Well here we are at the final day of 31 Days to Better Energy. Since the beginning of August I’ve been writing daily blog posts, with short tasks, all aimed at boosting your energy levels. Tips during the 31 Days have included strategies for improving sleep, your diet, quick ways to get more exercise into your day, as well as methods for managing your mood.

The purpose of 31 Days to Better Energy

My hope is that over the month your energy levels will have improved. Compared to thirty-one days ago you’ll feel more alert, more healthy and more in control of your health.

The other purpose of the 31 Days to Better Energy project is to illustrate one of the central themes of Limes & Lycopene: that by making small and regular changes to what you’re doing, you can change your health. In my post how to change your diet I talked about how large-scale dietary upheaval is unrealistic for most people, whatever their intentions. Instead, you can change your diet, start exercising and improve your health by making small, steady and regular changes to what you’re doing.

All of the 31 Days tasks are designed to take no more than twenty minutes. Some are easy, while others are more challenging, even confronting and peoples’ reactions to the tasks have varied enormously. However if you look back over the tasks, it’s a resource list of thirty-one small-scale health improvements. If you just take one or two of these changes and do them every day, you’ve improved your health.

Today’s task

The final task therefore in 31 Days to Better Energy is to do just that – look back over the full list of energy boosting tips, pick two things and make a commitment to yourself to do these every day. Choose two tasks that resonate with you and boost your energy levels and your health on a long-term basis, by doing them every day.

Thank you

And a big, big thank you to everyone who has taken part in the 31 Days to Better Energy. I’ve really appreciated and enjoyed your feedback, enthusiasm, comments, blog links and emails.
