right after you open your eyes
   • One life = One body + One mind:
     This thought will help you value your life. You will feel grateful to see the morning. Gratefulness brings more value to life. Gratefulness is the most basic way to practice mindfulness. Also, you will take care of your body and will nurture it once you start valuing it. Your existence is all your body and your mind controls your physical existence. So, respect the new day, respect your life, and value your body and mind.
   • Think about your biggest goal:
     You should wake up with commitment. It helps you achieve your dreams soon. If you wake up thinking about that one big shot of your life, you will start working on it. You will be one step closer to your dream every single day. And one day, you will achieve that goal.
   • Pomodoro technique:
     Pomodoro Technique is a time management technique that will help you to allocate time for your daily activities. Try to excel in the Pomodoro Technique and become the master.
     It will help you complete everything on time, save you from distractions, and will make you a better version of yourself every day. If you start allocating time for every activity on a daily basis, you will start finishing work on time and hence you will become more productive every day.
     
     Start thinking about the three main things you value a lot. Make them precise and think about them when you open your eyes.
2. Push up, Increase by 1 every day
   Push up will help you to improve body strength and endurance. So, why not start doing push-ups as a part of your morning routine? Start with 15 push-ups and increase by 1 every day. This will energize you for your whole day.
   If push up is too much for you, start doing some basic stretching or any form of exercise or yoga for at least 15 minutes. This helps you to warm up your body and get ready for a cold shower.
3. Cold Shower
   Start your day by taking a cold shower. “Don’t just wake up, wake the f**k up.” Cold shower pumps up the day and makes you ready to tackle anything that comes on your way to win the day. Win the day like a boss. A cold shower has many health benefits too.

III. Maintaining body posture is meditation in practice

Body posture is not just about physical appearance but also about how you think. As you maintain your body posture, you become alert and observe the things around you, this helps you become proactive. Maintaining body posture has also proven to help reduce the quantity of sleep you require. So, yes go ahead and save time from your day simply by maintaining body posture.

These formulae will help you to keep your energy level high and thus live an energized life. Just start practicing these techniques for a few days and you will see the difference. Live your life as an energizer and influencer, not as an energy-sucker.
