5 Easy Steps to Improve Your Energy

Table of Contents

Energy is often spoken about as something we either have or don’t have. But energy is rarely random. It reflects how we’re living, how we’re feeling, and how supported our body and mind are on a daily basis.  Stress, poor sleep, emotional tension, overstimulation, dehydration, and lack of recovery can all quietly drain energy over time. On the other hand, small supportive habits can help restore steadiness, clarity, and flow.  May is a natural month to focus on energy. The days are longer, the season is brighter, and there’s often a gentle desire to feel lighter, clearer, and more aligned.  The good news is that improving your energy doesn’t need to involve dramatic change. Often, it begins with simple things done consistently.   
  1. Hydrate before stimulation
Many people begin the day already depleted, then reach straight for caffeine.  While coffee can have its place, starting with stimulation before hydration can sometimes increase feelings of jitteriness, crashes, or nervous system strain.  Try beginning the day with water or herbal tea first.  Hydration supports circulation, focus, digestion, and natural energy production. It also gives the body a gentler start before introducing stimulants.  Even this one shift can noticeably change how your mornings feel.   
  1. Move energy through the body
Low energy is not always caused by doing too much. Sometimes it comes from being physically still while mentally overloaded. When stress builds, energy can feel stuck in the body — tight shoulders, shallow breathing, restlessness, mental fatigue.  Gentle movement helps restore flow.  This doesn’t need to mean intense exercise. It can be: 
  • A short walk outside • Stretching for five minutes • Shaking out tension • Light mobility work • Dancing in the kitchen 
Movement helps the nervous system discharge stress and improves circulation, mood, and clarity.   
  1. Reduce what drains you
Sometimes improving energy is less about adding more, and more about removing what’s leaking it.  Common energy drains include: 
  • Constant notifications • Overcommitting • Cluttered environments • Saying yes when you mean no • Staying switched on all day • Spending no time alone to reset 
Not everything that drains you looks dramatic. Often, it’s the small daily friction points that add up most. Protecting energy is just as important as creating it.   
  1. Ground yourself regularly
When energy feels scattered, the body often needs grounding rather than motivation. Grounding helps bring awareness out of mental overwhelm and back into the present moment.  Simple grounding practices include: 
  • Standing barefoot on grass • Taking slow deep breaths • Stepping outside for fresh air • Feeling both feet on the floor • Naming five things you can see around you 
These moments help calm the nervous system and restore steadier energy.   
  1. Support your system consistently
Energy improves when the body feels supported, not pushed. Sleep, routine, nourishment, rest, emotional space, and nervous system balance all play a role.  For many people, CBD becomes part of that supportive rhythm. Rather than acting as stimulation, CBD is often valued for helping ease physical tension, support calm, and reduce the internal stress that can block clarity and drain energy.  When the body feels less braced, energy can move more freely. This is why many people choose to include CBD as part of a morning routine, evening reset, or consistent wellbeing practice.    Energy responds to how you live  Energy is communication.  It often tells you what needs more support, more balance, or more honesty.  Sometimes the answer is movement. Sometimes it’s rest. Sometimes it’s boundaries. Sometimes it’s slowing down.  The goal isn’t to be energised all the time.  It’s to create a life where energy can return more naturally.    May as a season of renewed energy  As nature becomes fuller and brighter, May can be a beautiful time to reconnect with your own rhythm.  Not through pressure. But through small supportive choices that help you feel clearer, steadier, and more like yourself again.    A gentle next step  Choose one of these five steps and begin there. Keep it simple. Keep it consistent.  And if supportive tools help you feel more balanced, CBD can be part of that — helping ease stress and support clearer daily energy.  Explore our cold-pressed CBD range, subscription options, or Hemper Boxes whenever it feels right for you — gently, and at your own pace.
