CEO of Everest Business Funding, Scott Crockett, Discusses How to Increase Energy and Motivation

Every individual who has achieved their goals knows that it takes a lot of motivation to succeed. As entrepreneur Scott Crockett of Everest Business Funding explains, it can be challenging for people to maintain their passion.
Unfortunately, this is one of the main drivers of prolonged success. So, how can you increase your energy so you can maintain your passion and motivation to achieve consistent success?
Here are some ways that you can increase your enthusiasm and the driving force behind your potential success.
Move
When you remain stagnant, it can be easy for your energy to drop, and you can lose motivation as the day progresses. A great way to combat that is to move around.
Physical activity stimulates your body and increases your energy. Standing up from your seat and walking around will give you a jolt of energy. You don’t need to engage in full-body, intense cardio activities, but make sure you set aside 15 minutes or so of this activity to increase your energy properly.
Get Outside
Another effective way to increase your energy and motivation is to get outside. We spend so much time indoors when we’re working — some of us without being able to look through a window to the outside world. This can result in a decrease in energy and a lack of motivation.
A surprisingly quick, easy, and effective way to increase your energy is to get outside. If the weather is nice, take your lunch break outside. Or, go for a walk to get some coffee if you can.
Taking even a few minutes to remove yourself from your indoor work environment to get outside will reinvigorate your senses.Encourage Yourself
A lot of our motivation comes from within. When we have positive thoughts, we are more likely to work in a positive manner. People often experience low energy levels when they have negative thoughts.
A great way to increase your energy is to encourage yourself. Stay positive as often as you can. When something has you down, focus on the positives of the situation; taking a half-glass-full approach will help you stay motivated throughout the day.
Celebrate Your ‘Wins’
Positive reinforcement is a great way to keep you motivated to accomplish even more. As Scott Crockett explains, this is something you can do on your own.
By setting small goals throughout your day, you’ll be ensuring that you are accomplishing something tangible and measurable. That will help keep you motivated.
Then, when you celebrate these accomplishments, you’ll be increasing your energy level as well. You don’t need to create an intricate and extravagant reward system for each achievement. But, even creating a simple reward for yourself when you knock something off your To-Do List will keep you focused on the tasks you need to accomplish and give you the energy and motivation to consistently do so throughout your day.

Gordon Ramsay and his fitness routine as a celebrity chef

A chef is usually pictured as being overweight, due to the nature of the job. Having to constantly taste food to understand it, can’t be good for your health. But with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, it doesn’t show at all. This thanks to a fitness routine and healthy diet. Ramsay lost an incredible 50lbs, and he looks better than ever. His routine consists more of endurance training rather than lifting heavy weights, and he routinely trains with cycling when he’s travelling. If he’s not travelling, he makes sure to get his workouts in at his home gym (working out with Will Usher, former army captain and member of the Royal Protection Squad!).
“The more I train, the more normal I am, the more I feel that I’m still unchanged” said Ramsay in regards to his diet and training routine, which he believes keeps him feeling young and healthy.
Moreover, Gordon came out with a new cookbook called “Gordon Ramsay’s Ultimate Food: Mouth-Watering Recipes to Fuel You for Life”, which is full of healthy meals for the fitness enthusiast.
Gordon doesn’t follow a specific diet or have a dietician, but he swears by certain rules for his eating habits. One of these is cutting down on dairy, which he believes makes you feel sluggish. Almond milk is his replacement, which mixes in with a smoothie consisting of berries yoghurt. He also believes in drinking a couple glasses of water before you eat a meal, which he says doesn’t fill you up but it does stop you from eating excessively.
It’s plain to see that Gordon Ramsay is in great shape, and it is evident in his body even at his age of 53. It is important to take care of your health, even if you are a celebrity chef who can create delicious meals at any time.

Daily habits of Mark Wahlberg to use in your own life

Mark Wahlberg is commonly on the big screens, and is obviously a healthy and fit guy just by looking at him. So it comes as no surprise that he has a rigorous daily routine and habits that keep him scheduled, disciplined and in shape.
It also helps him deal with his busy lifestyle as a movie star, producer and model.
Here are some of the daily habits Mark Wahlberg has that you could use to benefit your own life.
Early morning workouts
It’s obvious that Mark Wahlberg works out, but how about a 5am workout?
Wahlberg rises early at 4am to start his day with a scheduled breakfast, then a 5am workout. After training intensely at the gym, he’s drinking a shake at 6:30, then dropping the kids to school at 7:30 and eating at the same time. He says by 9am, he’s been to church and eaten again.
Discipline is everything
This isn’t surprising either, considering how disciplined he would have to be to continue his above schedule every morning. For Wahlberg, the discipline in his fitness, career and faith is how he keeps his life together. He continually strives for more and more, and he believes since he started acting he is much more disciplined, in contrast to when he was doing music.
He is always hustling
Wahlberg is always working towards the next big thing, and following his mantra of hustle harder. This started from his past when he was hustling in the music industry, to going in front of the camera and hustling within the movie industry where he enjoys his success of today.
Mark Wahlberg is a very disciplined person who follows habits almost religiously to do with fitness, faith and career. He believes it’s this discipline and drive that has made and kept him successful.

Christian Bale’s physical transformations for movies – from skinny to huge

Christian Bale is responsible for some of the most drastic physical transformations shown on the big screen. From very skinny in “The Machinist” to huge playing The Batman in “The Dark Knight”, Bale’s physicality range knows no bounds. A dedicated actor in his art, Bale commits all the way for his roles and continuously delivers in both his on screen performance as well as his on screen appearance.
These are some of Christian Bale’s physical transformations on the big screen.
The Machinist
Four months prior to the production of “The Machinist”, Bale started to lose weight for this role. Starting at 180 pounds, Bale dropped an unbelievable 60 pounds to look extremely skinny. His diet during this time included one coffee, an apple and water. He also chain smoked cigarettes and drank whiskey to further lose weight. His dedication is revealed on the screen, with Bale looking scraggly and dangerously skinny.
Batman Begins/The Dark Knight
Bale put on 100 pounds for his role as The Batman, doing so in an unbelievable 6 months from his end of role in “The Machinist”. He used a typical workout body part split to focus on different muscle groups on different days. The effect is noticeable, The Batman looking large and intimidating on screen.
American Hustle
This role required Bale to pack on the weight again, but this time not through working out. He ate cheeseburgers, donuts and whatever else he could get his hands on for two months in order to get to 200 pounds, and visibly fatter. The effect is obvious on screen, with Bale sporting a belly and obviously looking much rounder when compared to “The Dark Knight”.
Christian Bale is a master of physical transformations, and he commits to his roles. From ridiculously skinny, to ripped and muscled, to fat and overweight, Bale can and will do it for a worthwhile movie role.
