Do you feel tired and apathetic? Or do you find your tendency is to start a lot of projects but you never seem to finish anything? Either way you are not using your energy to your advantage. When you feel good, everything is easier. You will be more productive and happier. And you will be more likely to have good eating and exercise habits. This momentum leads you to greater health and overall wellbeing. Your skin will look better. Your stamina will increase. Your likelihood of success in all areas of your life will improve. There are many ways to harness your energy. Here are some:
- Nutrition - Athletes understand the value of eating nutritious foods. When you fuel your body correctly, you get peak performance in all that you do. This does not mean you need to deprive yourself of foods you love. Life is meant to be enjoyed. Can you create a belief that feeling your best and having great energy will create joy and opportunities? If so, then it will become easier for you to make smart choices.
Our society in general has become confused and unclear on how to eat well. There are so many “diets” and therefore so many contradictions. Here is a simple rule of thumb.
1. Have your biggest meal mid day. This is when your digestive fires are the strongest, so you will digest your food better. Plus this is when you need food. Think of it as throwing some logs on a fire. Why would you do that in the evening before you go to sleep? If you do this right you will have good energy in the afternoon and think more clearly. For those of you used to the 3 pm crash this may be hard to believe. But if you are eating whole grains, lean proteins, good fats, fruits and vegetables, then you will notice an improvement in your energy level. And you won’t be starving when you get home and eat non-stop from dinner till bedtime. Another advantage to a light supper is then the body can use nighttime for restoring and healing the body (versus digesting food it does not need).
2. Think about why you eat. Are you satisfying another need like boredom or stress relief? If so there are lots of better ways to satisfy those needs. One great example that would work for both of those needs would be getting out for a walk. Other times we eat because of cravings. This is a good reason to get off the stimulants like sugars and caffeine. It can take a few days to a week to detoxify the body from these substances but after that you will be amazed how good you feel. Your energy levels will stabilize. You won’t be constantly thinking about food. This can be very liberating and well worth the momentary struggles with the detoxification process.
3. Don’t label foods as “good” or “bad”. In other words, don’t deprive yourself. If you enjoy apple pie then sit and enjoy every bite. Mindful eating is a great way to enjoy foods. If you have the TV on, or are sitting at the computer, or having an unpleasant mealtime conversation (i.e. gossiping, arguing, or talking about work), then you will not even realize you just ate your favorite food. So sit and just eat. If you are sharing a meal with others enjoy pleasant conversation. You will digest your food better and you will enjoy the experience much more. Plus the body must use a lot of energy to digest food, so make this the priority. And eating food more slowly gives the brain time to register when the stomach is full, so you will probably eat less. One last comment. If you eat your favorite food and feel bad or guilty afterwards, why bother? Instead feel very fortunate that you have the resources available to you to enjoy that food. Love it. Eat it. Then forget about food and get on with your life.
4. Eat only foods that taste good to you. Most of us know broccoli is good for us. But if you hate broccoli your digestive enzymes won’t activate as well, and therefore you will get less nutritional value from the broccoli. This does not mean it’s a good idea to eat a lot of fast foods. Instead, find healthy foods you enjoy.
- Exercise – Many people avoid exercise because it feels like work. If it feels like an energy drain than it isn’t the right type of exercise for you, so find things you enjoy doing. You will increase your metabolism and burn more calories. The right type of exercise for you will give you energy. Walking is a great way to get exercise. Only jog if you enjoy it. If you hate the gym, spend more time outdoors. Just like eating, do only what you enjoy.
-Learning new things – This is a great way to exercise the mind and prevent apathy that comes from boredom. Learning new things keeps the mind alert and keeps you interesting. Another huge benefit is that learning new things can prevent dementia. Find topics that are interesting to you. Read books, do research on the internet. Join groups and take classes.
-Body work - Have you ever tried a massage? Or acupuncture? There are many good ways to channel your energy through these modalities.

Work to Live
Do you spend most of your time working? Is this the life you want to live? I’m not suggesting you quit your job and stop being a responsible human being. But taking a few moments to determine if you are living to work, or working to live may help you to reprioritize. If you follow the steps below you will quickly see where you want to make improvements and how to get started. And you may be able to increase your efficiency, which will free up time for the other things you love but currently do not have time for.
The key ingredient to success is personal satisfaction. If all you are doing is working, then it is very likely that at some point you will have regrets. Your health or relationships may suffer from lack of attention. Or maybe you haven’t had a vacation in years and feel you have missed out on enjoying life. Or maybe you’re old belief that big homes and fancy cars are signs of success has caused you to realize that big mortgages and car payments leave you feeling stressed out or depressed.
You can work smarter, be productive and be profitable. You can improve your quality of work and quality of life. You simply have to take some time to look at the big picture. Here are some ideas:
The Satisfaction Survey
Determine your level of satisfaction in each category below. Use a scale of 1-5, 1 being least satisfied and 5 being most satisfied. Leave out guilt or societal measures. For example; don’t guilt yourself into thinking the category for fitness means you “should” go to the gym, and if you don’t, that you deserve a low score. If you honestly believe going to the gym would improve your personal satisfaction, then by all means give it a lower score because these are the areas you may decide to work on. And get creative. You can improve your fitness in lots of ways if you hate going to the gym. An example of a societal measure would be assuming you need to have a significant other for a high rating in this category. If you are on your own and happy with your life than your satisfaction level for this category would be high. Now you are ready. Go ahead a take a few moments to review the categories below and rate each one separately.
