HOW TO GET THAT SECOND WIND……

Thursday, January 28, 2010

Feeling run-down? You’ll turn up the energy in five minutes if you…..

Refuel. Snack on fiber rich munchies such as dried apricots, celery sticks, an apple or a few pistachio nuts. Benefit: The fiber helps control the release of glucose (a sugar) in your bloodstream and may prevent energy dips.

Breathe Deeply: Every 1 – 2 hours, spend 5 minutes inhaling and exhaling deeply. It will help you feel calmer and more mentally focused, with renewed energy.

Take a visual vacation. Close your eyes and mentally escape by imagining a peaceful scene on an island, in a meadow or by the ocean. “Seeing” yourself relaxed can be rejuvenating.

Snap out of it. Splash cold water on your face or pop a breath mint – mint flavors are stimulating.

Take a “good news” inventory. At the end of the day, write down all the good times that happened. You’ll be surprised at how much went right. Plus, you’ll set yourself up for a good night’s sleep…. and energize yourself for tomorrow.
