Course: LEVEL UP YOUR DAY - HOW TO MAXIMIZE THE 6 ESSENTIAL AREAS OF YOUR DAILY ROUTINE

Goal: 4 Steps to Maximize Your Sleep and Energy Levels

Timing:When you feel tired

Description:

Make a list of a few things you can do to increase your energy throughout the day.

Strategy #1: Take regular breaks.

One of the best ways to renew your energy is to take regular breaks. The key here is to do this throughout the day instead of going on one long break— like most people do during lunch.

Strategy #2: Try naps.

 Naps are a great thing to work into your daily routine. If you tend to run out of steam after lunch, a quick afternoon nap may be just what you need to get more done in the second half of your workday.

Strategy #3: Take quick steps to create more energy.

Creating energy isn’t just a matter of taking breaks throughout the day. There are a number of ways you can create energy without resorting to caffeine. Some of these might seem unusual, but all of them can make you feel invigorated when your energy levels are depleted.

  • Listen to an energizing song.
  • Change socks during the day. It sounds weird, but sometimes just changing your footwear can help you feel fresh and revived.
  • Eat more soluble fiber.
  • Have a healthy, low-carb snack. Too much food will make you more tired, but a small portion of a healthy snack will give you a nice boost.
  • Wash your face with lavender soap..
  • Stand up, stretch and breathe. Sometimes a quick stretch when you’re tired is all it takes to get a nice burst of energy.
  • Dress sharply for work. If you wear a really nice suit or dress that makes you look fantastic, you will get that extra burst of energy.
  • Lose some weight. It is easier said than done, but losing a few pounds makes a big difference when it comes to how energetic you feel.
  • Reduce stress. Stress causes fatigue.
  • Enjoy some revitalizing green tea.
  • Take a walk outside and enjoy nature for a few minutes.
  • Take a cold shower. This option isn’t for the faint of heart, but you might want to give it a try.

While it’s impossible to always feel 100 percent energized, you can quickly “recharge” by paying attention to your energy levels and knowing how to get those much-needed boosts when you’re feeling low.

Strategy #3 is more likely. I always prefered a warm shower. But, I realize I feel so sleepy and down all the day. I think there is a strong point in cold shower. I definitely cannot go with ice cold one but can keep it moderately cold enough..

Will return to log my experience soon.
