Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/topic/podcasts/ for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: Three things you can do to energise yourself The primary benefits of doing the power pose The effects of breathwork Why you should practice gratitude Key Takeaways: When you do the power pose, you get about a 20% increase in testosterone, which is needed for energy. It also releases endorphins in your body. Doing a structured breathing exercise such as box breathing is very effective for changing the nervous system and can leave you feeling refreshed and energised. A practice of gratitude transforms your day and gives you a shot of energy. Action Steps: Do the power pose. Do breathwork. Practice gratitude. Leanne said: “I love breathing because it’s such an effective way of getting you from a sympathetic stressed state to a parasympathetic rested state in terms of your autonomic nervous system.” “You can’t be grateful and anxious at the same time. You can’t be grateful and angry at the same time. You can’t be grateful but depressed at the same time.” If you’re interested in finding out what your health IQ is, take the Health IQ test to find out, and get a free 39-page report built around our six signals, which are sleep, mental health, energy, body composition, digestion, and fitness.