Professional/Business: First and most importantly; what is your satisfaction level on your overall work or business? Are you satisfied with your knowledge base, contributions and your compensation? Do you like what you do?
Next create a few categories around the major functions of your work/business and rate each one separately. Then look at each function with a rating of 3 or less. How can you increase your satisfaction in these areas? Can you delegate simple tasks to someone else? Are you wasting time somewhere and can you think of a creative idea to fix that? Are there personnel problems that should be addressed? Does your dissatisfaction come from being overwhelmed or from too much clutter? Clutter is a big drain on energy so eliminate the mess whenever possible.
Improving productivity not only increases satisfaction but can free up some time so you can move onto other things.
Personal: This includes things such as health, fitness, self care, education, personal development, fun, recreation. Rate each one separately and if there are other categories you want to add then by all means do so. This exercise is meant to get you thinking about everything that is important in your life. For example, if you are a religious or spiritual person that may be an important category for you to add. You also may want to eliminate a few categories.
Financial: What is your satisfaction level as it relates to your finances? Are you satisfied with the amount of money you have saved? Are you satisfied with the balances on your lines of credit, mortgages and/or rent? If you want create a detailed list of your expenses and rate each separately. There may be some real opportunity here to de-clutter as well because we do not just accumulate clutter in the office, house and garage. Over time your magazine subscriptions may pile up or memberships to groups and clubs. And if you did find a new way to exercise that does not include the gym than don’t forget to cancel the membership.
If you own a business do one rating for your personal finances and one for your business.
Social: This includes things like significant other, romance, family, friends, and community. Rate each separately and add or remove categories to make this a complete list for you. Human beings are social creatures. If you feel lonely make it a priority to find ways to meet new people. Take a class, volunteer, or join a group or club. Then go. Look at people when they walk by and say hello. Ask people how they are doing and really listen.
Physical Environment: This includes your home, workplace, neighborhood, and community. Are these places comfortable and aesthetically pleasing to you? If you feel comfortable in your physical environment your level of stress will be lower than if you do not. Next think of the place where you feel most relaxed. This may be a special vacation spot or maybe the time you get to unwind on your drive home from the office. If you do not have a place or a few minutes each day to unwind then make this a priority.
Now look at the areas you scored lowest in. See these as the weakest links in your life chain. And just like a chain, the weakest link will be unable to bare the same level of strain that the stronger links can bare. Take time to think about how you can strengthen these areas of your life. If you don’t believe you have the time now to work on these changes then think about that. Why not now? Putting off change that can make your life better doesn’t make a lot of sense. Later won’t be easier. You’ll probably never be less “busy”. And in fact it may get more challenging to make the changes later, especially if that link breaks and the relationship ends or an illness occurs. But if you really have a really good reason to wait then pick a time in the near future and make that your start date. You’ve got to commit to it.
The Vision Statement
Now that you have taken time to think about all areas of your life hopefully you feel motivated and ready to make some positive changes. There may be a few things you want to do. Before jumping into specific goal setting consider coming up with your vision statement. Busy people will say they do not have time for this. Logical people may think this is silly.
Businesses understand the importance of a vision and mission statement but many times individuals do not even consider creating one. Vision and mission statements are powerful because they provide you with clarity, direction and purpose. Individuals with a clear vision find it easier to be successful because quite simply, they know what they want. Not just in one area of their life but the big picture. From here you can then prioritize your goals and work on them in an order that will give you the best results. For example, if your see yourself with a PhD, then your first steps will need to include education. With other things you can work on multiple goals at once. You can work 60-70 hours per week, continue your education, spend time with family, and fit in a few yoga classes or walks. That’s exactly what I did for many years. You just need to have a vision and plan your day so you can function as efficiently as possible.
So what is a vision statement? It’s simply a way of articulating an image you are seeing in your minds-eye. The image is you living your perfect life. What would that look like? If you want start writing down as much as you can. Then try to summarize. It’s best to have a short and easy-to-remember vision statement. That way you can check in throughout your day to see if your actions are in alignment with your vision. If your actions are not in alignment with your vision, then take some time to decide if those are activities you want to continue engaging in. There will certainly be some responsibilities that fall into this category. But there could be opportunity here to use your time more efficiently.
Don’t think about the time it will take to do this exercise. Think about the benefits.
The Goals
Whether you came up with a vision statement or not, you can still set goals. If you don’t like the word goal then find a word that suits you better. Maybe you would prefer aim, objective, destination, purpose, target, or aspiration. I will use the word goal however.
