If there’s one thing I’ve noticed more and more, year on year in my approaching 20 years in the Fitness Industry………..

It’s that people are tired.

We’re lower in energy and mood, on average, then we ever have been.

Running on somewhere between empty and ‘enough’.

If I surveyed 100 people and asked “Are your energy levels always where you need them to be?”…………

Only a handful, at most, would say yes.

Sleep is the obvious one.

But we know that there’s more to it than that.

I covered exercise the other day and how it creates energy rather than costs it.

And we all know what we put into our bodies makes a difference.

Our food and drink choices.

But there’s more than one way into us.

Not just through our mouths.

What comes in through our eyes and ears plays a massive part, doesn’t it?

What we see and hear all day affects our thoughts which, in turn, affects our energy levels.

What the people around us say.

The media.

Conventional and social.

If a large proportion of what we see and hear tells us that the world is rubbish and everything is wrong………….

That’s not going to help our energy levels, is it?

But we don’t always realise this do we?

And, like what goes in our mouth, we have control over this.

Maybe not quite as much as with our food and drink, sure.

But probably more control than we’re exercising right now?

Scrolling endlessly through social media make you feel rubbish?

“Looking in the comments” make you feel that “people are idiots / ridiculous / unbelievable”?

Watching / listening to the news get you down about how things are in the world?

The things we watch on TV / YouTube / TikTok make us feel bad about our lives?

We don’t need to do any of them.

Or we can do less.

Or change which of each we do.

I haven’t watched the news or bought a newspaper since I separated from my first wife 10 years ago.

I don’t think I’ve missed out on of the news that I’m actually interested in.

I can find that out through a quick Google.

I’ll tell you tomorrow about the only bit of COVID news I regularly check tomorrow and what that could mean for your weight tracking.

As always, there’s no right or wrong.

We can put whatever we like into our mouths, eyes, ears and any other orifice.

If it works for us, awesome.

If it doesn’t, we could question some of it………….

Much love,
