Simple Ways to Energize Your Day

vacation yogaThere are only a few people who can call themselves “morning people.” The concept of waking up energized each day can seem like quite a challenge, and it takes a little more than a cup of coffee to fix. Luckily, there are few ways you can adopt each morning so you won’t have to feel exhausted, unable to wake up or experience a slump in mood and energy. 

Read on below for simple ways to energize your day. 

Grab a Cup of Joe 

This is a no brainer, as a good and delicious cup of coffee in the morning will give you a much-needed energy jolt! Coffee aficionados at CoffeeDino.com recommend learning everything you can about brewing your own cup of coffee at home. Roasting your own beans or getting an espresso machine will not only enhance your coffee-making skills but ensures that you only get what you want in your cup. Making your own cup of coffee is actually healthier than grabbing a coffee-to-go from any coffee shop; you’ll avoid consuming coffee with high levels of sugar that may or may not cause an energy crash throughout the day. 

Get Enough Rest 

In order to wake up super refreshed in the morning, you need to have a good night’s sleep. This can only work if you get enough hours of uninterrupted sleep during the night. Make it a habit not to drink caffeine after 6 PM, but drink calming herbal teas instead. You should also avoid using any electronics before bed, and it’s wise to avoid napping during the day so you won’t say up late or sleep uncomfortably at night. 

Let In Some Sunshine 

Sometimes all you need in the morning is to create a morning ritual that will wake your body and brain up. Let some sunshine in as being exposed to sunlight will decrease your natural melatonin- which is the sleep hormone that induces sleep. 

Create a Calming Morning Ritual 

Consider also waking up a few minutes earlier than you’re supposed to so you’ll allow your body time to adjust, sometimes sitting alone with your thoughts is the perfect way to give yourself an energy jolt. You can also take advantage of quiet mornings and make a habit of meditating for a few minutes when you wake up. Meditating actually boosts long-term energy throughout your day, and you’ll deal with overwhelming and stressful thoughts much better. 

Eat Brain Foods

Because we often lead very busy lives, we can forget that food fuels all our energy. No matter what you do, don’t skip breakfast; having a nutritious meal in the morning has been known to energize your mornings. However, make sure that you’re eating the right meal so you won’t experience a midday crash. 

Avoid sugary foods or meals that are full of carbs; instead, consider eating protein like eggs or yogurt. Protein and whole grains are known to slowly break down within your body, thus elongating your productivity levels. You can also make your own homemade parfaits with nuts, yogurt, and fresh fruit. Sticking to protein and healthy fatty foods like nuts will give you a much-needed energy jolt. 

Make Sure to Hydrate

More often than not, your exhaustion can stem from the fact that you’re not hydrating enough. Many physicians recommend drinking 8+ glasses of water each day, and if you’re not getting enough H2O, then that’s probably one of the reasons for your energy slump. Make sure to have a water bottle with you at all times, and drink enough throughout the day. 

Get Your Body Moving 

One way to wake your brain up is by moving your body. Consider getting a quick workout in each morning, even if it’s for 10 minutes. Sometimes heading to the gym very early in the morning can be discouraging. In order to make exercising a habit, prepare your workout beforehand. You can choose a targeted workout from the comfort of your own home that is 10-15 minutes long, and make it part of your morning ritual. 

You can also take your workouts outside by going for a morning jog or run; this way, the great outdoors is bound to give you the energy jolt you need. You can also practice yoga to become in-tune with your body and prepare it for the day ahead. 

Set The Day’s Tone 

Sometimes all you need for the day is a little control on your end. This means that you should start your day planning out what tasks you can or can’t do. Setting up what your day should look like realistically will, in fact, give you enough motivation to power through your day. Setting realistic expectations as well will also help you not become overwhelmed or stressed throughout the day. 

Maintaining energy throughout your day, albeit tricky, is an easy task if you follow these simple steps mentioned above. You’ll be surprised what daily habits you do that may affect your energy negatively. As such, following a few simple morning rituals will give you a much-needed energy jolt!
