How To Have More Energy Today
BySteven Gillman
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.
