Welcome to the Peak

Revival Podcast.

My name is Vesna.

Today I'm really speaking

to my tired business owners

and how to access three

types of energy for peak

energy and performance.

If you are exhausted, here

is where you should focus.

So the number one thing I've

talked about all different

things on this podcast,

but I want to kind of bring

them together to talk about

three sources of energy that

will give us so much energy

that it never runs out.

Okay.

May sound too good to be

true, but it's absolutely not.

This is how we are designed.

Okay.

The first place

is physical energy

This is where People

spend most of their time.

So we're looking at

mitochondrial energy,

which I talked about

in the last podcast.

We're looking at energy

from our nutrition.

We're looking at

adrenal energy as well.

Okay.

And so mitochondria is

like an energy powerhouse.

Okay.

Produces.

Tons of energy for our body,

and the more we do, the more

our body creates mitochondria,

and the more energy we create.

And so, unless there's been a

breakdown to the mitochondria

due to excess stress, again,

I talked about that in the

last podcast, and that

means, you know, you'll be

feeling tired all the and it

may seem like you've got too

much going on, but actually

your internal reserves are

very low, and the ability for

your body to produce energy

is kind of working as well.

And so therefore you're

getting more tired doing

your current tasks.

So, most business owners

are accustomed to feeling

high levels of stress.

And so stress really creates

mitochondrial dysfunction

and so I find with business

owners, they don't really

notice that they're high

stress but they notice the

days when it's really bad.

Okay, so but most days

they're operating under a

lot of pressure and a lot of

stress and a lot of mental

noise and a lot of urgency

and a lot of fear and worry.

But it's only on the days

that it gets really really

bad that their stress levels

are really high that they

notice that they're stressed.

Okay, and so when we're

looking at physical energy

so often I'll ask people how

often do you wake up with the

energy to exercise that you

get out of Bed and go great.

I could go to a workout now

And if it's not very often

then this is something that

you want to look at how often

do you sleep well at night?

Are you going to bed by 9

30 10 p. m. Are you sleeping

right through and waking

up feeling refreshed?

How does your energy last

all day long or do you

feel a 3 p. m. Crash?

Where your productivity just

tanks, right, and you're

really tired and maybe

you're going for sugar or

caffeine to keep you going.

So, for physical energy,

there's a lot that we can

do, healthy diet, regular

meals, avoiding the foods

and habits that increase

the cortisol, affecting the

mitochondria and reducing

its function and having more

sleep and more recovery.

And that way improving that

physical energy, but if we

only focus here, we're not

going to get back to operating

on 12 cylinders, right?

In order to operate at your

best and at your highest level

with that kind of untapped

unlimited energy that is

always self replenishing,

looking at physical

energy is only one part.

The next part or number two

type of energy is mental and

emotional energy how focused

are you during the day?

Can you work on a complex

task until it's finished?

It could take hours without

distraction, right?

Can you do the deep work?

Are you doing shallow work?

Are you doing admin

y kind of stuff?

You're doing one thing, you're

jumping to another, you're

picking up your phone, you're

answering email, answering

text message, answering

something from your team?

Whatever it is, that's

shallow work, right?

how many hours a day can

you spend in deep work?

What is your capacity to deal

with challenges when something

goes wrong in the business?

Do you have a meltdown?

Do you catastrophize?

Do you feel

irritable or moody?

Do you snap at people,

your family, your partner,

your colleagues, people

that work for you, right?

So this is all kind of

pointing to your capacity,

mental and emotional capacity.

You know, do, when something

goes wrong in your business,

do you feel like it just?

completely just knocks

you down, right?

That it takes you a couple

of, maybe the whole day,

it wipes out your day, or

maybe it wipes out two days.

You feel tired, you

just feel drained.

Like it's like,

I'm so over this.

I can't handle it.

Or do you feel like it only

lasts about an hour or two

and then you bounce back and

you're ready to go again.

Okay.

So that really, again,

points to mental and

emotional energy.

So, when we've been under

high levels of stress and

often what I see with, my

clients is that the speed

at which their mind works

in terms of the chatter is

so fast for so long that

it burns through a lot of

the neurotransmitters, the

neurotransmitters that help

to keep our brain calm.

And focused, and rational, and

ability to handle challenges

and stress, that all gets

kind of burnt off, and so

we have less capacity to

deal with things, we become

more reactive, and it takes

longer to bounce back.

