If you’re going through a busy time or just lacking a bit of energy are there any little things you do which help increase your energy levels?

A cool shower and hair wash. Fresh zesty perfume. Cup of tea! The promise of a Power Nap.

More sleep
fruit and veg
loads of water
caffeine
gentle exercise, not exhausting exercise
Kind Energy patches - I do find these work, it’s irrelevant whether it’s a placebo or not really
Lil sound bath on my phone - I use insight timer app

Omega 3 and a decent multivitamin.
Getting out in the sunshine (lucky enough to have some here today)

A 10 minute morning full body yoga stretch online with Kassandra or Adriene
Vitamin boosts - especially herbal iron capsules, Vit D spray and B-complex or a fizzy multivit in a big glass of water
A glass of iced cold water
Fresh brewed coffee
Doing 20 jacks, squats, high knees, high kick toe touches
Standing outside, whatever the weather, taking a few deep slow breaths and staring at something natural - a flower, bird or the sky
Playing energising music that I love
Lots of veg and good lean protein: eggs, fish, poultry or lean red meat. Eating a lot of raw veg has massively boosted my energy in the past but I haven't done it for ages.
A 5-10 minute power nap
A 5 minute hot shower. Cold showers are supposed to wake you up but they make me crash and want to hibernate. :)

Listening to upbeat music really loudly perks me up.
