I could not wake up this morning. But I have some secrets that help boost my energy even on my 'snooze button' days, so I wasn't too stressed. I also know I'm not alone and other people would love to know what I do for my boost.
These Tips Will Help You Stop Hitting Snooze and Give You More Energy for Your Day!
Warm Lemon Water
This one works to give you that ZING and also cleanses... even your skin will look great after doing this a few days in a row! 1/2 Lemon. One mug of water. Honey to taste with a dash (or tsp) of cayenne pepper. GOOD MORNING!
Tea Bags
We both know that with very little sleep, you're likely to reach for a caffeinated beverage. If you're so wise to choose tea - steep your tea as usual but then apply the tea bag to your under eye area. If you can listen to some energizing music and lay down for 5 minutes like this, you will feel more energized AND your eyes will look brighter!
Eucalyptus Oil Shower
This one is great and wonderfully refreshing! Simply take the eucalyptus oil shower spray and spritz it into the steam of the shower! The naturally occurring menthol will open up your lungs and rejuvenate you from the inside out.
Peppermint Oil
I recommend keeping a small bottle of peppermint next to your bed. When you wake up (or during your daily lull), open the bottle and inhale deeply. You can even dab a few drops on your hairline, crown of the head and at the back of the neck. You'll be boosted quickly and ready to take on the world!
We hope you find these tips useful and able to give you the energy boost you're needing both inside and out! Have a beautiful day, from all of us at Eurospa!j
Fatigue, exhaustion and generally just feeling tired is one of the most common complaints in western societies. So how are you supposed to handle something so debilitating and yet common, in a healthy way?
This is a question circulating in many social circles, as people all over debate what form of stimulant is the best. From coffee to chocolate to supplements and energy drinks... people are determined to get energized.
If I told you that this was all possible in the most natural and healthy ways, would you lean in?
Well, here's your chance. If you have hit your limit and are tired of being tired, then I have some quick and easy ways for you to boost your energy naturally.
Here you go.
1. First of all, remove or decrease false stimulants in your diet and lifestyle that rob you of your energy reserves. Take an audit of your chocolate, coffee, tea, processed sugars and refined carbohydrates in your diet. These are false stimulants and only stimulate you on a superficial and temporary level, leaving you with a crash later on. So slowly decrease the false stimulants and replace them with fresh juice, water and tonic herbs. Your natural energy will become stronger as your body re-balances without these substances, and is able to know the proper energy release and relaxation needs your body is requiring.
2. Stay hydrated with clean, purified water. Not only do false stimulates confuse our adrenal glands, but they also dehydrate the body of it's need water! Most people know by now that the body is made of 80% water. If you aren't getting enough water while also dehydrating it with your food and beverage choices, you should know that your brain cells are going to suffer. In order to think clearly, your brain needs properly hydrated cells. If you feel like a wilted flower, it's likely you need to be watered.
3. Keep your body moving daily for best results. Committing to regularly moving your body will increase your natural energy flow dramatically. You'll notice after about a week that your normal symptoms of feeling sluggish, heavy and stagnant, will begin to shift in incredible ways. Your oxygen intake and absorption will increase, causing endorphins to begin to flow. Don't worry, you don't have to have a one hour power sweating session! Of course, those are great, but simply going for a fast paced walk or doing a series of yoga poses for a good 25-30 minutes, will boost your vitality quite quickly.
4. Get fresh .... with your air, that is. Find time each day to get out in the fresh air; even if it's raining. Take the time to breathe deeply and slowly, in through your nose and out through your mouth. Oxygen brought in through the nose goes more directly into the parts of the brain needed for active and focused thought. This is an easy tip to implement, and should be done 10 breaths at a time.
5. Stay in the moment. Focusing on your past or worrying about the finances or future instead of simply living in the moment your are currently experiencing, causes your stress levels to skyrocket. Stress instantly depletes your energy, because it releases the hormone Cortisol. Cortisol is big enemy of your adrenal glands. Too much cortisol release, and your adrenals will totally burn out. This is very serious and far harder to handle than simply being tired. To avoid this be sure to continually try to remind yourself to come back to the present moment. The whirlwind of thoughts creating stress and fatigue will decrease, your focus will increase and you will find your energy quickly rebuilding!