And so, there are many

things that we can do there

to improve this kind of

mental and emotional energy.

If we're looking at focus,

there is nutrients that we can

use to improve mental focus.

Something like balancing

your blood glucose levels

makes a huge difference

to mental energy and how

you can handle things that

come your way, and so you

won't, you know, so much get

a slump in the afternoon,

but you won't get as much

anxiety or overwhelm either.

Less time on your

devices, okay?

Just that distraction

and the blue light and

the dopamine hit is So

addictive, so draining on

the brain and it just zaps

your focus and zaps those

neurotransmitters if you're

not getting proper sleep.

So when we go to sleep

at night time, we have

an emotional reset.

And so if you're not getting

enough deep sleep, you're

just not getting that.

Okay.

And so you're waking up and

instead of feeling your mind

is clear, you're waking up and

you're still carrying stuff

from the next day, right?

It hasn't been cleared out.

And you know, the number

one thing is to reduce

the mental noise or the

mental stress, which

again, a lot of my clients.

Most will notice, some

won't, but they'll

notice at the times it

gets really bad again.

So often, you know, when

we, when I talk to clients,

I really kind of try to

understand what level of

mental stress that they

have because I know that

is absolutely going to

Take that part of the brain

offline where we can be

super productive and super

creative and rational and

deal with problems and,

do the deep work, right?

So that's a really

important part.

The third type of energy,

which is unlimited, and

you don't have to really

do anything to, we just

got to remove the blocks

for it, is spiritual

energy which is life force.

Life force is life.

It's energy from life.

And it fuels us and

is unlimited and

it never runs out.

So this is something that

I personally had to refocus

on at the end of last year.

I found like physical

energy fine, mental and

emotional, that's where

I spent a lot of my time.

I did making sure, you know,

getting rid of the mental

stress or, you know, dealing

with things in better ways,

but my spiritual energy

or the life force from

my work was diminished.

running a business, there

is things in your business

that you do that have to be

done that you don't really

love and it's not very

energizing for you, but

you've got to do them right.

Maybe it's something that

only you can do and I

found that there was so

many things like that And

I wasn't doing the things

that really energized me.

I wasn't doing the things

that Enhanced my life force

you know teaching coaching

webinars Things where I'm

really kind of doing the

workshops with groups that

kind of stuff I love and

it really energizes me and

connects me with people,

which is very energizing.

I was doing more of the,

behind the scenes and the

admin and the team and

managing things that was

draining my life force.

Okay.

So you will have things in

your business that You know,

there'll be some things

that you can outsource, some

things that you'll have to

keep, but you really want to

make sure that when you're

looking at all your tasks

over the week, what are

the things that actually

enhance your life force,

that spiritual energy that

really fuels the body, okay?

That never runs out.

How much of that are you

having during the week?

And when I talk about

life force energy, I'm

talking about when you do

something, you just feel

a total buzz after it.

Okay, so when I come off

a webinar or a workshop,

I am completely buzzed.

I love it.

I, I make them go too long

because I love chatting with

people and answering questions

and coaching and teaching.

So that gives me a total buzz.

So there are things

that you love that maybe

you're not doing as much

because you're doing all

of the other work that is

diminishing your life force.

And that's what I

was doing, right?

I wasn't doing the things

that I love because I didn't

have the capacity and I

realized that in order to

get that capacity back,

I needed to do the things

that enhance my life force.

And so another tip is, I just

learnt this the other day,

which obviously is so obvious,

but, anyway, I obviously had

to hear it from somebody else.

That the things that don't

light you up or don't enhance

your life force, the things

that you're not world class

at, those are the things that

you find somebody else to do.

And when you're looking for

a new team, you want to find

out What are the things that

enhance their life force?

What are the things that they

totally get a buzz out of?

Because they are going to

be so good at that task,

and then you don't have

to do it anymore, right?

So that was a cool little tip.

So, three types of

energy to really break

free from tiredness.

Don't look at your

schedule being the thing

that's making you tired.

Most often, it's

our physical health.

It's draining our energy,

it's our mental and

emotional, so not even our

workload, but everything

that's going on in here.

And the third thing is we

haven't structured schedule

to include those things

which enhance our life force.

Okay, so we want to look at

physical energy, we want to

look at mental and emotional

energy, and we want to

look at spiritual energy.

So let me know if you can see

the comments below which one

you need to focus on first.
