Wise advise from Jack LaLanne: Stop being so tired

Do you always feel tired? This is rather easy to fix. As Jack Lalanne sug­gests on the video below, all you need to do is:

  1. Exer­cise regularly
  2. Eat a bal­anced diet
  3. Relax

If it is so easy, and given the knowl­edge has been around for a very long time, why do we have a soci­ety full of exhausted people?

Maybe in our quest for ‘quick fixes’ and ‘how to’ eso­teric tech­niques, we have for­got­ten that it often is about com­ing back to basics. And to put it into prac­tice does not take a lot of time, energy or money. Here are some ideas on how you can start to improve your energy levels:

1. Exer­cise regularly

All it takes is 15 min­utes. I kid you not. Use the ‘Exer­cise Lad­der’ from John Walker’s “The Hacker’s Diet” to build an exer­cise rou­tine into your day that is DESIGNED not to take more than 15 minutes.

Still too much time?

Then how about fol­low­ing Dan Millman’s “The Peace­ful War­rior work­out”, which can be com­pleted in as lit­tle as 4 min­utes per day? If buy­ing the DVD is too much money for you, get Dan’s book Every­day Enlight­en­ment in which he describes the exer­cise routine.

2. Eat a bal­anced diet

We all love our ham­burg­ers, our french fries, our milk­shakes. Right? Well, how about say­ing ‘No’ to your wants at least once a day, and choos­ing a healthy alter­na­tive instead?

3. Relax

Again, you can take as lit­tle time as 10 min­utes and do a relax­ation exer­cise. You can do a Google search for the word med­i­ta­tion, and will find hun­dreds of ‘how to’ guides to this relax­ing prac­tice. Incor­po­rate it into your day for 10 mins, and you will feel a notice­able dif­fer­ence in your stress and energy levels.

Want some­thing more eso­teric? I sug­gest you head over to Schwartz & Loehr’s web site Per­for­mance Pro­grams, or to Matt Church’s own web site where he dis­cussed the 5 lifestyle keys and our own chem­istry.

But it really is far sim­pler than that, as Jack Lalanne said in his video.
