Ben Alexander

I’m a former professional rugby player for the Wallabies and ACT Brumbies, co-owner of The Dock, and co-founder of Running for Resilience.

But most importantly, I’m a dad of 3 navigating life after sport by focusing on energy management and mental well-being.

I write about energy because I’ve spent my life battling anxiety, ADHD, and depression, which I’ve come to understand are the result of low energy. Now that I’ve learned how to manage and recharge my energy, those issues have gone away, and I’m committed to helping others do the same and overcome their own personal energy crisis.

🔋 What is energy?

I think “energy” is another word for “feeling good” and how we should measure our well-being. And our well-being is a reflection of the state of our nervous system, cells, and the neurochemcials inside our bodies and brains. I use think our energy was just the food we use for fuel. But learned it’s more than that, and connection, purpose and managing stress all contribute to feeling great.

✏️ What to expect:

Each Thursday, I’ll share a post about something that’s boosting my energy or something stressful that’s draining it. And my goal is to help people understand how energy impacts everything we do, and how to manage it better.

If you’d like to chat, feel free to email me at hello@benalexandertalks.com or reply to any post.

Cheers,
Ben
