We’ve all experienced it: the post-Thanksgiving food coma, the 3 PM slump after lunch, or days where eight hours of sleep still leave us exhausted. But what if energy isn’t about food or rest? What if your greatest power lies in your mindset and habits? Let’s explore the real source of energy—and how to harness it.
The Myth of Food and Sleep
Food fuels the body, but not the way you think.
After a holiday feast, do you feel energized—or ready to nap? Digestion consumes massive energy, leaving you sluggish. Fasting reveals a paradox: by day three, many report more vitality despite no food. Why? Digestion drains energy; reducing intake can free it up. Sleep isn’t the cure-all either. Ever pulled an all-nighter for something exciting and felt wired? Or slept eight hours but woke exhausted? Energy isn’t stored in your mattress—it’s generated by your psyche, mindset, and spirit.
The Real Energy Formula: Mindset + Motion
Energy is a habit that evolve to progress , not a resource. Think of it like a muscle: the more you activate it, the stronger it grows. Here’s how to rewire your energy blueprint:
1. Shift Your State with Movement
- Stand up right now. Point at something and shout, “I own you!”
- Repeat 10 times, increasing intensity each round. Jump, clap, and unleash your inner child.
- This isn’t just “silly”—it’s science. Physical motion spikes testosterone (drive) and drops cortisol (stress), mirroring how Tony Robbins sustains marathon energy on stage.
2. Compete to Elevate
The Latin root of “compete” means “to conspire together.” Challenge someone:
- You: “I own you!”
- Them: “I challenge you!”
- This playful rivalry triggers adrenaline, turning stress into fuel.
3. Create Energy Habits
Energy thrives on pattern recognition:
- Recognize when you’re in a “winter” season (low energy) vs. “spring” (growth).
- Use stress as a tool (pattern utilization) instead of letting it drain you.
- Design daily rituals (pattern creation) like morning movement to sustain momentum.
Your Energy, Your Seasons
Life’s seasons mirror energy cycles:
- Spring (0–21 years): Boundless curiosity.
- Summer (21–42): Hard work and endurance.
- Fall (42–63): Harvesting rewards.
- Winter (63+): Reflection and resilience.
No season lasts forever. If you’re in a “winter” of fatigue, remember: this phase is strengthening you for what’s next.
