5 Ways to Maximize Your Energy

Performance Secrets:

The most productive people in the world are absolute masters at this. What is it?

Energy Management.

You can have all the time in the world or the perfect schedule planned out, but if you don’t have enough energy, you won’t be able to follow through. You won’t get the things on your to-do list done, and you may not even be able to enjoy the free time that you have.

Here are 5 ways to manage your energy:

 

1. Prioritize Your Health & Well-Being

Working more hours cannot come from sacrificing our health. Being healthy means making sure you eat healthy, exercise regularly, and get enough rest and sleep.

Eating healthy is not as hard as it sounds but it takes a good deal of self control. And that’s where eating healthy starts becoming problematic to most. Start small. Be more conscious of what you eat. Start cutting down on your extra slice of cake, pizza, (insert your favorite sinful food here). Then move on to including healthy food groups in your meals at least once or twice a week. You have to let your palate get used to the taste of healthy meals. Start there. And lastly, don’t deprive yourself. Once in awhile, have that slice of cake!

Regular exercise is healthy for the body. We all know that. Plus it boosts your energy level. Take it from Richard Branson. He says working out gives him at least 4 hours of additional productive time every day. So find the time to exercise.

Working sleep-deprived is actually counter productive. When you lack sleep you’re not thinking clearly. You get irritated easily. You either don’t get the results you want or it takes you longer to get the job done. Your mind and body needs sleep to reset and re-energize. That’s a biological fact and there’s no getting around it.

 

2. Surround Yourself with People Who Bring Out The Best in You

Jim Rohn’s famous quote states that “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

You need to be surrounded by people who will challenge you and make you better. You’d want people in your group with whom you can bounce ideas with in as many areas as possible, and people who know and are better than you in more ways than one.

Being surrounded by such people will not only energize you but also pull up your performance and elevate your thinking.

 

3. Seek Out Role Models and Mentors

Having mentors is crucial to success in entrepreneurship. Mentors can guide you on what to do, which path to take and give you guidance.

Find role models who have done exactly what you want to do and who have accomplished your goals within the timeframe you want them accomplished. They’ll be another source of motivation. Plus they’ll help get rid of your limiting beliefs. They’ve done it. So why can’t you?

 

4. Write Your Goals Down Everyday

When you look at your goals, you think of why you’re on the path of academics/athletics and what all the work is for. But if you don’t look at your goals frequently enough, you won’t remember your purpose enough to take massive action.

Set daily, weekly, and monthly goals. And look at them constantly. You’ll dream big, and act big.

 

5. Schedule Free Time in Your Calendar

You need to take massive action. Action brings results.

But, the thing is we’re not machines. We get tired, feel burnt out and get demotivated. We need breaks to re-energize and re-strategize.  If you’re really feeling burnt out and unmotivated, take a step back and take a bit of time off. Then get back to it when you’re re-energized.

Be a master of delayed gratification, to work now so that you have freedom later. But you need to have the energy to keep at it until you hit your goals. What kind of results and lifestyle would you have if you were constantly energized?

Keep these five ways to energize yourself in mind, and you’ll walk a more successful life.  Commit to using at least one way to keep yourself energized.

Fall 2016

212 Lacrosse, based out of Park City, participated in the Santa Barbara Showdown October 15-16 in beautiful Santa Barbara, California. The tournament attracted 100+ teams.

The weekend proved to be another strong showing for the club led by former Stanford & Team USA Alum Lauren Schmidt and UNC Tar Heel Mike Acee.

The 2021 girls finished the weekend winning 212’s 18th tournament championship. The weekend included wins over; Tenacity Pen 13-3, NorCal 10-4, and Desert Heat 12-6 and OC Crush 8-7 in the Championship Game.

What an incredible finish to the championship game! With 212 trailing 7-5 and 4 minutes remaining, a tremendous defensive play and a turnover by OC Crush led to a viscous 212 comeback. The game culminated with a 212 penalty shot and 20 seconds of running time remaining with the game tied at 7. As the clock ran down, the 212 coaches urged the referees to blow the whistle since all games end when the horn sounds without regard to the circumstances. The referee blew the whistle just in time and 212 scored to win the game seconds before the final horn sounded!

“Congratulations to OC Crush on a fine tournament. They have a well coached and skilled team and should be proud of their efforts. I’m extremely proud of all the 212 kids. As always, a big thank you to the entire 212 girls’ community. The support the parents showed myself and Lauren was tremendous. I’d also like to thank the Showdown staff for organizing a well run, fun event for the kids.” – Mike Acee
