Simple Trick to Boost Energy and Decrease Anxiety
The Amplified Impact Podcast
October 12th, 2023
Here’s my super simple trick that I use to decrease my anxiety and increase my energy.
Walking. Yup, it’s that simple.
I came across a fascinating study that showed a direct correlation between daily activity and our mental well-being. Taking just 5,650 steps in a day can boost your mood, increase your energy levels, and improve your overall life satisfaction. But here’s the kicker: the average American only takes about 4,774 steps a day, falling short of this energizing threshold.
So, make walking a priority, hit your step goal, and watch your energy go up and your anxiety go down.

Anthony Vicino:
What’s going on, everybody? I just want to let you know real quick that the Hyper Focus Masterclass is officially live. We put a ton of time and energy into this project, and based on all the positive feedback so far that we’ve received from students, it’s pretty awesome. Seriously, we’re really psyched on how it all turned out. If you’re interested in learning all the habits, rituals, routines, systems, processes, frameworks and more that help me turn my ADHD into a superpower to get out of Massive and build a $70 million real estate portfolio over the past ten years, then you’re definitely going to want to head over to beyond theapex.com Hyper Focus.
Anthony Vicino:
And check it out.
Anthony Vicino:
All right, let’s get to the show.
Anthony Vicino:
Yo, if you’re listening to this right now and you’re starting to drag ass, you’re feeling low energy. You’re getting a little bit of that brain fog, and you thought, hey, I’ll just pop on the podcast, go for a walk, and kind of clear my mind and all this stuff. Or maybe you’re driving to work, maybe.
Anthony Vicino:
You’Re on the treadmill.
Anthony Vicino:
Whatever it is, wherever you are right now, as you’re listening to this, whether you’re feeling low energy at this moment or it’s in the future for you, because here’s the truth, we’re all going to feel low energy at some point. Here is a simple hack. Here’s a simple trick that you can use to boost your overall energy and your overall life satisfaction.
Anthony Vicino:
This is really interesting.
Anthony Vicino:
I found a study a while back I think they were studying. I think it was a study conducted in Sweden, and they were trying to find the correlation between mood and feelings of well being and correlating it with daily activity and movement. Specifically, what they were tracking was how many steps people take in a day. And what they found was that people who take fewer than 5649 steps in a day had increased levels of anxiety, depression, decreased life satisfaction, and lower energy. So they found that this is really interesting, right? I believe that energy creates energy, and that’s not technically true, but it’s in the trajectory of truth, and it’s useful as an operating principle.
Anthony Vicino:
And so I like to think about.
Anthony Vicino:
This whenever I’m feeling low energy. It’s probably not that I need to go take a nap, though. Sometimes it is it’s not that I need to sit down and shut off. It’s actually I need to get up and get moving. Because as Isaac Newton says, an object in motion stays in motion. An object in rest stays at rest. And this study that’s so interesting to me is that just by walking 5650 steps in a day, you can boost all sorts of things that lead to.
Anthony Vicino:
What we consider to be a good.
Anthony Vicino:
Life, like feelings of life satisfaction, good feelings, happiness, and enjoyment. Like, who wants to feel anxiety and depression? Now, here’s the sad thing about this study. 5650 steps in a day is actually not that many steps. Very doable for all of us. If we just get up off the desk and we move a little bit more, we’d be concerted with this effort. The problem though is the average American only gets 4774 steps. So almost 1000 steps less than this threshold. Moral of the story is like the easiest, quickest, simplest way to boost your mood, boost your energy levels and just overall feel better is to get up and walk more.
Anthony Vicino:
It’s so freaking simple. And I find a strong connection when I’m getting to my afternoon doldrums, which usually happens around two to three. That’s after I’ve eaten, getting exhausted. I’ve been working in the morning on more creative endeavors and then the afternoons are a little bit more administrative or managerial. I start to find myself lagging in the two to 04:00 window and so during that time I get up and I go walking. Mostly I just shut down, I put on my headphones, maybe listen to a podcast, I just go for a really long walk and that energizes me. It makes me feel a lot better and it just overall helps me get the number of steps that I’m aiming for in a day, which is usually around 10,000. So little trip trick, little hack.
Anthony Vicino:
This study I found, it was just so interesting to me because such an easy way to have profound positive impacts on your life and your outcomes. So go prioritize walking more. What was the number? 5650 steps in a day. That’s your target. Go get it. Don’t light up, don’t go to bed until you hit that number. Stay up as long as it takes. And I’m just kidding, don’t sacrifice your sleep for steps.
Anthony Vicino:
Balance the two, find the balance, find the equilibrium. But that’s going to do it for me guys, I appreciate you being here as always. We’ll catch you in the next episode. Stay hyper focused my friends.
Anthony Vicino:
Hey guys, I love, love, love that.
