Introduction

Every Keyboard Athlete I know wants the same thing:

To be able to get up every day and do what they love – and feel good doing it.

Sadly, most Keyboard Athletes have either given up on the idea that they can feel

great again or assume that they need to spend hours per week in the gym doing

things they hate to get results.

Over the years we’ve been sold a bill of goods about our health that simply isn’t

true. We’ve come to accept that we’re going to need glasses

once we turn 40, that because a disease “runs in the family” that we’ll develop it as well,

and that “we just can’t move like we used to when we were younger.”

I have some awesome news for you – absolutely none of that is true.

You see, our bodies are hard-wired with a survival instinct. And if we can’t see, are sick,

and can’t move, that doesn’t bode terribly well for survival, now does it? Our bodies

have this amazing healing capacity that outrivals even the most sophisticated

technology — if we can just give it the space it needs to do its thing and a nudge in the

right direction.

And the best part?

The vast, vast, vast majority of changes – the ones that will make a real difference – take

only minutes a day and will pay you back in productive hours and years.

“The doctor of the future

will give no medicine but will

interest his patients in the

care of the human frame,

in diet, and in the cause and

prevention of disease.” —Thomas Edison


That’s my kind of ROI.

And, I’m living proof that it works. In the summer of

2010 I used the Energy Bank framework that I’m going

to lay out on the following pages to prepare for my

summit of Kilimanjaro that fall. You didn’t ever find me

running stairs with a 35 pound pack – instead I cherry-

picked the couple of things I knew were going to

provide me with the greatest benefit and focused my time there. And, it worked

great. I summited with ease, was never sore, and enjoyed every minute of the

adventure. I’ll tell you more about how I did it at the end of this guide.

The Energy Bank?Our body’s energy stores work a bit like a bank account. You start each day with your daily balance — the

amount of energy you can draw upon to get through the day. From the moment we get out of bed until the

moment we go to sleep we are depositing and withdrawing – but mostly withdrawing – from our energy bank.

As with a real bank, the end game is to raise your average daily balance to the point where you have a

comfortable lifestyle. And, when you do that you:

1. Have more energy at the end of the day to spend time with friends and family.

2. Have the energy reserves you need to deal with the curveballs life throws at you to avoid physical

bankruptcy.

This guide will help you find the one or two small changes you can make to raise your average

daily balance. I’m giving you a lot of options to choose from not because you need to do them

all, but because there are virtually unlimited options for increasing your energy bank balance,

and I want you to find the few options that work that best for you.

At this point I usually get asked, “but shouldn’t the goal be to make my daily average balance

as high as possible?”

Sure, if that’s important to you. But, most people can get away with changing just a few things

and they will start feeling a whole lot better. From there, everything else is a bonus.

We’re all busy, so pick the few that you need, leave the rest, and get on with your life.

Energy Deposits

Deposits are the things we do to take care of ourself – they revitalize, give energy, and provide endurance. They sustain us.

Making daily deposits not only positions you better for that day, but are also a long-term investment strategy in yourself, your family, and your future.

The awesome thing about the Energy Bank is that it’s currency-agnostic – it accepts deposits of any type, and they all increase your balance. Some will be valued more highly by your body based upon what it needs, but a deposit is a deposit – and it’s always going to be a net positive.

Later on in this guide I’ll get very specific about the deposits I have found to be the most valuable for Keyboard Athletes and make recommendations on where to start increasing your balance.

Examples of Energy Deposits

➔ Adequate sleep

➔ Pain-free movement and mobility

➔ Moderate exercise

➔ Proper breathing

➔ Eyes working well

➔ Good mood

➔ Positive social interaction

➔ Eating the right foods for you

➔ Downtime and recovery periods

7

Deposits revitalize us,

give us energy, and

provide endurance.


Energy Withdrawals

Much like a real checking account, energy bank withdrawals are relatively constant, inevitable, and every once in a while we get socked with something we didn’t see coming. And, if we don’t have a particularly high average daily balance to start, we start getting a bit anxious, protective, and dare I say it, crabby, as that balance dwindles down towards zero. We really start looking forward to that next large deposit.

You will invariably notice that Energy Bank withdrawals are, for the most part, the opposite of Energy Bank deposits. It’s because they really are two sides of the same coin. As you go into the next section you’ll notice that we are going to focus on creating additional and larger deposits

because it’s easier to tell you what to do than tell you what not to do.

