What do you do when you lose focus? Well, most people just push harder and deplete themselves. There's a smarter way. In today's episode Satori will share his secrets to boost energy and get you aligned with your values. Let's get into the episode... Good morning, good afternoon, good evening wherever you are in the world and whenever you\u2019re listening. It\u2019s time for a brand NEW episode of halfass to badass.  As an entrepreneur with a lot of moving parts, it\u2019s easy to lose focus on what is important (there are tons of distractions looking for your attention) and sometimes it could be tough to maintain energy throughout the day. A lot of our clients that come to us, they want to be productive, they want to make more money and achieve more but struggle to keep the energy alive, they lose focus and build up a lot of stress and frustration. Many times they are very overwhelmed.   Obviously this is very draining and taxing on their bodies and their minds.   So in today\u2019s episode I want to give you some simple, but effective and doable activities or actions you can do daily to boost energy and focus and watch your productivity and efficiency Sky rocket.   Here are my 5 hacks to boost your energy and sharpen your focus.   WATER Water is the best solvent to eliminate toxins, alkalize and remove inflammation from your body. I nourish my body and my brain. Anytime I feel my brain being tired or I experience some kind of brain fog, I drink water. How much water should you drink? Lots of people have different ideas around this and some even think you can overhydrate. For most people that will never happen. Of course it may differ depending on body weight, if you move a lot and which climate you\u2019re in. But I have two simple rules you can adopt if you want. I drink half a liter (16 ounces) first thing in the morning. No matter what. That\u2019s how I start my day. After that I do one of two things or a combo. Anytime I pee I drink a glass of water. Empty one way fill up another way. Or I drink water in combo with my time blocks. I\u2019ll tell you more about that in a moment. If I sit and work for 50 minutes, then after that I get up drink some water. I don\u2019t drink water after 7 or 8 pm depending of when I go to bed so that I don\u2019t disturb my sleep  I use my breath for relaxation But I also use it as a way to balance my nervous system. When we feel stressed or worried or overwhelmed we tense up, so by actively and intentionally breathing we start to balance our nervous system. Think about about it, you body gets tense automatically (unconsciously) you don\u2019t have to think about it. But to relax you have to be intentional. BREATHING I do some stretching in the morning. I take walks in the morning and stack the breathing to it so I multiply the effect. Meaning intentional breath and walk together. MOVEMENT I was never a coffee drinker. Actually I was very against it for years because it is very acidic. I still believe coffee isn\u2019t good for you. I used to work hard to get people to stop drinking coffee. But then I discovered a new way to drink it that has brain performance benefits and I made a new decision. I still believe you need to get quality coffee because a lot of coffee has mold. So here\u2019s what I do differently. I brew coffee in a french press, I pour the coffee in a blender, add some organic grass fed butter, I add some kardemumma (for taste and because it is an anti-inflammatory spice) and mix it for 20 seconds. Then it\u2019s ready. I do add cinnamon on top. Then it\u2019s ready to drink. Why butter? Because the fat fuels your brain. So instead of having my brain get energy from sugar my brain is turned on by fat. Much more effective and keeps me balanced throughout the day.   BUTTER COFFEE I connect to things that matter that inspire me. We all have things we value more and things we value less. I focus on filling my day with things that inspire me, fill me with energy and aligned with my values because that will make me not only productive but it will keep me fully charged throughout the day. This is also where the time blocking comes in which I mentioned earlier. I block 50 min for my most important activities. I have a timer on so I can focus on the task and not have to think about anything else at that time. Then when the timer goes off I do all of what I shared with you. I drink water, I breathe, I stretch, walk or do something to move and connect to the next inspiring thing I want to accomplish. CONNECTING TO WHAT INSPIRES ME   Take what you\u2019ve learned today and implement it in your day, your week, your month and watch your energy, productivity and inspiration grow massively. We can all have excuses or reasons why not to do something, but this isn\u2019t one of those. You may have your habits in place, but if you add this into your routine you\u2019ll be happy you did.  If you\u2019re focused this won\u2019t take more than 2-3 minutes inside of your time blocks.    I\u2019ve got a lot of NEW and exciting episodes coming up so make sure you subscribe if you haven\u2019t that yet, and share this podcast with people you care about.
