These are 3 things I tell every client about having energy – because they are great first steps to create change.

Tip #1: You don’t need more caffeine – you may need minerals
Tip #2: Movement can boost more energy maybe more than naps
Tip #3: Stress is an energy leak – find time in your day to reset and reframe

If you only pick one to start with this week, make it Tip #2.

Your body and mind will thank you.

Which one do you need most right now?
