Yuthan Balaji Instagram – 4 out of 5 of today’s people lack of energy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s face it – you are constantly busy and give away your time to others, while having very little for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We then often forget to audit what we do during the day, because there’s no time that for that – so we just keep doing and repeat it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ From analyzing, talking, working and observing the typical day of today’s high performing people, here are the top 6 energy robbers in their day: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Sleeping less means your body and brain can’t be fully restored. It’s not about working more, it’s the effectiveness of those hours. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Have you ever felt exhausted after experiencing strong negative emotions – like fear, anger, frustration, etc.? That’s because it was a big stress. But even a little stress takes a piece of your energy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. The more you weigh, the more energy you need. If you’re 10kg overweight, imagine how much energy you need to carry an extra 10kg bag with you every day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. Sugar packed coffees. You take them in order to gain back the lost energy, right? In short term, it might boost your energy, but in long-term it will decrease your energy levels even more. Caffeine gives you a false illusion of your energy during the day. While you slowly slide in that sugar bag, it will make you more tired and then certainly won’t reduce the chances of melting away that belly fat. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5. You may have heard that eating small meals every 2-3 hours boosts your metabolism and helps you to lose weight. False. Further on, your body spends huge amounts of energy on digestion. Have you ever felt unable to do anything after a meal? That’s it. Every piece of food costs energy to digest. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 6. Don’t waste your time on crappy foods. It gives you short-term pleasure, but you don’t feel like you have more energy. 2000kcals of McDonalds aren’t the same as 2000kcals of high quality food. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now you’re aware of what’s holding you back. It’s your decision whatever you accept to stay where you are – or to level up and play on a whole new level. Those at the top say the air is much fresher there 😉 Credit: @starathletes_ #staypositivewithyuthan • • • #health #tip Yuthan Balaji
