Let's be real: running a business can be incredibly exhausting. But here's the thing - you don't have to operate on empty. There are three powerful sources of energy available to you right now, and when you tap into them correctly, they're practically unlimited. In this episode, we're cutting through the noise to explore how you can access these energy reserves, even during your busiest seasons.Your physical energy is your foundation - it's what gets you out of bed and keeps you going when you're reaching for that second coffee. We'll explore how your cellular powerhouses (yes, your mitochondria!) are affected by stress, and why that 9:30 PM bedtime might be your new secret weapon. Beyond the physical, we’re talking about mental and spiritual (life force) energy playing crucial roles in your daily performance. From practical hacks like managing your blood sugar levels for razor-sharp focus, to identifying which tasks actually light you up (and which ones you should delegate), we’ll discuss how to create sustainable energy that fuels both your business and your passion. By the end of this episode, you'll have actionable strategies to tap into all three energy sources, helping you show up as your best self in business and life.Key Takeaways:Physical Energy: Sleep optimisation, nutrition balance and mitochondrial healthMental Energy: Focus management, stress reduction and blood sugar regulationSpiritual Energy: Task alignment, delegation strategies and passion-driven productivityLINKSDouble Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com Mentioned in this episode:Buh-Bye Burnout

Energy Solutions for those over-worked & over-tired
Do you ever feel as though life is just one exhausting treadmill? You work hard, balance responsibilities, and yet, can't seem to shake off that constant feeling of fatigue. You may be surprised to learn that this overwhelming exhaustion might have nothing to do with your workload.Fatigue manifests as sleepless nights, heightened stress and a dip in mood, affecting mental wellbeing. It's easy to attribute these symptoms to a demanding schedule. But what if the real culprit has nothing to do with how much you’re doing?In this episode, I’m talking about the real reason you might be burnt out, and how you can find renewed energy without altering your daily routine. It's all about the body’s energy production and stress management. Our cells are equipped with mitochondria, often referred to as natural batteries, responsible for generating energy. When you increase activity, your body produces more mitochondria through a process known as mitochondrial biogenesis, resulting in enhanced energy levels. Essentially, the more we do, the more we can do.We’ll also explore how to improve mitochondrial health, including:Reducing stress hormonesCorrecting internal imbalancesFocusing on mental healthRemember, low energy levels don’t dictate your capacity. By enhancing mitochondrial health and managing stress, you can achieve more without feeling drained. You don’t need a dramatic lifestyle change to start feeling better. Small tweaks in your daily routine can drastically improve your energy, allowing you to live a much fuller life.LINKSFurther Training: https://vesnahrsto.com/join-evolution-webinar Double Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com Mentioned in this episode:Buh-Bye Burnout

Mind Over Food
Have you ever been in a place where you're watching every bite you eat, sticking to a strict exercise routine to feel fit, yet you still end up feeling tired or not as healthy as you wish? It’s downright frustrating, isn't it? You're following all the rules, so why isn't it working?Well the culprit could be the gut-brain axis. Have you ever felt a 'nervous stomach' before speaking in public, or butterflies before a big event? That’s your mind talking to your gut. Similarly, if you're stressed about food, your body can have a harder time digesting food properly. Recently, a client of mine experienced this first-hand. She had chronic gut issues, liver problems, and multiple food intolerances. Over time, we worked on gut healing, and her health improved significantly.However, some symptoms returned, not as severe, but they were there. It turned out that her extreme focus on her eating plan was the problem. Her anxiety about deviating from her diet was causing stress and affecting her gut. I told her she needed to trust the healing we had done and her body's ability to handle different foods. When we spoke again a month later her symptoms had vanished, and she was enjoying a variety of foods with ease. This showed her just how powerful her mind was over her body.So, think about your own relationship with food. Are you always strict with your eating? Do your symptoms appear when you eat off-plan? Take a moment to recognise how much your thoughts might be shaping your physical symptoms and your feelings about food.I’d absolutely love to hear your thoughts, let me know in the comments below!LINKSFurther Training: https://vesnahrsto.com/join-evolution-webinar Double Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com Mentioned in this episode:Register For The MasterclassThe masterclass focuses on regaining leanness after 40, reversing insulin resistance and belly fat.

