Have More Energy Today
I've had problems with fatigue
and a lack of energy all my
life. It would be wonderful
to know why. I've asked doctors,
read books, and learned that
some questions just won't
be
answered in my lifetime.
I've also learned that even
without discovering the root
causes of my tiredness, there
are things I can do to
alleviate it. Here are some
of energy boosters that have
worked for me and others over
the years. Sometimes it helps
to use several at once.
Energy Boosters
1. Breath deeply. Three slow
deep breaths help oxygenate
the blood supply better, and
especially seems to wake up
the
brain.
2. Move. Often just getting
up and washing the dishes,
or
walking around the house helps
boost energy levels.
3. Talk about something interesting.
Get a tired person to
talk about something they're
passionate about, and watch
their energy level rise. This
one really works well.
4. Have a cup of coffee. Caffeine
makes some of us more
tired when it's abused, but
short-term, it can work
wonders.
5. Play energetic music. Different
types of music have
different effects on us, but
you can do this one by trial
and error. Once you find the
ones that work for you, keep
them ready.
6. Try any of those "energy
drinks." The verdict isn't
in
on most of them, but it's
a cheap option to try. I seem
to
get something from the ones
with Ginkgo Biloba in them.
7. Get better sleep. As long
as you get at least five hours
of sleep, the quality seems
to be more important than
the
quantity.
8. Exercise. This is a longer
term solution, but many
people notice an increase
in their energy level when
they
get regular aerobic exercise.
9. Take a hot and cold shower.
One minute of hot water, one
minute of cold, alternating
for six minutes. This isn't
for
those with weak hearts, but
it will wake you up.
Incidentally, research shows
that this also revs up the
immune system.
10. Go outside. Sometimes
a little sunshine and fresh
air
can be very energizing.
By all means try to find the
reasons for your tiredness
or
fatigue. In the meantime,
though, why not try some of
the
energy-boosting methods here?
None of them are expensive,
and you just might have more
energy, starting today.
