Hello and welcome back to another
episode of Holistic Happiness Club.
And this episode is the extension of the last one.
In the last episode.
If you have heard that, we have talked about
the things, everyday things that takes away your energy
and that's why you should avoid having them in
your routine and at least you should try to
minimize those things in your daily routine.
And this episode we are going to talk
about the things that gives us the energy
that are not food and water, of course.
Alright, we all know that food
and water gives us the energy.
So there are couple of other
things that gives us energy.
So what are those everyday thing that can give us the
energy and we must have those things in our routine.
At least few of them should, we should have and
we should try to have almost all of them.
Alright, so this is what the today's episode all about.
But before we begin on today's episode,
I want to say thank you.
I want to express my gratitude to each and
every one of you who has chosen to tune
into holistic happiness club and learn something new.

So thank you so much.

Next, half an hour or 45
minutes with me in this episode.
Without further delay, let's dive into the topic.
Hi, my name is Akshay Tiwari.
I'm a holistic happiness coach, author of the book
named Usher and the founder of Holistic Happiness Club.
Holistic Happiness Club is the place
where we talk about happiness holistically.
We understand that happiness is not a
single faceted thing, it's a multifaceted thing.
And that's why happiness needs to be
looked at holistically and in that fashion
where each and everything is considered connected.
Each and everything in our life
is connected to our happiness.
Each and everything affects our
success, our happiness, our mood.
And that's why we talk about each and everything
that connects our happiness, our relationship, our wealth, our
success, our social activity and everything else.
Our growth, personal growth, spiritual growth.
And we consider that every topic is going to affect our
happiness in one part or the other part in our life.
More about me and more about college tech
Happiness club and how you can benefit from
this at the end of the episode.
But for now, let's dive into the topic.
Alright, so let's begin with the topic of the day.
Everyday things that gives us the energy and
that we must have in our routine. Alright?
So the first thing that tops the list is sunlight.
Sun is the source of all kind
of energy in on this planet earth.
Every creature, every living being, every living
organism, whether it's plant, whether it is
animals, birds, everything will collapse in a
second if sun is not there.
So in a way, sun gives the
energy to each and everything, right?
Sun gives the energy to plants, and animals eat plants,
we eat plants and we also eat animals sometimes.
And animals also eat animals.
So more or less, basically every kind of energy comes
from sun in one way or the other, roughly speaking.
So sun is the source of all kind of energy.
So for us also, it is very, very true that
without sunlight we will not be able to survive.
And sunlight is a kind of a very, you know, you can
say that it's a different kind of source of energy for us.
There is a scientific backup as well.
But let's go back in time a
little bit and understand what ayurveda and
ancient Indians used to say about sunlight.
So we Indians worship sun as God because it is the
God that gives all of us the life and the energy.
So sun is a God for indian. Now.
Now, Ayurveda says that it drives all kind
of agni means fire on this planet, right?
So the fire which is inside us, the digestive
fire, the thoughts means fire element represents the every
kind of transformation that is happening everywhere on this
planet and also within our body.
So what kind of transformation
is happening within our body?
That is like when we eat food, it
gets converted into energy, it gets converted into
skin cells and different kind of cells of
our body, different organisms, organs like heart, liver
cells, skin cells, hair, nails and everything else.
So all these kind of transformation
is happening within our body.
And when we see something, when we hear
something, we take all kind of information and
we create some, you know, some knowledge out
of that information, out of those inputs.
So all that kind of transformation
is happening because of some fire.
And sun regulates the fire, this planet.
That's what Ayurveda believes.
In a rough sense, I am speaking broadly speaking.
Alright, so what is science says about,
modern science says about it that sunlight
helps us making our own vitamin D.
And vitamin D is something that, that's a
vitamin that is involved in so many processes
and also which is involved in the processes
which, which are related to metabolism.
And also the, it helps in releasing serotonin.
So it is something that provides energy and it
also pro, it also helps to regulate our mood.
Also neuroscience that science proves that
sunlight regulates our circadian, circadian rhythm.
So when it regulates our circadian rhythm, it is,
you know, providing us the wakefulness during the daytime
so that we can be more alert, more focused,
we can drive and, you know, we can focus
on our energy on some particular thing.