Examples of Energy Withdrawals

➔ Living with chronic pain

➔ Shorting yourself on sleep

➔ Lack of exercise

➔ Too much exercise

➔ Poor breathing habits

➔ Too much time staring at the computer screen (or any fixed distance)

➔ High stress levels

➔ Yelling/anxiety/anger

➔ Eating the wrong foods for you

➔ Extended social isolation

➔ No downtime or recovery

8

Withdrawals are, for the

most part, the opposite of

deposits. They are two sides

of the same coin.


Physical Bankruptcy

Like your financial bank account, your Energy Bank can also go bankrupt. Physical bankruptcy, adrenal fatigue, burnout – it’s all the same thing. You’ve spent too long hovering near a zero balance, and something happened to push you over the proverbial ledge.

At this point you have overdone it and need to file a bodywide Chapter 11 (or take a time out, as I like to call it). As with financial bankruptcy, you come back from physical bankruptcy by limiting your withdrawals and increasing your deposits.

Recovery can and is a slow process, but you only fail when you give up. When and if you hit this point, you can expect it to be months before you start running a positive balance on a regular basis again.

Signs of Physical Bankruptcy

➔ Unrefreshing sleep

➔ Extended periods of illness

➔ Chronic pain/headaches

➔ Chronic stomach upset or GI issues

➔ Temper/response disproportionate to what is going on

➔ Constant feelings of anxiety

➔ Extended periods of “brain fog”

➔ General lack of energy of interest

Find Your Highest-Yielding DepositsIn this section we are going to take advantage of your own instincts to help you

find the vital few lifestyle changes that will increase your energy bank balance in

minutes a day.

I cover a lot of territory here, but please don’t let that scare you. I’m giving you lots

of options not to overwhelm you, but rather because I’m passionate about helping

you realize you always have options.

As we dive in to the nitty gritty, here is what I want you to do:

1. Settle into a comfortable chair and take your time reading this.

2. As you read, listen to your gut about what deposit activities resonate with

you. Write them down. This is where you are going to start.

3. Don’t worry about finding the time or wonder how you are going to do this

until the end – we’ll discuss implementation specifics then.

10

If you take nothing else

out of this guide, please

let it be this:

You have control over

your health and how you

feel. There are hundreds

of small, simple choices

that you can make every

day that will positively

impact your health —

and need only take

minutes a day.


Vision

Vision practice is a high-yield deposit activity for every Keyboard Athlete.

As a Keyboard Athlete you stare at a rectangle a few feet away from you for far more hours in a week than you probably want to add up. And that takes a toll. Just like farmers have a higher-than-usual incidence of farsightedness from spending their days in the field, Keyboard Athletes are notoriously nearsighted.

By not moving your eyes more often, you are allowing the six extraocular muscles that control your eye movements to get out of shape. And, your can eyes suffer from the same “use it or lose it” syndrome as the rest of the body. With disuse you lose depth perception and spatial relationships, the ability to track movement, and become more prone to visual fatigue. Basically, you become less able to take in and react to the environment around you — making everything from climbing stairs to driving a car less safe.

And, it’s completely reversible. In one recent study, two one-hour sessions restored the vision of visually-impaired elderly to that of college-age students for up to three months.

Your Deposit Activity? Regular Visual Hygiene. Current best practices suggest taking a visual break from the screen every 15 minutes to reset your eyes. Even 30 seconds of eye movements up, down, left, right, near and far every hour or so will produce significant changes.

Pro Tip: Set a timer on your computer or phone so you don’t forget until the habit is established.

Breathing

Unless you specifically practice “belly breathing,” odds are breathing is going to be a high-yield activity for you. Most Keyboard Athletes that I know — as a result of stress, gut issues, and injury history — have a habit of upper chest breathing. If you are one of those people that has to stop and

take a deep breath while having a conversation, you can almost be guaranteed to have breathing issues.

When you restrict your breathing to your upper chest you aren’t able to take a full breath, so your oxygen/carbon dioxide ratios end up out of balance — leading to a wide variety of symptoms including anxiety, frequent sighing and yawning, fatigue, headaches, nausea, dizziness, and insomnia. Plus, you end up using your breathing helper muscles, not the primary muscles involved in respiration, putting unnecessary strain (read: energy withdrawals) on your body.

Your Deposit Activity? Breathing Practice. A couple times a day take a couple of minutes to work on full belly breathing. Nice and slow, in for a count of 2 and out for 6-8.

Pro Tip: Stopping to breathe is a great stressbuster and can instantly reduce anxiety.

