Feeling sleepy or lazy? Well here's some tips for an quick and easy energy boost!
1. Green tea is a great way to get caffeine without getting the jitters! Even though it only has about 55 milligrams of caffeine it can also help get rid of withdrawal headaches too!
2. Believe it or not when you wear bright colors you project energy that is radiated back to you by the people you encounter! So wear colors like red, orange, fuchsia and bright blue!
3. Experts say that to maintain consistent energy throughout the day you should modulate your blood sugar. So fill your diet with high fiber and low-glycemic foods and start meals with protein.
4. Try to expose yourself to direct light between 1pm and 3pm which is when the body’s core temp drops and you become sleepy.
5. Keep mints handy. Pop a mint and it will induce wakefulness.
6. Exercise! If exercising wakes you up then you should do it after you wake up! Although if it makes you tired try exercising in the evening so then you can get a good night sleep!
7. Get citrus, peppermint or jasmine scented candles! They stimulate wakefulness and controls alertness!