And that's why, that's how we can
feel more energetic and that's how we
can get more things done using sunlight.
And it's, it's also, sun also
helps us sleep better at night.
And let me give you a pro tip
here that it all happens when we are
exposed to sunlight during the morning hours.
Rest of the day also helps, but not
in a way that morning sunlight can.
Afternoon sunlight in many parts of the world,
it can be very, very harsh, right?
So morning sunlight is something that we
all should try to soak for.
So this is how sunlight works, okay?
And also, as I said, that it
helps us sleep better at night.
So when we are sleep, when we're sleeping better,
we are resting better, we are detoxing better, we
are regulating our many, many systems better.
And that also helps to have to feel more
energy and have more energy during the day.
So sunlight is something that tops the list
and because of all good reasons, right?
It gives you energy, it regulates your mood,
it makes you feel better, it makes you
feel happy, it helps regulate your mood and
it helps regulate your circadian rhythm.
It, it also, there are so many health
benefits as well in the long run. Alright?
So there are so many research paper that
has been published how sunlight can help heal
so many things in our body.
So all in all, in so many ways,
sunlight keeps us healthy and provides us more
and more energy and makes us feel happy.
So this is the number one thing that provides
us the energy beyond food and water, sunlight.
Second thing is no brainer, physical activity.
Now, few of you might say
that physical activity takes energy.
How does it give energy?
Yes, it takes energy and it also gives
the energy because it improves the blood circulation.
And when blood circulation improves, that delivers more
oxygen to the tissues and that delivers more
nutrients to the tissues and that results in
better mitochondrial functions and better ATP synthesis in
the cells, which means more energy.
Cells feels, cells feel more energy.
So it is like saying that we have
that reserve of energy, or you can say
the raw material for energy in our cells.
And when we do physical activity, that raw
material gets converted into actual energy, alright?
So we have that.
We have energy in our body, but to activate that, but
to feel that we need to do some physical activity also.
Physical activity stimulate the release
of endorphins, dopamine and serotonin.
So these are the neurotransmitter
that regulates our mood also.
And they also help, I mean, they also are
involved in feeling more alert and providing us engaging
in the functions that, that, that produces more energy.
So all in all, these physical activity help
us, you know, get, you know, get more,
get better blood circulation and delivers, delivering more
oxygen to the tissues in return.
Feeling more energetic, feeling
better, feeling happier.
So this is the second thing that
comes into the list, physical activity.
And before I go to the third thing in
this list that provides us more energy, I have
a special request to all of you.

This, that's the biggest help.
That's the biggest thing that I can ask from you.
Thank you so much for providing us the support so far.
Thank you.
And let's continue.
The third thing that is, that is in the list
that provides us the energy is social interaction, which means
we need to go out and mingle with people.
Now, it's a bad news for introverts, but it, let
me make it a little bit more simplified, that you
necessarily don't need to meet hundreds of people every day.
What I mean by social interaction is by, you
know, having few people in your circle with whom
you meet and greet on a regular basis. Right.
So why, why social interaction?
How it gives us the energy, because when we
interact socially, so we need to see one thing
that, that humans has, over time, evolved socially.
We have not been evolved individually a lot of
us may feel that we are introverted, we don't
like too much of crowd, but we cannot disregard
this, that we need few other human to function.
We need few more people with whom we
can, you know, spend our life with.
For some people it can be hundreds of them and
for some people it can be handful of them.
That's all right.
But we want a society, we want a group, we
want peers with whom we can, you know, celebrate, with
whom we can feel sad or share our things.
Happy or sad doesn't matter.
So that is why social interaction, this
is the part of our evolution.
That is how humans have been evolving over
the thousands of years or over lakhs of
years, you know, hundreds of thousands of years.
So how this social interaction gives us
the energy, so it, it stimulates the
release of oxytocin, dopamine and in endorphins.
So these are the neurotransmitters.
These are the things that helps you get more
energy, that, that regulates your mood, that motivates you.
So when these things motivate you, give you more
energy and regulate your mood, of course you will
feel happier, you will feel more focused, and you
will, you will feel more driven.
