Main Questions Asked:

Can you tell us about your story?

What are five easy things we can start doing today to give us more energy and focus?

Key Points made by Brandon:

The one resource you require everyday is oxygen. Most people are not breathing properly and breathe shallowly from their chest instead of their belly.

You can decrease your stress and increase your energy simply by taking 5 deep lower belly breaths any time.

Breathe in through your nose for a 4 count, hold it for a 2 count, and then breathe out through your mouth for an 8 count.

If you’re feeling tired drink a big glass of water – over 85% of us are chronically dehydrated.

Drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water. Keep a water bottle on you at all times.

Take 5-10 minutes every day and practice meditating – visualize your perfect day.

A 20 minute meditation is the equivalent of an hour of sleep.

Live an inspired life. Do things that challenge you to try new things and that will stretch your comfort zone.

Read for personal development.

Always eat for sustained energy instead of for instant gratification.

Whenever you eat ask yourself “how will this affect my energy now and three hours from now”.