Regular Movement

Not to be confused with exercise, what I mean by regular movement is getting up from your desk periodically just to move. Studies indicate that people with sitting jobs have twice the rate of cardiovascular disease as people with standing jobs since when we sit too long our bodies effectively shut down. Sitting makes us more prone to everything from cardiovascular disease to diabetes.

Your Deposit Activity? Get up and move. Can you take a phone call standing up? Can you put your laptop on the counter for an hour? Walk to a co-workers office/cube instead of sending an email. When you walk to lunch, take the long way back.

13


Sleep

Lack of sleep has been indicted in everything from obesity to poor memory to poor reflexes to poor decision-making. For a chronically sleep-deprived, caffeine-fueled society that appears to live on the mantra, “I’ll sleep when I’m dead” this indictment does not bode well.

Adjusting sleep schedules is probably THE toughest change for Keyboard Athletes to wrap their heads around. Seriously, how does one get more done if they have fewer waking hours in a day?

Imagine this scenario: You are on a deadline for a proposal, book draft, requirements document – whatever the deliverables are in your industry. It’s late, you’re tired, but it HAS to get done. You grab a cup of coffee and push on. You fall into bed exhausted at 2am, telling yourself you’ll proof it in the morning before emailing it off. You get up in the morning, running on 5 hours of sleep, open up that document, and within a minute you start alternating between wondering who the gremlins were that wrote this complete garbage in your document while you were sleeping and cursing yourself because you KNEW you should have gone to bed. So, now you have to – in a completely sleep-deprived state – redo your work.

I mean, not that that has ever happened to me. That was a strictly hypothetical example. :-)

In this case, the smarter choice for “Jean” might have been to stop earlier, get a good night’s sleep, and finish up the masterpiece with a set of fresh and well-rested eyes. I, uh “Jean”, would have invariably been spared from hours of work and days of fatigue.

I know that example was long, but I know how much of a struggle this concept is for virtually everyone. Most people (and by most, I mean you) assume they do better sleep-deprived than they actually do.

Your Deposit Activity? Start getting a good night’s sleep. Start small by getting off your electronic devices 30 minutes before lights out – that will help you fall asleep faster. Studies indicate 6-9 hours per night significantly increases quality of life. You know you are getting enough sleep when you can either wake without an alarm or wake with an alarm and feel rested.

Attitude/Mood

You know those days where you wake up on the proverbial wrong side of the bed, you curse at the coffeepot, drive aggressively to work, and snap at strangers for no particularly good reason?

Those kind of days are ginormous Energy Withdrawal days. They sap you of energy, you don’t do your best work, and you are fatigued at the end it. You may as well be flushing money down the drain.

Your Deposit Activity? Snap yourself out of it by doing any other deposit activity from this guide (I find breathing, movement, and play particularly helpful). If you have a partner or friend that can gently let you know that you are having one of those days, that will help. As silly as it may sound, establishing a safe word or phrase for them to let you know when you’ve gone off the deep end is immensely helpful.

15


Play

Playful activities are guaranteed to make deposits into your Energy Bank.

Play is super-valuable for all Keyboard Athletes. Not only does play encourage creativity, improve social relationships, and enhance problem-solving, but it is also a great way to blow off steam and reset. Much like regular movement, the kinesthetic qualities of play enhance memory and learning. On the sad converse side of things, a lack of play has been associated with depression and inability to cope with life stress.

Your Deposit Activity? Incorporate daily play time into your day. I’m not talking about hanging on a jungle gym (although you can if you want), but play can be anything from playing a game, to working on a puzzle, building toy models, storytelling, juggling, or making music. It’s your activity, so make it fun for you!

16

“The opposite of play is not

work, it is depression.” —Brian Sutton-Smith


Exercise

Ah, the dreaded “e” word. While it may invoke painful memories of high school gym class or hours slogging it out on the treadmill, that isn’t what I mean at all. Exercise that you dread and hate isn’t going to result in a net positive for the Energy Bank – which defeats the whole purpose of exercise.

I’m in the camp that exercise should be fun, challenging, goal-oriented, and — dare I say it — something you look forward to. You might even make the mental leap that I consider the most beneficial exercise to have playful qualities.

Your Deposit Activity? Add a small bit of physical activity to your week – surely you had something you used to love to do. And, if you came out of the womb having two left feet and no athletic skill all is not lost. Exercise, like everything else we do, is a skill – which means it can be learned. It’s never too late to create your Fun Physical Universe.

