    Gravitational Potential Energy, GPE = mgh

    Where m is your mass in kg, g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², and h is the height in m.

    The only value that be controlled here is the height h. The mass is constant, and acceleration due to gravity at that place is constant.

    But h can be varied.

    Hence to increase the gravitational potential energy between yourself and Earth is to increase the height h.

    This can be done by climbing up a table, or climbing up a building through the stairs, or by using a lift.
