Tick Tock Tick Tock… and its 6 o’ clock. You get up and get going. What happens after a few hours? Does the going get tough? Do you feel tired and exhausted?
To fit it into your busy schedule, here are instant energy boosters to perk you up so that you get back to business!!

1. Peppery, Spirited, Happy isn’t that how you’d like to be described? – Restore your energy with Aroma Therapy with a lively blend of lemon, peppermint, rosemary and sweet orange. Inhale deeply for an instant pick-me-up or add a drop or two to your morning shower. Don’t you worry about skidding in the bathroom!

2. Move your body baby – Music and dance provide a holistic approach towards well being, integrating mental and physical aspects. Dance…even if you have nowhere but your living room. It will keep you charged up. Not as if you are in a bathroom queue, you silly! Learning will help!

3. Hydrate yourself - When you are not drinking enough of water, you will feel very tired; you will experience a nagging headache throughout the day. So drink lots of water.
You only need to make sure you have rest rooms around!

4. Would you go to bed with me? – For a good energy level, a good night sleep is must. No amounts of energy boosters can compensate for a good sleep. Come on you lazy bum, Rise and shine! You need to feel tired to try these tricks and feel energetic.

5. Eat healthy and think better - Midmorning slumps become a regular problem for those who skip breakfast. Have a good breakfast. Infact eat right throughout the day and see how you become more productive. Do not confuse eat right to eat rite throughout the day.

6. Use your fingers to gain energy – Alternative therapy type Mudra (Sanskrit word meaning sign or seal) is a gesture or position, usually of the hands, that locks and guides energy flow and reflexes to the brain. Warning: Consult an expert or you might take two stairs at a time.

7. Feel good - Wear fashionable clothes, high heels and feel good about yourselves. Bright and happy colors will also keep you active. But be kind to your ankles, you will miss them when they are gone.

8. Laughing is the best medicine – Read jokes, humorous quotes and stories. Laughter is a form of internal jogging. It enhances respiration. Jump up and down for joy. You will yourself notice the difference in your energy levels. Make sure nobody is watching you, or they might cut your ticket to loony town.

9. A man is known by the company he keeps – Surround yourself with upbeat and supportive people. They will lift you higher on the liveliness scale. Make sure you know how to come down.

10. ‘Pleasure-out’ – Workout the way you like it. Do one thing everyday that you enjoy. Remember the compliments you receive or read old love letters. Do it only when your spouse is not around.