Eat the Right Foods for You

One of the big health myths I think is being perpetrated on the American public is that food is just fuel, we don’t need to consider anything more than calories in/calories out, and that our food choices only impact our waistline. I’m not buying it.

If you have regular brain fog, a generalized feeling of being “off,” or have any chronic health condition, looking at your diet is going to be a high-yield deposit for you. And, if you have a spare tire you’d like to get rid of, you definitely need to be paying attention here.

While calories matter, most science is beginning to indicate that if you are eating the right foods for you then your body will self-regulate regarding calories. And when I talk about eating right foods and wrong foods, it’s not “salad is good and ice cream is bad” or “unless I go into anaphylactic shock I must not have an intolerance to it.” It’s much more subtle than that – almost always.

Instead when you have a food intolerance you eat something that seems to sit well, but in fact your body can’t properly digest it, which leads and contributes to systemic inflammation, which leads to disease. Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, depression, ADHD, Parkinson’s — you name it and it’s been tied to diet. After all, Hippocrates didn’t say, “some disease begins in the gut.”

Hence the general “something isn’t right” feeling that comes with food intolerances. And, medical testing is not yet to the point where they can reliably find food allergies and intolerances, so individual trial-and-error is the best we have. Is trial-and-error perfect? No. Do I care? Not if you feel better.

Your Deposit Activity? An elimination diet test. For 30 days give up one of the top food allergens (wheat, soy, peanuts, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, and tree nuts) and see how you feel. If you feel better at the end of 30 days, then you get to decide if you want to reintroduce it to your diet or not.

Test only one food at a time, rotating through them, because if you give up multiple foods and DO feel better you’ll never know for sure which food is the culprit.

Community and Support

Even the biggest introvert is social, wants to be liked, and wants to be like those they surround themselves with. The need for community is hard-wired into us – back when we were still clubbing saber-tooth tigers being part of a community was your best bet for survival. And today it still is.

You already know that being part of a community is good for you, in that nebulous “eating your veggies is good for you” sort of way. And you are

probably already involved in numerous social groups – whether it’s a networking group, book club, dinner club, a group of college friends, or business mastermind.

Your community helps determine how successful you are at achieving your goals, influences your weight, helps you handle problems and emotional issues, improves your health, and causes you to live longer. The key, of course, is to pick the right communities.

Your Deposit Activity? Evaluate the communities you spend time in? Are they Debbie Downers or not adding value? Dump them. Feel like there is a hole somewhere in your life? Use your google-fu to find that community. With the advent of the internet, we have more community and support options than ever before. Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Meetup.com, LinkedIn, forums, and membership sites facilitate online and in-person communities for virtually every medical condition, lifestyle choice, career, or interest known to mankind.

community is hard-

wired into us.


Get Out of Pain

If you or a loved one suffer from any sort of chronic pain then I don’t need to tell you what a huge energy withdrawal it is. You have likely lost hours and days from work due to it — if not months or years. Given that the American economy loses $100 billion (yes, with a “b”) annually due to chronic pain, and one in four sick days is pain-related, you’ve been affected by chronic pain – either directly or indirectly.

Getting out of pain is also a sure-fire way to go from the verge of Physical Bankruptcy to being in the black.

But I can’t tell you how many Keyboard Athletes I’ve met with chronic pain that have just come to accept it as a part of life. They have accepted that they are going to spend the rest of their life on the edge of Physical Bankruptcy — and that acceptance of defeat is really hard for me. Because here is the secret about pain: it’s not real. It lives in your brain.

After all, when you get a headache, it’s not that someone hit you upside the head with a baseball bat (at least most of the time). It’s a signal from your body to you brain that something is wrong, and you need to pay attention. And when you pay attention, and give it the right information, the pain can disappear — instantly. I’ve seen it happen hundreds of times.

Your Deposit Activity? Shift your mindset to believe that pain is not permanent and is not real. Then, start applying the principles from this guide to increase your Energy Bank balance — sometimes that’s all it takes.

Making a ChangeCongratulations, you’ve made it this far. I know that was a lot, but now you should now have

a lot of great ideas to increase your Energy Bank balance and an idea (or five) of what your

high-payoffs are.

As I said in the beginning, I want you to just pick one habit to start with. Because now is

when the resistance creeps in – even the most well-intentioned Keyboard Athlete runs into

trouble once they encounter real life.

They say it takes 30 days to create a habit, and while they (whoever “they” is) may be right, an awful lot can

go wrong in 30 days to derail you. For me, the trick is to make a change that is small enough and easy

enough that you almost have to try to fail.