Now you can decide what goals you want to establish for yourself. Take a moment to write them down. Next, look at the wording. Is your goal clearly stating what you want? Many times people word goals around what they do not want. You may be wondering why it matters and again it’s quite simple. If you cannot clearly articulate what you want, then how do you expect to get it? It’s easy to state the obvious like “I want to lose weight”, or I want to earn more money, or “I want to be in a happy relationship”. Here are some suggestions for good goal wording:
The Lifestyle
You may now be thinking this seems like a lot of work. But is planning for your perfect lifestyle effort or pleasurable? And the return on investment is living the life you desire. Maybe consider working with a life or business coach to help get you in the right frame of mind. Attitude is everything.

Anticipation is Motivation
Soon my husband Jody and I head to Hawaii for a few days of relaxation and to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary which was in February.
Trips can be a lot of fun but I think the anticipation of an exciting trip provides a lot of benefit as well. When you are happy, hopeful, or looking forward to something you are more likely to have good energy and accomplish things. Anticipating something desirable is motivating. Before your trip you may notice you are more productive at work and around the house.
You can use the same technique to motivate you to move towards things you want in any area of your life. First you need to get excited about it. Anticipating how you will feel, look, act when you are living your best life is important because you are focusing on what you want from life vs. what you do not want. You gain clarity. And when you know where you want to go and how you want to get there the hard part is over. Most people don’t even know how to clearly articulate what they want. Can you?
Planning for a trip and planning to move forward with your goals are very similar. The plan motivates you, and setting a completion date keeps you accountable. If you create short term goals and action items it will also allow you to notice success, or progress, along the way.
So if you are having a hard time getting moving towards something you really want in life then consider coming up with a well worded goal, a plan, short term goals, action items and set a completion date.
Not a planner? Just like with travel not everything needs to be well thought out. The key ingredient to success is action. So go for it. The only risk is you may waste time and money doing things that do not bring about desired results. Planning can help to prevent that. But as the Nike ads say “Just do it”.

Welcome to my new blog
Hello.
First I would like to introduce myself. I am Jenny Gallagher. For more information about my business and services you can go to my websites at http://www.jennygallagher.com/ and http://www.gallaghersolutions.com/. Today I will provide a little more information about myself personally.
I have always been the motivated, hardworking type. At age 16 I got my first part time job as a packer at a grocery store. Within a few months I was promoted to cashier; a job I liked and stayed with for seven years. I loved working, meeting people, earning money and saving money. I had envelopes that I would stick cash in to save for things like a nice new pair of boots and a stereo. During my senior year I had two part time jobs. My second job was at a local florist. I saved enough money to help through college. After college I purchased my first car.
While I was a hard worker I was not sure what I wanted to do for a living. After college I moved to Florida for a while. My newly married younger sister was there with her husband and it was close to where we grew up. I got a job at Orlando Clinic and stayed in the healthcare field in billing, claims and systems development for the next 25 years (even though I was only at Orlando Clinic for about two months). I seemed to wander into a career that ended up being very satisfying for me. While I did not have a clear vision it didn't bother me but even way back then I understood that I was lacking in a vision.
At age 28 I married the love of my life and we have been happily married for 20 years. In my opinion the key to a successful relationship comes from respecting each other as individuals. We support each other's goals and dreams and when necessary we negotiate. Plus we have fun and enjoy the simple things in life. We lived apart for 3 years and were on opposite coasts on business trips on 9/11. Neither of us was home and it was a month before we were together again. I will never be bored or take for granted a quiet evening at home together. We both have strong family values and spend as much time with our families as possible.
As my career progressed I began to volunteer for extra projects that were related to team building and I found I had a strong passion for learning how to interact more effectively with others. My interest in personal development, wellness, empowerment, motivation, success and learning more about human behavior grew as I learned.
Then at my Annapolis Women's Network meetings I met a few life and business coaches. By that time I knew I wanted to start my own business but thought it would be in providing billing services for the elderly or sick that was overwhelmed with the claims submission process. I decided to learn more about life and business coaching and never looked back. I've worked with a few coaches myself and continue to learn by attending workshops, taking classes, networking, reading, and most importantly from observing others. I decided to start offering workshops, trainings and lectures, which is an area of my business that I enjoy and does well. The workshops lead me to publishing my book Four Steps to a Better Life. I also became a registered yoga teacher through the Yoga Alliance and teach several regular classes and workshops for adults and children.
I still like to think of myself as a hard worker but now my day is not consumed with work. Now that my work is my passion it blends well into my life. Work isn't work anymore. I love what I do and who I have become. I can focus on what is really important. For me that is my vision of wellbeing and success for all who desire it; my mission which is to support others in achieving their goals; and my purpose which is to live in alignment with my vision and mission. I strongly value family, quality relationships, wellbeing, respect, knowledge, spirituality, creativity, ethics, and living a peaceful, loving life.
If you feel it's easy to become confused, tired or overwhelmed, with all of life's demands know that you are not alone. But you can live your dream. You just have to be very clear on what that is and begin to focus on how to get there. And if I can help you do that I would love to.
PLEASE SHARE YOUR STORIES. WHAT DO YOU LOVE TO DO? ARE YOU DOING IT? HOW DO YOU FIT IT IN? HELP TO MOTIVATE OTHERS WITH YOUR STORY. WHAT YOU SAY MAY JUST BE THE PERFECT IDEA OR SOLUTION FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
Thank you! Jenny
