I've had problems with fatigue and a lack of energy all my life. It would be wonderful to know why. I've asked doctors, read books, and learned that some questions just won't be answered in my lifetime. I've also learned that even without discovering root causes of my tiredness, there are things I can do to alleviate it. Here are some of energy boosters that have worked for me and others over years. Sometimes it helps to use several at once.
Energy Boosters
1. Breath deeply. Three slow deep breaths help oxygenate blood supply better, and especially seems to wake up brain.
2. Move. Often just getting up and washing dishes, or walking around house helps boost energy levels.
3. Talk about something interesting. Get a tired person to talk about something they're passionate about, and watch their energy level rise. This one really works well.
4. Have a cup of coffee. Caffeine makes some of us more tired when it's abused, but short-term, it can work wonders.
5. Play energetic music. Different types of music have different effects on us, but you can do this one by trial and error. Once you find ones that work for you, keep them ready.
