What do you do to restore your energy?

by•
I feel like my battery is sooo low today, as if the weekend never happened! What do you do to recharge? Maybe, you have some tips to share?

There's some good tips on the huberman lab podcast. Getting exposure to natural light is pretty important. I find going for a run outside works really well - exercise and light exposure. Morning exercise gets me fired up for a few hours but I normally have an afternoon dip if I am not careful. I find that doing micro workouts (e.g. 30 seconds of squats/pushups/crunches) every 20 minutes keeps me energized throughout the day. I built the micro workout feature into my app (focusbear.io) and have had some really big changes in energy levels, mood and productivity.

A walk, a cold shower and some coffee, in that order!

@martina_hackbartt cold shower! brrrrrr just thinking of it gave me goosebumps:)) I'm a spoiled warmth-loving creature. Like a lizard:))

@martina_hackbartt @katyaveremeichik It's hard but I keep a freezer full of cold water and when I get in (like once a week) I feel much more AWAKE :) but still feels horrible lol
Martina Hackbartt
@katyaveremeichik @nick_kislinger Wow!! that's a lot wilder than a cold shower!

I hear you! I just went for a walk in the sun and feel so much more ready to tackle the week! Hope you find an energy boost.

Relaxing while listing to music, that just hit the spot
Kate Dalessi
@samora funny thing: my brain works very actively while listening to the music, that does not relax me at all for some reason.. I think I'm taking music too seriously:))
Samson Godstime Adarighofua
@katyaveremeichik lolz some blend of music does that to me but for relaxation I go old school to Celine and Westlife

A long walk with some music and a cup of coffee in hand!

I use sixty-second breathing activities, and that helps. I use a specific breath to help me recharge when I need to restore my energy. It's something the Navy SEALs are taught for when they need to recharge. Breathe in through your nose for four seconds, hold your breath for four seconds, breathe out through your mouth slowly for four seconds, and hold your breath for four seconds. Repeat. Set a timer for 60 seconds and give it a try next time your nervous system is fried!

@nick_kislinger that's very interesting, thank you!

@katyaveremeichik Just to Double-Click on that...Here's a two-minute guide to the Recharge breath. https://youtu.be/1Idc41VwZtY

To get more energy, I mainly exercise (running, inline skating, swimming, ..) and make sure that I get enough sleep!

Hey @katyaveremeichik for me the best way is to have my self-time do some sports or go for a short hike, stop and have some coffee and just watch the people passing around on the street. No phone, no computer.
Kate Dalessi
@molotowl_studio no phone or computer is a luxury a startup marketer can afford only in their sleep:))) jokes aside, great point.

Play with a friend's dog. Humans drain my energy but I can't say the same for most dogs.
Kate Dalessi
@naomichao dogs are awesome<3 Ironically, despite being a dog person, I have a cat:) but also works I guess)
