Ways to boost our energy levels all day

Below are ways crucial for having fabulously consistent energy levels in our daily life:

Fresh air

Indoor pollutants can affect us in the form of an allergic reaction as soon as we enter a room. Fatigue is a symptom often linked to poor indoor air quality according to Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety. And so if you are feeling so, try to get out and get more fresh air. It will do you good - your body, mind and energy levels.

Water

Our muscles are made up of 70 per cent water while our brain made up of 75 per cent water. In order to keep our mind sharp and our muscles pain free and agile, we must be sufficiently hydrated throughout the day.

It is easy to get dehydrated when we do not drink enough water because we lose about two cups of water per day from even breathing alone. In addition, we also lose vital electrolytes such as sodium and potassium, which are important for major organ function.


Water also helps flush our toxins from our cells. Toxins make us feel ill and tired.


Movement

Movement will get rid of our stagnated energy. Important mood and energy affecting hormones like insulin and endorphins will get processed better or released in our body and the fatigue we feel from working will disperse into relaxation and revitalisation.

Love

Not having enough joy, contact and love in our life can take a toll on our health and energy levels.

Sleep

Modern sleep studies have discovered that our body releases hormones to keep us on schedule. If we stay up late, we add extra stress to our body by demanding it to keep us going at the time when it needs rest.

Stress 

Stress will deplete our body of energy. When we are under stress, we spend most of our time worrying over-thinking or overworking. Not allowing our body and mind to relax will age us, draining our vital energy.

Replenish ourselves by quieting our mind on a daily basis. Start by incorporating a simple mindfulness meditation into our daily life.


Focusing our thoughts requires quieting our mind. The more we are able to become quiet internally, the more refreshed and energised we shall start to feel.

Self-awareness

Rather than ignoring or repressing the feelings that are uncomfortable, try to face them. Once we know the root of our pain and release the emotions that come up around it, we can bring ourselves back to a more rational state of mind and deal with whatever the real issues are with maturity and stability.

Spirituality

Many people feel more balanced and energised when they connect with a faith or higher purpose. Life can feel long and weary if we do not connect with something greater than ourselves.