The keys to success:

➔ Change just one habit at a time

➔ Make extremely small, incremental changes

➔ Be patient, Rome wasn’t built in a day – nor are your Energy Bank reserves

➔ Take advantage of your communities of support

Climbing KilimanjaroI said at the beginning of this guide that I used the Energy Bank framework to build out my training program

for Kilimanjaro. I realize that may have sounded a bit far-fetched at the beginning, but hopefully it started to

make some sense as you read the preceding pages. Regardless, I’m going to leave you with a real-world

example.

Researched Kilimanjaro

When I signed up for the climb I knew nothing about high altitude training, hadn’t camped in over 20 years, was a sporadic hiker at best, and had never done a multi-day climb before – so once I got past the “are you sure this is a good idea?” phase, I knew that getting ready for this trip was going to take some research, time, and preparation.

So, not only was I about to attempt something I had zero pre-existing skills for, but my training program at the time was maybe a couple hours per week of fairly low intensity work – after all I’m a Keyboard Athlete with a long history of asthma and other health problems. This meant that climbing Kilimanjaro was far outside my comfort zone and again begged the question, “are you sure this is a good idea?”

But, for reasons that I still struggle to articulate, I was committed. And I knew that I was going to need a smart training program if I was going to pull this off. I’m also all about efficiency, so why spend hours and hours running stairs with a pack on my back if I don’t need to?

My research quickly led me to discover that the primary reason people don’t make the Kilimanjaro summit is because they succumb to hypoxia (altitude sickness). With the summit at 19,340 feet, where there is about half of the oxygen there is at sea level, altitude sickness

22

zone and begged the

concept and that I knew my

body and what it needed.




affects virtually everyone to some degree. Since it’s not a technical climb (no ropes, etc), the whole trip was going to be more about slogging out the 60 miles, going 9 days without a shower, and not developing altitude sickness more than anything else.

Developed My Plan

I already knew that I had breathing issues, and since hypoxia is about lack of oxygen at altitude, I made the leap that breath training would be a super-important part of my training program. I went under the assumption that if I could be ultra-efficient, have good breathing mechanics, and maximize my oxygen intake at sea level, that there would be carryover on Kilimanjaro.

The second thing I knew about myself is that, like most Keyboard Athletes, my eyes aren’t what they could be. And, if I was going to be spending up to 9 hours a day walking trails, up and down rocks and over tree roots, having good depth perception and being confident about my foot landings was going to really minimize the Energy Withdrawals on the trail. The less energy my body had to expend worrying about depth perception and spatial issues, the easier each days climb was going to be.

Beyond that, I knew I just needed some basic conditioning work and needed to train enough to put myself in an oxygen-deficient state to do some advanced vision and breath training so I’d be training in conditions that would more closely mimic the conditions I would encounter on Kilimanjaro. So, in addition to my vision and and breathing practice, I did 6 long training hikes and some sprint work, but that was about it. Otherwise, I trusted the Energy

Bank concept and that I knew my body and what it needed.

23

“Luck favors the

prepared.” —Louis Pasteur


How Well Did It Work?

Kilimanjaro was a piece of cake. No, really.

I was the only person from my climbing group to summit, didn’t have any headaches or other symptoms of altitude sickness, and felt great the entire time. I would actually come into camp most nights with tons of extra energy to burn. The guides were surprised at how well I adapted, and even offered me a job with them because I took to the climb so well.

Was it skill or luck? Probably a bit of both. All I know is that I did something that thousands, including elite athletes like Martina Navratilova, cannot and dozens more die attempting every year. I appreciate the amazing team from Tusker Trails that I climbed with and my heart goes out to the two people who died on the mountain while I was there.

Your Next StepsThe last thing I want is for you to now set this down and say, “gee, that was interesting” and move on with

your life. The learning is easy, the doing is hard – but as with business the reward comes from doing the work.

I have two requests of you:

➔ Make a Change. The process on page 21 will get you started. But, you can jumpstart the process with specifics

around breathing, vision, sleep quality, and other high-payoffs in my free 5-part course at keyboardathletes.com/ecourse.

➔ Share this Guide. If you know someone who you think could benefit from the concept of the Energy Bank and the ideas

within it, please pass this guide along. http://keyboardathletes.com/yourenergybank/

I want to thank you for giving this guide the gift of your time, and I hope it was valuable to you. I'd love to hear from you how it's working for you.
