These 10 Habits are killing your energy and performance…
1. Not getting enough sleep - if your body and mind are tired, your productivity and performance will suffer. Sounds obvious, but our society tends to prioritize “the grind” over getting adequate rest.
2. Morning scrolling - how you start your day plays a huge role in your energy level. Instead move around, get hydrated, get sunlight. Sitting, scrolling throws off circadian rhythm (sleep-wake cycle)
3. Being dehydrated - when you don’t drink enough water your body has to work overtime for routine functions, which leads to fatigue. Drink at least 8 cups of water per day.
4. Eating junk food - to be energized, you need proper nutrients - 3 key nutrients 1) grains, beans, fruits, veg 2) nuts, fish, olive oil, 3) B vitamins (lean meats)
5. Not enough movement - can lead to depression, a decrease in serotonin, which lowers energy
6. Being overweight - causes fatigue, joint pain, depression, sleep apnea, hormone imbalance
7. Drinking too much caffeine - drink your coffee in the morning, so it doesn’t affect your internal clock
8. Drinking alcohol - interferes with REM sleep, which is the most restorative part of the sleep cycle
9. Lack of sunlight - can affect our sleep because our internal clock wants to be aligned with the sun
10. Staying stressed - puts your mind on high alert, the fight or flight mode, and causes extra work for the body

What stands out to me is the fatigue, and lack of energy factor. Aside from performance and productivity, it just sucks to feel sluggish. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs. XO
