5 Ways Busy Entrepreneurs Can Boost Energy Naturally

Because caffeine and chaos aren’t the only way to power through your day.

As entrepreneurs, we’re constantly pulled in a million directions. Between meetings, deadlines, and endless decision-making, it’s easy to hit a wall mentally, physically, and emotionally. But what if your energy didn’t have to come from your fourth cup of coffee?

Here are 5 simple (and science-backed) ways to boost your energy naturally, so you can show up fully in your business and your life.

1. Check Your Vitamin Levels, and Do Something About It

Let’s be real: fatigue isn’t always just “being tired,” it’s often your body waving a red flag. Many busy women are walking around with undiagnosed deficiencies in Vitamin D, B12, magnesium, or iron, which all play a huge role in energy, focus, and mood.

Pro tip: Ask your provider for a full nutrient panel or stop by a trusted wellness center (like an IV hydration spa ) for tailored support. Once you know what you’re low in, supplements, food adjustments, or IV therapy can work wonders.

2. Soak Up Some Sun + Get Into Nature

It’s not just about "getting fresh air," exposure to natural light regulates your circadian rhythm, boosts Vitamin D, and helps reset your mood and metabolism. Spending even 15–20 minutes outdoors, especially in the morning, can significantly improve alertness and reduce stress.

Bonus points if you walk barefoot in the grass (hello, grounding!) or leave your phone inside while you take in the view.

3. Journal to Clear Mental Clutter

Mental exhaustion often drains us faster than physical activity. Starting your day with even 5 minutes of journaling can help you release stress, organize your thoughts, and set intentions, all of which protect your energy.

Try a simple morning prompt:

You’ll be surprised what your own words will tell you.

4. Wake Up Early, But Go to Bed Even Earlier

Sleep is the most underrated productivity hack in the game. Creating a consistent sleep schedule (yes, even on weekends) helps regulate hormones, improve cognitive function, and stabilize mood.

Try winding down with no screens 1 hour before bed, and aim for 7–9 hours of high-quality sleep. Then, give yourself a calm morning routine that doesn’t involve doom scrolling your inbox before sunrise.

5. Lift Heavy, Move Daily

Strength training 2 to 3 times a week increases energy levels by improving muscle function, balancing hormones, and even enhancing your metabolism. But don’t stop there, move your body daily, even if it's just a 10 minute walk between calls.

Think of movement as a reset button. It breaks up mental fatigue, improves circulation, and gives your brain a much-needed endorphin boost.

Need accountability? Schedule your workouts the way you schedule meetings, non-negotiable CEO time.

Final Thoughts

Entrepreneurship isn’t a sprint; it’s a series of marathons. If you want to lead, scale, and thrive for the long haul, you have to protect your most valuable asset: your energy.

Start with these small, consistent habits, and your body (and business) will thank you.
