Even when the days are long and the sun is out, do you still feel low? If so, know you’re not alone. Fortunately if you’re dragging a bit, it’s easy to lift your energy during this changing season. To do so, try these three simple energy boosters to get a bounce back in your step.
1. Break it up
Sometimes it’s easy to re-energize – just change your routine! Usually, your orderly left brain demands efficiency to get the most out of every day while your creative, right brain yearns for spicy variety rarely to be satisfied. The left brain chooses the quickest route to work, the fastest coffee shop, and the same lunch you always eat, right at your desk. Soon, your life becomes silently dull.
The good news is, it doesn’t have to be this way. Go ahead, break free! Get off the subway one stop earlier, or drive a slightly different way to work. Try a new spot for coffee, and get out of the office for at least 20 minutes at lunch. If you choose even just one of these things and allow yourself to drink in the shift in surroundings, you’ll get a noticeable uplift in energy with just a few minutes investment.
2. Clean it out
If you’re feeling slow physically, you may need a brief revitalization. It’s easy to give your system a cleansing jump-start. Try drinking only green tea and fruit juice for a day, this mini-fast will relieve your burdened digestive system, cleansing it and re-charging you. You’ll be amazed at how much more energy you have the next day. Or if you’ve got more fortitude, for three days, cut back on simple carbohydrates (bread, rice, cereal) and completely eliminate sugar. You’ll feel 10 years younger!
3. Step it up
The best way to burn off a blue mood is to motivate your metabolism. The best way to build energy is to exercise, even a few minutes a day. If you already workout, vary your exercise routine and if you don’t exercise, start. Even 20 minutes will give your skin a little flush of color, raise the oxygen levels in your blood, and give your spirits a discernable lift.
Walk 10 minutes away from your office and then turn around and walk back – and you’ve done enough to make a difference. You can also dance to a few favorite songs, or do a Pilates or ypga DVD. It takes less time than cooking a meal, or watching a favorite TV show, and it gives back energy in spades. Not only will you feel better, but also the commitment to exercise often grows naturally. And if you’re feeling flushed and fine for an extended period (say even a month), well, that often translates to more fun between the sheets!
It’s important to remember no matter how stuck you feel, a little effort can do the trick – and un-stick you.