A Working Woman's Guide to Calming the Brain
What does anxiety stop you from doing?How does it interfere with the life you want to live or the work you want to do?If you’ve ever felt anxiety’s grip, you know it can be debilitating and it’s a serious hurdle that blocks a lot of people from living the life they want. The thing is, anxiety isn’t your enemy. When you feel your heart beating faster, your palms sweating and your mind going a hundred miles an hour, your brain has detected something that it believes is a threat, whether you're aware of it or not. It all starts with the amygdala—a tiny but mighty security system within your mind. It prepares your body just in case the future poses a threat. This can be triggered by a shadow lurking in your peripheral vision or a simple thought. Whether there is a physical threat or it’s just in your thinking, the response is exactly the same. When we feel anxious, of course we want it to go away. But that resistance to anxiety is the very thing that amplifies it. The best way to reduce anxiety is to do whatever you’re doing with anxiety anyway. Then, your brain learns that it is safe.Here’s what I’ve learnt about anxiety:1. Anxiety Is Not Your Enemy: Understand that the racing heart and dry mouth you experience aren’t signs of weakness but signals that your body is gathering its resources to perform well. 2. Do It Anyway: It sounds almost too simple, but allowing yourself to undertake tasks with anxiety rather than fighting it can often diminish its strength. 3. Exposure Is Your Friend: Repeated exposure to anxiety-inducing situations can, over time, teach your amygdala that you are safe. The more presentations you give, the less intimidating they become, proving to your brain that the perceived threat is manageable.What would you find yourself doing if your anxiety didn’t stand in the way? Accept that feeling nervous is a part of the journey, and let it come and go without letting it hold you back. Teach your amygdala through exposure, and transform anxiety from a barrier into a stepping stone toward your aspirations. Remember, it's not about getting rid of anxiety; it's about understanding and thriving despite it.LINKSFurther Training: https://vesnahrsto.com/join-evolution-webinar Double Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com Mentioned in this episode:Buh-Bye Burnout

What if everything you learned about self-improvement was wrong?
What if everything you've been taught about self-improvement is actually wrong? This question might make you uneasy, especially if you're accustomed to the constant chase for improvement, whether that's being smarter, richer or more talented. The truth is, many of these teachings hinge on a detrimental idea—you're not enough as you are. And here's where the conversation gets interesting. There's a profound shift available to us if we dare to step beyond the fallacies.At the very root of many self-improvement journeys is a sense of lack—a belief that we must undergo constant transformation in order to succeed. I've been there myself. Like many, I found myself engrossed in strategies, coaching sessions and personal critiques, all the while nurturing an underlying belief that I wasn't good enough.My breakthrough? Understanding that we possess far more innate tools can liberate us from self-doubt. Seeing this potential within ourselves is key, and it calls for a deeper understanding of insights. Insights, as opposed to the exhausting grind of constant willpower, offer us transformative 'aha' moments that can fundamentally change our behaviours and beliefs.If you're finding yourself ensnared in your goals or life challenges and are unable to move forward, this episode is for you. I encourage you to pause and allow space for an insight to emerge. Often, it’s when we still our minds that the greatest revelations occur. So next time you're stuck, take a moment to quiet the noise and seek that guiding insight.Key takeaways:The trap of perceived inadequacyShifting perspectives through insightsThe ineffectiveness of flaw-focused self-developmentThe transformative power of insights and how they can create instant changeRelying on insights over intellect Trusting the unseen intelligenceLINKSFurther Training: https://vesnahrsto.com/join-evolution-webinar Double Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com Mentioned in this episode:Buh-Bye Burnout
