Have energy throughout the day
Energy Boosting Tip #5 Stimulate, balance and energise your body as soon as you wake up.
If you have trouble waking up and struggle to have enough energy to brush your teeth let alone think about how you are going to get through the rest of the day; take a few minutes to practice a few simple yoga breathing exercises or yoga stretches when you wake up. This will help to sweep the cobwebs from your mind and ease minor aches and pains from your body. Once you feel a bit more energetic it is easier for you to be positive and ready for your day.
Energy Boosting Tip #6 Eat foods which nurture, nourish and sustain your energy.
If you are looking for a way to reduce stress and naturally boost your energy ensure your diet is nutrient dense, rich in quality protein and snack on low glycaemia foods, e.g oatcakes, brazil and walnuts, to prevent blood sugar imbalances and loss of energy and motivation.
Supplement your diet with good quality organic nutritional supplements, especially magnesium, vitamin C and B vitamins. Magnesium is known as the “calming mineral” and can be found in dark leafy greens, seeds and nuts.
Energy Boosting Tip #7 Take more Me-Time-Breaks during your day
Instead of grabbing a take-away or sandwich and sitting at your desk eating whilst scanning your emails or checking your facebook updates, make a conscious effort to go out and sit somewhere quiet for ten minutes away from your desk. If you can go outside for a brisk two minute walk down your local high street or sit in a green open space, that’s an ideal antidote to raise your energy levels and feel better about yourself.
