How to energize your life
Let's face it, feeling tired is pretty much a global norm. Our work weeks are getting longer, and the burden of childcare, household chores, and sometimes even advancing educations all at the same time can be a huge burden.If you find yourself constantly exhausted, here are a few ways you can add new energy to your life, so you can feel refreshed and engaged once again.
Exercise
If you're exhausted, being told to hit the treadmill is probably not what you were expecting to hear.(Nap anyone?) Yet exercising can actually give you an energy boost during the day, help you sleep better at night, and improve your self image all at the same time.
Meditate
Meditation is a great way to help you reduce stress, improve your focus, and yes give you energy as well. Try sitting for 10 minutes and actively meditate every day. If you need a little help with meditation, there are apps and meditation music that can help you.
Eat better food
When we're constantly on the go, the only food readily available is generally take out. Although there is nothing wrong with the occasional bit of junk food, a constant supply can drain your energy without you knowing it. Make sure you incorporate healthy food into your life on a daily basis.
Prioritize sleep
Lack of sleep has a number of health problems associated with it. Yet when we are working hard or have a lot on our mind, it's often the first thing to go. Set an alarm for bed time the same way you do for waking up, cut caffeine after 5PM, and cut screen use 2 hours before bed time. You'll end up with higher quality sleep, especially if you combine it with the other things we listed.Working hard every day is normal, but it shouldn't lead you to being exhausted. Take the time to take care of yourself, and you'll be able to meet daily demands and still feel good.
