Are you too pooped at the end of the day, or worse, half way through the day, to keep going?
Has your get up and go got up and gone?
You're not alone.
If daily fatigue has got you down, there's something you can do about it.
There are countless articles on various foods that will give you an added boost. Myself, I like pizza, so I won't preach to you about what you should or shouldn't eat, although the food you eat does have a definite impact on your energy levels throughout the day.
However, there are some people that, no matter what life seems to throw at them, they always seem to have lots of energy, they always seem to be at the top of their game.
Those who always have more than enough energy to keep on going usually have some well-formed outcome, something they are striving for. They know why they are doing what they are doing.
On the other hand, those without well-formed outcomes who are just drifting along in life because they have to do this or that end up having the joy sucked right out of them.
Sometimes, though, life can be downright tough.
Stuff happens. You know the routines. A flat tire that puts you behind schedule, a sick family member, a deadline that got moved up by someone who doesn't actually have to do the work involved.
Pure adrenaline will only get you so far before it leaves you exhausted.
So what do you do instead?
You've seen the person meandering down the hallway at work, just trying their best to make it through the day.
And you've seen the type of person who is full of energy, vitality, and zest for life.
They got a zing in their step, a smile on their face, and a sparkle in their eye.
One of the strategies to help you get through the day, and actually enjoy yourself is to become like the person who is full of energy instead of the person who is just trudging along hoping the day will end.
Simple enough, you say, but how do you actually DO that?
One of the tools in NLP is called Anchoring.
It works on similar principles to Pavlovian conditioning and hypnotic conditioning.
A phobia from a single traumatic event is an example of a really powerful anchor.
So is the song that was playing the first time you kissed that special someone.
The tools are neither good nor bad. They're just tools that work real well, and most people are accidentally using them the wrong way.
Those who are trudging through life waiting to punch the clock at the end of the day are using certain physiological anchors. The way they walk and where they look helps keep them down in the dumps.
And they further reinforce their feelings of being drained by talking trash to themselves and conditioning themselves to feel even worse than they did before.
However, those who are energetic and enjoy the challenges of the day and look forward to more opportunities to prove how capable they are have a certain physiology also.
They tend to hold their heads high. They breathe a certain way. They look up instead of down. In fact, no matter what happens, things are looking up for them.
Don't believe me?
Try this experiment for yourself.
Lower your shoulders, hunch over in your chair or where you're standing, and look down at the ground as you talk to yourself with a negative voice about how crappy the day is.
Notice how that makes you feel.
Now stop. Take a couple of deep breaths and relax a moment.
Stand or sit straight up, shoulders square, head held high, looking up instead of down, and tell yourself in an enthusiastic tone of voice, "I Feel Good! I Like Myself! I Am In Charge Of My Life!"
Which of the two feels better?
Now of course you do have to have some strategies in place to get where you want to go. Otherwise you end up just feeling good about going nowhere in life.
That's called a curse.
Instead you want to take advantage of your abilities to alter your states of mind and your energy levels so that you can design in a plan and a purpose to get where you want to go in life.