And of course this provides more energy to
you because these neurotransmitters are something that engages
in the activity, that produces more energy.
Also, on a psychological basis, this social interaction
provides emotional support and boost your mood.
Also, one of the primary feeling
of humans is to feel belonged.
To feel that we belong somewhere,
that we are important somewhere.
So this social interaction that, that, this invokes
that feeling of, you know, belonging, we feel
important in one, in our own group.
Important distinction here, that you need to interact with
people who makes you laugh, who makes you feel
motivated, where you feel that you belong.
It is Your group. It is.
These are Your peers, right? It is.
Needless to say, but it's common sense.
If you are, if you're going with the people
who are dragging you down, who are making you
feel meaningless, of course it will be counterproductive.
It will not give you energy.
It will suck your energy.
On the contrary. Right?
So if you, your social interaction should be
in a way that you feel better with
people with whom you feel better with.
With whom you feel motivated.
Driven, right?
So that should be your social group
that will provide you more energy.
Next thing is music.
We all know that, that music has
the power to change our state.
If somebody is feeling sad or somebody is feeling happy,
and if you will give him the music of the
others, other side or other state, it can invoke those
emotions, those feelings that can reverse what you are feeling.
So we can use and we can leverage
the power of music in our advantage.
You know, this upbeat music that
can activate some brain reasons that
are involved in reward processing, right?
So music can also stimulate the
release of dopamine and norepinephrine.
So these are the neurotransmitter that helps
you, you know, focus and concentrate.
Also they feel, make you feel
better, make you feel happy.
Alright, so music, all in all, we all
know that it has the power to invoke
emotions and it can shift modes and state.
Because I feel that with songs and with music, we often
relate some of the memories and music, although it is a,
it is audio thing, but it is very, very visual.
Whenever, whenever we hear any music, whenever we hear any
song, it creates so many memories in our brain, in
our mind, and somewhere we all connect our songs and
music with some or the other memory.
So when we hear those songs,
it can bring back those memory.
And so if we, if we hear songs that can
bring back the good kind of memory, so that can
make us feel driven, that can make us feel motivated
and that can make us feel more pumped up.
And also, as I said, the science
explains that it helps stimulate the release
of dopamine and, and, and norepinephrine.
So that gives you more energy, it can
help shift your mood and state as well.
So music has that power.
You can leverage the power of music.
And the last, and of course not the least, these are
the best thing that you can have in your daily routine.
It can give you more energy, it can make
you more happy, it can help you in being
more focused, it can help you being more successful,
it can help you feeling more healthy.
And being more healthy.
It can help you release the stress and anxiety
and so, so many benefits these things can provide.
And that's why I have kept the best for the last.
These things are deep
breathing, meditation and mindfulness.
These are something that will alleviate, alleviate
your, you know, elevate your sorry.
It will eliminate your stress, it will help you focus.
And deep breathing, as we know that, you know, it
will not only give you more oxygen and it will
deliver more nutrients, nutrients to your cell, but also it
will, will help you relax and feel calm.
And at any given moment in the day or
any time, whenever you are feeling stressed, you can
deep breathe and you can have a deep inhale,
the full inhale, and a longer and deeper exhale.
And that will instantly make you feel calm.
That's the power of deep breathing. Right?
And similarly, I mean, I cannot go on and explain
this, the benefits of deep breathing in just one episode.
I have talked about it earlier and
I'll keep on talking about it.
This is the favorite tool of my deep breathing.
It can help you relax, it can make you,
you know, eliminate the stress and manage your stress.
It can help you feel calm, it can give you
more energy, it can, you know, it can do so
many things, and so does meditation and so does mindfulness.
It will relax your mind, it will relax your body,
it can help you get rid of so many illnesses,
it can help get rid of so many problems in
your body, it can make you more healthy.
And of course in return, that
will also make you more energetic.
So these are the things, these are four
or five things that I have listed down.
These are the things that are not food or water, but
they give you the energy that you need to succeed, to
be more happy, to be more productive, to be stress free.
Right?
So hope you have enjoyed the topic of the day.
