Especially in the winter months with decreased sunlight, many feel low energy and are looking for easy ways to boost your energy. Here are some simple ways to help invigorate your sense of liveliness. 

Recall the Mind Body Connection and 5 Keys to Holistic Health 

Have you ever noticed feeling sluggish after eating processed, fast food? By eating fruits and vegetables and nutritious, un-processed foods, you will provide your mind and body with the nutrients it needs to function optimally. As we mentioned in our Everyday Tips for Holistic Health blog post, you also need to drink enough water, get sufficient sleep, exercise, and work on alleviating chronic stress (see next point as we expand on this one.)  

Manage Stress

Perhaps the biggest stress management tip is simply taking care of you.  A lot of stress comes from when you’re tired or when you’re overwhelmed, causing your blood pressure to rise. Our “stress” emotions like anxiety and fear consume huge amounts of energy. Effective ways to reduce stress include talking with a friend or therapist, initiating a relaxation session like meditation or yoga, reading, or listening to music.  

Increase Intimacy

Hey Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! Did you know that being intimate and having sex can boost your energy levels and relieve stress? Additionally, it can boost your body confidence and offer several health benefits: 

• Lowering blood pressure
• Burning calories
• Increasing heart health
• Strengthening muscles 
• Reducing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and hypertension
• Increasing libido

Take Vitamins and Energy Supplements 

Magnesium supports everything from cardiovascular health to energy metabolism and is essential for more than 300 biochemical reactions. The recommended daily intake of magnesium is around 300 milligrams for women and 350 milligrams for men. Many foods contain high levels of magnesium, such as nuts and seeds, dark green vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. In addition to taking Vitamins and Supplements to bridge any nutritional gaps, you can also explore energy drinks, tonics, coffee and teas to help put a spring in your step. This can help: 

•     Boost energy levels, stamina & endurance
•     Enhance adaptability to stress
•     Restore mental alertness and push back fatigue
•     Support athletic performance

Embrace the Power Nap

Too much information and pushing your brain beyond mental limits zaps our energy. By making time for a 60-minute power nap, you can recharge your mind, increase memory of information, boost your immune system, and improve alertness.

Write Things Down

Our brains are crowded. The mental load of trying to keep track of everything is exhausting. By making a grocery list, writing out a gift list, or journaling, you can help get rid of loose ends your mind feels obligated to remember. This can help you feel more organized and alleviate fatigue. 

Step Outside

Even if you only have time for a 10-minute walk during your lunch hour, the fresh air (and hopefully sunshine) can feel invigorating. Nature therapy, ecotherapy, or green therapy is based on the idea that we are connected to and impacted by the environment.  Further, research shows there are positive mental and physical benefits of connecting with nature including reducing stress, anxiety, depression, and anger.

Try Essential Oils

Essential Oils can be uplifting, energizing and refreshing with invigorating scents associated with purification and cleanliness. These potions can also help lessen negative energy and its influence on your mood! Aromatherapy is an ancient and time-honored tradition. Essential Oils can be used in diffusers to breathe fresh air into a room or to simply to enjoy aromas that relax or stimulate your mind. Melt away stress and tension in an instant with a simple drop.
