5 Simple Ways to Boost Your Energy

5 Simple Ways to Boost Your Energy
So you've woke up on the wrong side of the bed and are lacking in energy but its only 10am! Coffee is your best friend but it simply isn't cutting your sleepy brain from keeping motivated, what do you do? Here are some simple ways to boost your energy and get you through the day without cheekily turning to the caffeine or energy drinks.

Healthy Diet | I know I know, I wrote the dreading words 'healthy' and 'diet' in the same sentence, but bear with me on this one. It's a known fact that if you are eating unhealthy foods frequently and not getting enough of the good vitamins your body will feel drained and you're likely to get fatigued quicker. Some foods that are full of energy that I eat are fruit (bananas, apples), nuts and chia seeds.

Don't Skip Breakfast| Following on from the first tip but skipping a meal can have a huge effect on your body as well as your mind. I am one of those people who wake up and have to eat my breakfast even if I am hungover or ill, it's such an important meal to kick start your day. If I do skip my breakfast my body doesn't feel as ready for the day ahead so it is always important to have breakfast, even if it is just a bit of fruit or a GoAhead bar.

Wonder Around | Rather than me bore you with the typical, apparent go do some exercise why not just go for a walk. Especially if you have spent the day glued to a computer it is nice to take half an hour out and go for a nice walk around the block. Going for a walk or exercising, in general, allows your body to feel a lot more awake and you will find the more you do it the longer your body has energy. Since I joined the gym my body never feels the need to take an afternoon nap.

Stress Less | It is a known fact that stress can allow you to feel a lot more tiresome so it is wise to try and avoid it. If I feel like I am getting stressed I like to just take 5 minutes out and breathe or if I am at home I have a nice bath and switch off the internet for a little while. Very important to keep a clear, open mind.

Drink Plenty of Water | Another obvious one but something we all tend to forget at times but it is incredibly important to drink water every day. I always try to drink at least 2 litres a day and I must admit fresh cold water has such an effect on my body for keeping motivated and energetic.

  1. These are great tips! I should definitely go for a walk more. I get lost in my work and before I know it 2 hours have gone by and all I have done is stared at the computer screen x

    1. I think technology can really make us become so unsociable with the outside world at times so you appreciate when you do go outside!

  4. I don't know if its just me but whenever I have breakfast (not as often as I should tbh), I end up feeling hungrier through out the day. And I mean that in a good way because it helps kick start my system! x

    1. I used to get like this when I was at school, I'd eat breakfast at 7/8 and be hungry by 11 I think snacks are alright though like a bit of fruit or a cereal bar

    1. Thanks Gillian! We are only human I think it is natural for us to stress and not always have a routine I stress out so much so I am working on it myself!

    1. It is one of those things that is so easy to forget! See I have a routine once I've ate my breakfast and went back to the kitchen that is when I get my water out the fridge! I always stress out especially recently but I just try and think it's not the end of the world
