How do we get more energy so that we can live longer, stronger, and better?

We tend to go towards the body for solutions when it comes to more energy. We think of food, exercise, sleep, rest, and recovery. These lay the foundation for good energy production within the body. But our minds also play a huge role. The quality of our mental energy is essential to longevity and well-being.

Join Pam Strand, podcast host, to learn five ways to train our minds to provide high quality energy for our bodies and our lives.

1. Cultivate a growth mindset to support personal growth
2. Practice mindfulness to increase self-awareness and gain insights
3. Nurture a positive outlook to build ourselves up, not tear us down
4. Create purpose by investing our time and energy in pursuits that align with our highest values
5. Show compassion to others and ourselves to enhance social connections and well-being.
