1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 1: Today I'm sharing something different, an invitation to join my 2 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: energy army for my upcoming book. If you're struggling with 3 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: chronic exhaustion and looking for science backed solutions to boost 4 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: your energy, this episode is for you. Welcome to How 5 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: I Work, a show about habits, rituals, and strategies for 6 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: optimizing your day. I'm your host, doctor Amantha Imber. A 7 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: few weeks ago, I started work on my fifth book, 8 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: and unlike my previous books, I'm approaching this one with 9 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: a different kind of mindset. Let me start by telling 10 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: you what the book is about. So it's focused on 11 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: science backed methods for overcoming chronic exhaustion and boosting our 12 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: energy reserves. Think of it like Baraka for your entire life, 13 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: but without that weird fluorescent Now we all know that 14 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: feeling of dragging ourselves through the day, where even small 15 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: tasks feel monumental. And if you listened to this podcast 16 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four and heard me talk about the 17 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: burnout that took me down last year, you will know 18 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: that my energy was shocking. What I've discovered through my 19 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: research is that there are practical, evidence based strategies that 20 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: can dramatically transform our energy levels like really small, simple, 21 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: easy to apply strategies, and I know they work because 22 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: a science and B I've been using them on myself. 23 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: But here's where you come in. Instead of writing this 24 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: book in isolation like I normally do, I'm assembling what 25 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: I'm calling an energy army, a community of brilliant people 26 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: like yourself who currently have limited energy reserves and a 27 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: searching for practical solutions. Okay, now I can hear you 28 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: thinking about I barely have the energy to listen to 29 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: this podcast, and that is precisely why I've designed this 30 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: to be incredibly low effort on your part. Let me 31 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: explain how it works. Each Monday, for eight weeks, starting 32 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: on Monday, May twelve, I'll be emailing you about three 33 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: to five evidence based strategies for boosting your energy. These 34 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: aren't complicated regimes or time consuming practices. Most of these 35 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: techniques take less than five minutes to implement, and all 36 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: you need to do is pick one strategy that resonates 37 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: with you, apply it during the week, and then let 38 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: me know how it went. That's it simple, right. So 39 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: what's fascinating about energy is that small interventions can have 40 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: outsized effects, and in my research, I've found that tiny 41 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: adjustments to our daily routines, environment, or even thought patterns 42 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: can create significant shifts in how energized we feel. But 43 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: what works brilliantly for one person might fall flat for another. 44 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: And that's why your feedback is so valuable. It will 45 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: help me understand which techniques have broad impact and which 46 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: are more individualized. So what's in it for you if 47 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: you join the Energy Army? First, you're going to get 48 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: weekly science backed energy experiments delivered straight to your inbox 49 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: for eight weeks. These are snappy, practical techniques that could 50 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: transform your energy levels, often with minimal time investment. Second, 51 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: you're going to get behind the scenes access to the messy, chaotic, 52 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: intense process that is writing a book and bringing it 53 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: to life. So if you've ever been curious about how 54 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: books come together, this is your chance to see it 55 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: unfold in real time. And Third, you'll have direct influence 56 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: on which strategies make it into the final book through 57 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: your honest feedback. Your experiences will help shape a resource 58 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: that could help thousands of others reclaim their energy. So 59 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: I've been using many of their strategies myself, and they've 60 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: made a transformative difference to me, I feel like my 61 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: energy has done a one eighty on where it was 62 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: last year. So if you're going to join the energy Army, 63 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: here's what to do. Head to the link in the 64 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: show notes and complete the application form. It's going to 65 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: take you about one minute to sign up. The eight 66 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: week experiment kicks off on Monday May twelve, twenty twenty five, 67 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: and it's completely free. All what I ask is your 68 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: willingness to try these strategies and share your honest thoughts. 69 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: Even if those thoughts are this was rubbish and I 70 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: still feel like a sack of multi potatoes. I don't care. 71 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: I just want honest feedback. Okay, Before I sign off, 72 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: I want to emphasize this isn't about pushing yourself to 73 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: do more. It's about finding sustainable ways to feel better 74 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: in your existing life. It's about having the energy reserves 75 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: to enjoy your work and your personal life without constantly 76 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: feeling depleted. I truly believe that energy management is the 77 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: new time management. We spent decades optimizing our calendars and 78 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: to do lists, But what good is an efficient schedule 79 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: if you're too exhausted to show up fully? So if 80 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: you're ready to transform, your relationship with energy, join me 81 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: and hundreds of others in this experiment. And did I 82 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: mention it's free, Yes, it's free. So the link is 83 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: at the top of the show notes and I can't 84 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: wait for you to join me.
