3 tools to boost energy and feel present
Movement - Breath - Stillness
Life is so much busier post Covid and it’s been a challenge keeping up and staying present, trying to not think about the next thing we need to get done ad tick off our list!
3 priorities I schedule in daily are breath, movement and stillness. With these 3 things I stay connected to my body, stay in tune and feel more present in every moment. Here are some tips for you to try implement into your day
#1 Breath
Take a listen to this breathwork audio I have done just for you. It’s 10 minutes and will help you to go deeper into breath work practice and it will also help you in stillness too.

#2 Movement
Any movement is good! It shifts your energy, reduces the feeling of being stuck and boosts your endorphins.
If you feel tired, just sitting is not going to help as this may make you feel more tired due to potentially sitting most of the day anyway - depending on what you do for a living.
Cardio is a wonderful way of getting your body to feel more alive, awake and reconnect with your body. No need to run, climbing up the stairs a few times, star jumps, jump squats, walking up a hill are all great ways of getting your heart rate up- it doesn’t need to be an hour, even just 5-10 minutes will do the job of getting you to feel more energetic and connected.
Try get moving every hour and feel the difference. Movement different to what you do all the time is the most beneficial. If you sit most of the day do something standing and if you stand most of the day do some balance work or stretches.
#3 Stillness
Having some quiet, sitting still and focusing on calm and breath help to calm your nervous system and your body’s response to how it performs and feels when you are stressed.
My favourite app for guided meditations and music only meditations is insight timer its a free app and you can set the duration with many different guides to help you.
Starting with 5 minutes and working to 15-20 minutes a day and sometimes twice a day is highly beneficial. You will create space in your body and in your mind and be able to cope so much better in a stressful day.
