Fresh starts to happen throughout the year, but the start of a new year is a prime time to set new plans, set goals, and restore our lives. All these new plans require energy to keep things moving. Try as we may, there will be times and days when our energy is going to fall. Keep these ideas in mind when those times come.

Fundamentals like these may seem simple, but I think it’s good to be reminded of the basic stuff every now and then. Sleep and nutrition are key ingredients for maintaining energy levels. If you’re exhausted or low in nutrition, you don’t need any extra energy to do anything but live.

Stress can also lead to low energy levels, and it occurs when we get busy. So all the new plans you’ve got, while great for improving our lives, can cause stress as well. One way to fight stress is to move around, which Ironically can also boost your strength. Even something as easy as a 10 minute walk will relieve your tension and give your energy a boost.

Dr. James Rouse has partnered with Youngevity to create Youngevity Life, a toolbox for creating a healthy life, inside and outside. Youngevity Life blends validated activities with high-performance Youngevity goods to feed your mind, body, and soul. Plus, you can choose from six areas of purpose, including Energy Focus & Stress Release.

When you dive into Youngevity Life, this observation can help you keep perspective: just remember, happiness doesn’t mean you have to set everything else aside and just concentrate on it. You may not need the Mid-Morning Wellness Window, but your afternoon needs a boost. Or maybe you missed the Early Evening Wellness Window, but you want to have a good night’s rest.
