2. Scrolling in the morning

This is an incredible way to kill the momentum of your day. Flooding your brain with Cortisol and unearned Dopamine in the morning can leave you feeling sluggish for the rest of the day.

Try this:

Keep your phone off for an hour after you wake up.

3. Eating over-processed crap

Arrow

Regardless of whether your diet is Paleo, Keto or Oreos - this applies. Anything highly processed will take a lot of energy for your body to digest. Skip the take-out if you want to feel energized.

Try this:

Eat single ingredient foods with fewer processing steps.

4. Not moving your ass

Energy is like kindness. The more you give, the more you get. Gentle stress put on our heart and lungs is a good thing. Get moving.

Try this:

Make it your goal every day to have a moment when your heart is beating fast and you're trying to catch your breath.

5. Holding onto anger and resentment

"Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die" - Buddha Well, it can't be said any better than the Buddha. Let go of that anger. It'll wear you out physically, emotionally and mentally.

Try this:

Forgive and forget. Not for them but for you.

6. Lack of sunlight

Lack of sunlight can lead to a dip in your Serotonin. Low Serotonin is linked to depression and reduced energy levels. If you can't get in the sun, you can eat Vitamin-D rich foods or take a supplement.

Try this:

Every morning for next week, go for a ten-minute walk outside.
