  Speaker 1: Elena Wood. There we go, Elena Wood, Nightingale College.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, how are you today?
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't have much energy. Oh no,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: I think I'm here.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Then I don't know how to manage my energy. I
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: need some energy management here. Would you just would you
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: maybe just telling me how to shape up and fly right? Yeah?
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys? Straighten up?
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Pal Yeah, tell me tell me come on, you mean
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: to me?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's not my that's not my mL I come
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: in nice, that's how I play.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, play nice? Then what do we need to do
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to get energy? What do we need to do?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah? So the first recommendation is to check in with
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: your different types of energy, And there's four primary our
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: physical energy, which is impacted by how we sleep, the
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: food we eat, how we move our bodies. We have
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: our mental energy, which is how how well we're able
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: to focus where we put our attention. Emotional energy, which
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: is our stress, our mood, our feelings of connection, and
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: of course our purpose, which is connected to our meaning
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: and our values. So if we're taking care of our body,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: if we're taking care of how we focus and making
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: sure we're connected and aligned with our purpose, We're going
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: to have more energy.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, if you say so, I know it sounds
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: so simple, right, yeah, but I'm more I know it's
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: just easy, easy, easy. So if I give up fried food,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: If I give up fried food, I'll find the meaning
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: of life. Is that sort of where we're staying.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, you just might if you eat more broccoli,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: you're going to be more aligned. I can feel it,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: So what is this now? Energy to task? What is that? Yes?
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: So the idea here is that you do your more intense,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: your harder tasks at the times of day when you
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: have more energy. If you're a morning person, knock out
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: the really hard stuff first thing in the morning. If
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you suffer from that two pm crash, like so many
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: of us do, I'm raising my hand, try and do
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: those easier tasks later in the day when your energy
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: is a little bit more drained.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I don't have the two I don't know. I don't
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: have that two pm crash. I have I have that
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: nine thirty in the morning crash. Well, I'm going to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: be back.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: On the air at two per earlier than mine.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so, so but what do you so you cause
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: just if you're aware of these things you like, like
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I should write the Utah Word of the dayte scripts
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: that I don't like doing, I should do those earlier
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: in the day.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, exactly, exactly, do that stuff that demands a
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: little bit more of you when you've got a little
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: bit more in your tank.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and then what what do you mean? Take
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: real breaks, real.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Breaks, step away from your work and your screens and
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: do something that gives your brain and your body a
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: chance to really restore and focus your energy. You know
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of times, and I'm guilty of this for sure.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: We eat lunch at our desk, we scroll our phones
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: while we're taking our ten minute break, whatever it might be.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: So do your best to really break free from that
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: technology and the work while you're taking a break.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: You have you so there are these apps and I
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: forget what it's called them, but you can you set
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: it so that you know you'll work for twenty five
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: minutes and then it gives you an alarm. Yeah here,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: now take a five minute break, you know.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those are a really great method to help you
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: kind of do some really intense work and then step away,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: move your body a little bit, come back and be focused.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I think that app was called the cigarette cigarette break,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: called Smoke them Up. A smoke breakap the one I've
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: heard of.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: In that regard though obviously smoking not good for you,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: but if you're if you're not a smoker, you should
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: follow that example and go outside and just spend five
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: minutes enjoy the fresh outdoor air.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Talk to the smokers. Yeah, they know everything. They have
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a non smoke break.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Have a non smoke break. That's the advice.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: All right, Now, let's see what is this. Reduce distractions.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Reduce distractions. This is both for while you're while you're working,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: as well as while you're taking your breaks. A lot
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: of times our brain tries to jump between multiple tasks
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and that is honestly really exhausting for our mental energy,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: for our emotional energy. And so do your very best
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: to simply focus on one thing. See if you can
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: turn off notifications that kind of a thing.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Well, it's really hard in this office because we have cubicles,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and while I'm sitting there working there are people having
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: loud conversations around the very many different times of the day.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I wish we got to get you some noise canceling headsongs.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I should Uh, Okay, what else do we
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: have here? Oh? Last discovery recovery.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the small recovery moments during your day. And this
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: is pretty similar to what we were talking about. That
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: kind of work for twenty five minutes and then take
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: a short recovery break. And this can be just walking
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: over to refill your water, maybe you stretch your body
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: a little bit, maybe you step outside or simply look
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: out the window. Just something to break up those chunks
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: of work.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I think I'm what I'm going to insist on is
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: that I have a medical gurney right next to my
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: next to my next to my cubicle. We could do
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: we could put that in the contract. Just lie down
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: on the gurney. Well, we'll wheel you outside for a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: couple of minutes. What have That would be a good break?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I think, Well, Elena, those are those are really good
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: things that we should all read through those and be
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: it's and it's not really difficult. Just just do it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's simple task for stores.
• 6:18
